Poll of Middle-Income Rust Belt Voters: Hillary 46, Trump 39

Forty-six percent of those surveyed in the Bloomberg poll said they would vote for Clinton while only 39 percent would vote for Trump, the presumptive GOP Republican nominee .


The poll also showed that 43 percent of voters felt Clinton would fight harder for the middle class compared to 29 percent of those who said Trump would.

The poll, conducted online by Purple Strategies, interviewed 803 likely voters who earn between $30,000 to $75,000 in Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. It had a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.

We are too smart to be taken in by the likes of Trump...now Bernie could not win though...the majority would not vote for any sort of a socialist. I live in Ohio.
