CHARLESTON, W.Va., Aug. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- If the 2016 General Election were held today, 26 percent of West Virginians would vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton, while 58 percent would vote for an unspecified Republican candidate, according to a survey conducted by Orion Strategies, a strategic communications firm with offices in Charleston and Buckhannon.
Donald Trump holds a commanding lead among Republican presidential candidates, according to the Orion Strategies poll. Twenty-nine percent of respondents said they would vote for Trump, compared to eight percent for his closest challenger, Marco Rubio – who is statistically tied with Jeb Bush, Mike Huckabee, Ben Carson and Ted Cruz. Still, a plurality of Republican and Independents are undecided.
Orion Strategies today released the first results of a new, wide-ranging statewide poll that measured voter attitudes toward next year's election and significant national issues – including questions about Obamacare, Planned Parenthood, the use of body cameras by police and the treaty with Iran.
"Every year or two, Orion Strategies compiles a list of all the questions we ourselves want to ask," said Curtis Wilkerson, president and CEO of Orion Strategies. "We poll often, but almost all of the polling we do on a regular basis remains proprietary. So this is always a fun and enlightening project."

The live-interview telephone survey was conducted among historic, likely voters in West Virginia. A total of 406 respondents completed the entire survey – giving the poll a 4.9 +/- margin of error with a 95 percent confidence rate. The sample was proportionate to each of the three congressional districts in the state. All 55 counties were called, and results were collected from 54 of those counties. Partisan registration among respondents was 52 percent Democratic, 34 percent Republican and 14 percent Independent.

The West Virginia red state revolution is almost complete. Now to get rid of Manchin.
Did anyone else notice all the Trump damage to the Republican party revealed over there?
LOL
This is one poll I think folks should use the link and look at. There are some interesting issues covered over there, not just the election.
I’m surprised Rubio is doing so well in W. Virginia. That is, if 8% is considered to be doing well.
Why wait until January, 2017? Trump should just move into the White House when Obama is off playing golf. The world would be better off for it!
After Trump stuffed Ramos like a piñata last night, his numbers will
continue to grow. Big time.

Most comprehensive one I’ve seen this round! Thanks for posting.
You bet. Take care...
