At least in New Jersey, early reports of Democrats boarding the Trump Train this cycle (he needs to convert a LOT of Dems to win the general) appear to be somewhat premature and of little comfort for Garden State Republicans running down-ballot, Save Jerseyans. He’s losing here… yuuuge.
A new poll from Fairleigh Dickinson University released Monday finds presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton destroying Republican frontrunner Donald Trump 52% to 36% statewide margin among New Jersey registered voters.
That’s comparable to “loser” Mitt Romney‘s 2012 performance, when Barack Obama carried New Jersey 58.38% to 40.59% in the immediate aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.
#NeverTrump? Still unclear. 77% of Republican registered voters say they’ll stick with him which is somewhat weak but just 63% of self-identified conservatives plan to do so.
Demographics: Trump does edge Clinton among white New Jersey voters (47% to 40%) but loses over 60 voters (48% to 40%) and gets blown out among non-white voters (77% to 13%) and younger voters (64% to 21%). Trump ties Clinton in South Jersey (42% to 44%) but doesn’t come close in North Jersey (56% to 33%).

Doesn’t matter. Republicans never win this hopeless state in the general election anyway.
There are 49 more states.
Of course he is. Trump is more Conservative than Romney and Nj is a very liberal state in both parties.
Since when is losing by 17.79% worse than losing by 16%?. And trump hasn’t started on Clinton yet his numbers will get much better especially in New Jersey
New Germany voters are clueless and will always vote for a Dumbocrat president. They haven’t taken it up the rear enough with the Dumocrat legislature we have already to keep voting for Democrats!
Probably because of the Christie endorsement. Might play well outside NJ but Christie is a real drag for NJ.
Trump has no appeal in any state except for white men. He is going to lose the general election in a landslide if nominated.
There are more voting age illegals and jihadists in NJ now than there were in 2012 …….
Hes not actually doing terrible. Certainly it will be more competitive than 2008 and 2012 here. This was also a pretty rough week for him which I assume he’ll rebound from.
Look at nj track record. Christie passed as conservative. The same guy that gave illegals instate tuition. That is not ery conservative
Clinton also has less room to grow. She has 83% of Democrats and 40% of whites. She might hit mid 80s w Dems and 42-43 with whites. Trump is likely to top 90% with Republicans and win more of the 22% of Independents that are undecided. He will need to max out White working class votes and win over either some blacks or Hispanics.
In a 66% white electorate, even with 20% of minority votes, he would need 65% of the white vote. While Christie got this in 2013, we know many white Dems either sat it out or voted for him. I think low 60s is possible but he still needs to get his minority vote to 25%. This is doable.
Jersey man voting for Trump
Who cares
You get what you deserve.
Because we live in a hopeless blue state. Romney is a loser. Voted for him last election, never again.
