Majority of Voters ‘Could Not See’ Supporting Donald Trump, Ted Cruz or Hillary Clinton

More than half of registered voters said they could not see themselves supporting Donald Trump, Ted Cruz or Hillary Clinton in a new poll.

The NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll found that Donald Trump elicited the most responses from registered voters saying they “could not see” themselves supporting him, with 68% percent agreeing. Some 61% said the same about Cruz, 58% about Clinton, and just under 50% for both Bernie Sanders and John Kasich.

The poll was conducted among 1,000 registered voters from April 10 to 14 and has an overall margin of error of +/- 3.1%.

Now add a FBI subpoena to that equation and Hillary is completely Unelectable

Many folks are so fed up with her BS and so many others are turned off by the constant political BS tactics. One way or another, they'll learn the hard way.

Historically GOP voters show up to vote AGAISNT some one or some thing. Hillary would be the catalyst for the GOP "Get Out the Vote"

Stein may be the (undeserving) indirect beneficiary of the Sanders campaign, in that some of the new voters he's inspired to register will vote for her in the general if he's not on the ballot. On that basis I'll predict that she'll do better than the 0.36% she got last time. (Of course, if Sanders is the nominee she'll do worse than that mark.)

Will her candidacy influence the major parties? Well, in that same 2012 election, Gary Johnson on the Libertarian line clobbered her, getting 0.99% of the vote. The result, you'll notice, has NOT been that the major parties try to modify their positions so as to attract Libertarians. The Democrats are still against abolishing the IRS. The Republicans still want "small, limited" government that nevertheless controls women's reproductive rights. Not surprisingly, Stein's influence on the national conversation has also been nonexistent.

she would try to adapt to some of Bernie's strategy to get more noticed if he goes down.

They basically just want to gather and call the rest of us stupid. I already dealt with them and ran. They aren't touting anything that Bernie and Warren aren't. I'll vote to stop Hillary because she is a war monger. I won't waste my vote by not voting or voting for someone who can't beat Hillary.

But, honestly. Hillary has been on a down hill roll for months. She isn't going to turn that around. I think we will be running with Bernie. If we aren't the DNC will have a massive exodus.

Bernie decided to seek the Democratic nomination. As a result, he was in the debates. He was also taken at least somewhat seriously by the media because, although an underdog, he obviously had at least some chance of capturing the nomination -- much more than any Green Party candidate's chance of being elected President.

Incidentally, 2000 was a real missed opportunity in this respect. If Nader had run for the Democratic nomination, he would have been in multiple debates against Bradley and Gore, and he would have reached many people with his ideas. Instead, what we had was that, in debates between Gore and Bush, there'd be an occasional clip of Nader standing out in the parking lot, whining about not being included.

Getting back to Stein, I doubt that there's anything she can do to get more notice than she did in 2012 (when, after all, she was trying to get notice).

Say they can't vote for Trump, Cruz or Hillary, hope Bernie is the nominee. Let it be so.

He voted for Sanders in the primary and if Trump gets the nomination he will vote for Sanders in the general. If Clinton beats Sanders he will vote for Trump. I think many people underestimate the extreme feeling many people have one way or the other about her. Too many years of RW attacks have left some damage.

If Clinton wins I am going to try and convince him to just not vote or maybe write in a vote if possible.

After so many years, many republicans are convinced (thanks fox news) that she is the devil in disguise.
