  • Trump Unpopular, but Still Heavily Favored in Utah
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 23, 2016 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Trump Unpopular, But Still Heavily Favored in Utah Raleigh, N.C. – In a year where much has been made of voters not liking their choices for President, there's probably nowhere that's truer than Utah. Donald Trump has a 31/61 favorability rating in the state. That makes him the popular candidate there, by comparison, as Hillary Clinton comes in at 23/72. Clinton's unpopularity makes Utah probably a step too far for Democrats even in a year where Trump's weakness as a candidate is putting unusual states on the map. Trump leads the state with 39% to 24% for Clinton, with Gary Johnson at 12%, Evan McMullin at 9%, Darrell Castle at 2%, and Jill Stein at 1%. If voters had to choose just between the two major candidates, Trump's lead would grow to 20 points at 53/33. Much has been made of Trump's unpopularity with Mormons and certainly that's a real thing- only 33% of Mormons see him favorably to 56% with an unfavorable opinion. But that still puts him in much better position than Clinton who comes in at 12/84 with Mormons. When it comes to the horse Clinton is actually tied for third among Mormons in the state- Trump gets 44%, McMullin 13%, and Clinton and Johnson tie for third at 12%. Echoing a finding we made the last time we publicly polled Utah in 2011, non-Mormon Utah would be one of the most Democratic states in the country.

  • Trump Leads by Only 6 in Texas
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 16, 2016 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Trump Leads By Only 6 in Texas Raleigh, N.C. – PPP's new Texas poll finds a relatively tight race, at least on the curve of recent Presidential election results in the state. Donald Trump leads with 44% to 38% for Hillary Clinton, 6% for Gary Johnson, 2% for Jill Stein, and less than half a percent (0) for Evan McMullin. In a head to head contest Trump leads Clinton 50-44 in the state, which Mitt Romney won by 16 points in 2012. A Democratic victory in Texas this year remains a stretch but within the numbers there are signs of Democrats being positioned to become seriously competitive there in the years ahead. Trump's lead is based entirely on his holding a 63-33 advantage among seniors. With voters under 65, Clinton leads him 49-45. And when you look just specifically at voters under 45, Clinton leads Trump 60-35. Older voters are overwhelmingly responsible for the Republican advantage in Texas, and generational change is likely to help Democrats become more competitive. A big piece of that generational change is the increasing racial diversity of the electorate in Texas. Trump has a 69/25 lead with white voters but the reason the state's so competitive overall is that among non-white voters Clinton has a 73-21 lead, including a 68-27 edge with the state's booming Hispanic population.

Our round- up of state blogs will follow on Saturday afternoon. Jump to: Elections and the road to 2016 Government, the Beltway and Congress’ agenda Foreign policy, defense and trade Obamacare and health policy The economy and society And finally… President Obama, the Democratic Party, and the GOP With President Obama vacationing in Martha’s Vineyard this week, and Donald Trump’s continued domination of the political news cycle, there was little commentary on the president or his party outside that on the 2016 presidential race. The Federalist, however, did give a piece of advice to the Democratic Party on Monday, suggesting that it should rename itself given its historic association with slavery. Townhall meanwhile reckons that there is ‘widespread panic’ amongst the Democratic Party given that former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, is ‘in meltdown’ with her rival, Vermont Senator, Bernie Sanders leading the polls in some states. Moving on to the Republican Party, Daily Kos this week looks at how the Party has been able to gain a semi- permanent majority in the US House of Representatives and in many state legislatures through gerrymandering.
