The most telling segment is the 30.7% "other/Wouldn't vote/refused".

That large a number tells me that probably 80-90% of that 30.7% is going to vote Trump...possibly Cruz...but wouldn't say. And with Cruz & Trump being so close at this juncture, that tells me Hillary is gonna get her clock cleaned in the general election.

SATAN himself. At least he’s honest about who and what he is.

Good question. Upon further review, as they say in the NFL, I would go with over estimate. I had not gave it much thought until you raised the question.

Trump motivates people

So does Hillary...

Speaking of Hillary...
You'll have to excuse me, I got to go take a crap.

“ I will not subject myself to being forced to voting for the lesser of 2 liberals again.”

How well did that plan work out for those idiots like you who sat out in 2012??
Romney wasn’t by far perfect but 90% of the s**t we’re dealing with now wouldn’t be taking place if he’d won.

“Conservatism” isn’t just a set of beliefs. It’s a determination to help preserve our country. Not sit at home and pout because your guy didnt get in.

If our founding fathers decided to sit out b/c they didn’t like George Washington, we might still be controlled by the British.

Get your head out of your ass. This is not an election to play games!!

"I can NOT believe there are that many STUPID DemoRats in the USA"

It's worse than that! The demonicrat traitors who voted for Traitorobama will vote for Satan's daughter.

You can bitch all you want. No party is entitled to a vote. No man or woman is entitled to a vote.

Lesser evil idiocy caused this situation we are in because people chose evil over principle. They not only got liberals elected, they elected them personally.

You want non voters to come out? Run good people. The problem is that good people will not run often because they see the moral cowards that make up what should be their base. To find the problem with America, one need only look in the mirror.

Democrats did not elect the congress that wrote a trillion dollar Obama giveaway and neither did Obama. Republican lesser evils did. And they were elected by lesser evil believing fools.

Wow. Looking at Reagan’s track from that January, Trump is doing quite well. Reagan was a LANDSLIDE.

If you are beyond belief on the issue voter stupidity, consider that a large majority of the population consider Hillary a liar and untrustworthy while a majority of those polled consider Hillary the most admired woman.

How many people sat out 2012 that had a record of voting in the past?

On what would you base such a number?

I’m more worried about the 30+% who refuse to vote.

That's the most important part of the poll...

Clinton will get her 35 to 40 percent of brain dead libtard zombies...

I's love to see the breakout of the ' refuse to vote ' part of the poll...

My guess is a lot of them are Sanders supporters who refuse to vote for Hillary...

I guess that's why we are hearing a lot lately about Sanders team reaching out to Trump supporters...

The only abject morons playing games are the people screaming about the country being in mortal jeopardy when their own actions put it in said jeopardy.

The games you reference are played by people who are electing Republicans that have 100% supported every major Obama action, while claiming, absurdly, that we need more of them to stop Obama.

Likewise, bitching about people refusing a guy with a mirror record to Barry on gays, judges, taxes, 1 and 2A issues and a thousand more would indicate mental retardation of active attempts to elect liberals.

I believe the refused part of the 30%+ is not refusing to vote, but refusing to say who they’ll vote for. This makes it much more interesting. Also consider that Hill gets around 37% here and o’s approval is in the 40’s.

So what candidate are you supporting? You seem to support as many Republicans as Hillary Clinton does. Zero.

Cruz. And I wish he would leave the GOP.

Scream ‘no matter what’ all you like. You helped wreck this country with your lesser evil idiocy. History shows clearly what lesser evil voting resulted in and here you are AGAIN demanding more of it.

Truth upset you? DGAF.

Those who won’t vote for (or against) a candidate are persuaded to vote for (or against) a friend or neighbor activist.

Many, many people vote because their friend or neighbor asked them to. Whether R or D will have the best ground game is the question.

Some activists are more effective salesmen for their candidate than others. A good salesman finds out what the customer wants to buy and sells that feature.

When Jim Webb was running in VA, he identified leftist volunteers who did not bathe, had BO, jewelry in weird body places, weird clothing, etc. He did not want those activists in his campaign. He paid them to work Chicago’s suburbs against Roskam. They actually lost the Democrat votes in that race and Roskam won. In contrast, local volunteers who dressed normal gained votes for Duckworth.

The same happens on our side. We have people who say “My candidate is pro-life no exceptions. You can’t vote for my candidate unless you are pro-life no exceptions.” That loses votes for their candidate.
