Trump and Clinton set records here, too: both have the lowest net favorability numbers ever measured. “If we were trying to maximize the effect, we couldn’t have found better nominees than Trump and Clinton”. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov.
Trump, a multimillionaire’s son, is worth about $4.5 billion according to Forbes, though he claims more.
“I still haven’t made up my mind yet if I can vote for Trump in the general election”, Jensen said. “That kind of messaging can be helpful for a Democrat, and particularly a Democratic female candidate”.

“As a Republican elected official, I am inclined to support the nominee of my party”, Toomey wrote in an op-ed piece published Sunday in The Philadelphia Inquirer.
On the Democratic side, Bernie Sanders still has a small mathematical shot of beating Clinton, but her inherent name recognition and establishment backing largely prevailed, as she is now about 280 pledged delegates ahead of the Vermont senator. Sanders leads Trump 44 to 42 percent in Florida, 43 to 41 percent in OH and 47 to 41 percent in Pennsylvania.
After Trump’s comments about the “woman’s card”, Clinton used the attack as a hugely successful fundraiser – selling pink “woman cards” and “deal me in” t-shirts. She led by 5 points in August, which had dropped to 3 points ahead of last month’s primary. The survey of 1,051 voters has a three percentage point margin of error.
As has been consistent throughout the election, Sanders overwhelmingly leads among young people.
According to the latest poll averages from RealClearPolitics, Clinton beats Trump by 6.4 points, while Sanders beats Trump by 13 points. “And the two candidates are about where their party predecessors were at this point in OH and Florida”.

The Gallup daily tracking poll even shows Trump with a double-digit favorability edge over his last two rivals going into the IN primary.
Unlike in Pennsylvania’s closed primary, Trump will now need to woo Democrats and independents.
The Quinnipiac survey also asked voters a series of questions describing each candidate and how they would perform as president.
Majorities of voters in the states say Trump would do a better job handling the economy, and in Florida and OH, voters said he would be the best dealing with terrorism.
The age gap narrows as voters 18 to 34 years old go 43 percent for Clinton and 39 percent for Trump, while voters over 65 go 46 percent for Trump and 40 percent for Clinton. Clinton’s minus-20 would be by far the lowest in history – if not for Trump’s, which is even worse at minus-41.
“Those are war crimes”, Clinton said. Majorities in all three states also say the former secretary of state has the temperament to handle an global crisis. Male troops backed Trump over Clinton 57 percent to 22 percent.
A majority of voters in OH and Pennsylvania also say they oppose building a wall along the Mexican border, Trump’s highest profile issue.
On other issues, 75 percent of OH voters support requiring a photo identification card in order to vote, and 54 percent thought illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay in the country and apply for citizenship.
