Why Democrats Love Donald Trump

20% of Democrats Would Jump Ship for Trump

[dropcap size=big]Y[/dropcap]ou’re probably thinking, “BS! No Democrat would even consider voting for someone like Donald J. Trump!” Well, according to a poll from Mercury Analytics, a company whose clients include Fox and MSNBC, you’d be wrong! Nearly 20% of Democrats would take Trump over the current Democratic frontrunner, Hillary Clinton. How could this be?

The poll was surveyed about 916 self-described “likely voters” this week, with a margin of error of about 3.5%. The results showed that roughly 20% of Democrats will vote for Trump over Clinton, compared to a much less impressive 14.5% for Republican voters who’d instead vote for Hillary. Of those groups, an even higher percentage of Democrats said they are “100% certain” they will be switching parties this year. The reason for their support, Mercury CEO Ron Howard said, is that Trumps advertisements resonated better with Democratic voters. The results with the dial test results can be found here.

 

“We expected Trump’s first campaign spot to strongly appeal to Republican Trump supporters, with little impact – or in fact negative impact – on Democratic or independent voters…

The challenge to Hillary, if Trump is the nominee and pivots to the center in the general election as a problem-solving, independent-minded, successful ‘get it done’ businessman is that Democrats will no longer be able to count on his personality and outrageous sound bites to disqualify him in the voters’ minds.”

 

Results from the poll also show that almost a quarter of Democrats who watched the ads “completely agreed” that it raises a good point, with 19% more saying it did “somewhat”.

In addition, the constant scandals Hillary finds herself emerged in, an ongoing federal investigation with looming criminal charges, suggestions the debates are rigged in her favor, the rumors of poor health, and the recent resurfacing of allegations of sexual assault toward her husband, make her ticket look less attractive each passing day. Trump, with a grade-A PR team and a no-nonsense attitude towards dissent, easily fends off media smear campaigns with each passing month. It’s gotten to the point where any outlet that attacks Trump risks losing the patronage of his voter base, a move many are no doubt considering too risky at this point.

Howard also hits the nail on the head when he says “outrageous soundbites [will no longer] disqualify him in the voters’ minds.” This poll is showing that to many people, baseless attacks to Trump’s character are doing the opposite of what the liberal elite hope to; driving support from the left to Trump instead of directing independents away from him.
