A new NBC poll taken between June 27-July 3 indicates that the RNC’s decision to do everything it can to prevent a Dump Trump movement at the GOP convention is badly calculated. The poll found that although a Hillary Clinton-Donald Trump matchup showed Clinton handily beating Trump, Clinton either lost or tied with other prospective GOP candidates.
The poll showed Clinton defeating Trump by five percentages points, 48% to 43%. That margin is far greater than Barack Obama’s margin of victory in 2012, when he defeated Mitt Romney by three percentage points, 51% to 48%, and swamped him in the electoral college vote, 332 to 206. Even when Libertarian Gary Johnson and Green party nominee Jill Stein are added to the mix, Clinton still leads by three percentage points, 41% to 38%, the equivalent of Obama’s 2012 victory.
