NBC found Trump leading among men and women, Republicans and independents, conservatives and moderates. And 61 percent of likely GOP voters said they strongly support their candidate, while just 12 percent said they are likely to change their mind.
Trump appeared at Macomb Community College, in Macomb County, home of the storied Democratic voters who helped put Ronald Reagan in the White House in the 1980s. Trump took the stage just 12 hours after a contentious Republican debate in Detroit, and after 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney attacked Trump in a widely-discussed speech.
This is Michigan, Romney's home state, where Romney's father was governor, where his niece Ronna Romney McDaniel chairs the state Republican party, and where the Romney name is still held in high regard. I didn't talk to anyone who hadn't voted for Mitt Romney in 2012. And I didn't talk to anyone who approved of Romney's decision to go after Trump.
"I was very upset about that," said Bill Heald, of Oak Park. "I voted for Romney. He had no business saying anything … If you were going to get into it, get into it earlier. Don't start that crap right now."
"I thought it was a very low blow," said Mike Morris, of Brighton.
"He was out of place," said Paul Lee, of Sterling Heights.
"He shouldn't have done what he did," said Martha Theis, also of Sterling Heights. "I don't think that he did that on his own. I think the party put him up to it."
"I personally didn't like it," said Rani Escamilla, of Sterling Heights. "He ran, I voted for him, now he's done, stay away, let's move on."

“...where his niece Ronna Romney McDaniel chairs the state Republican party.”
Rah-Roh
Romney grew up in Michigan. Would love the voters of Michigan to tell Romney to go away by voting for trump.
Who leads with the other "genders"? I'd guess Rubio is popular with that crowd.
The GOP will never unring this stop Trump hysteria bell.
Before this is over, Romney will be as popular in MI as Gore is in TN!
Trump will get almost all of lower Michigan. His pro blue collar platform just wins it easily.
Cruz will be strongest North of Saugatuck (gay art colony) to Grand Haven. This includes Holland and Zeeland which are heart of the Dutch Reformed Church.
The UP is a crap shoot, lots of outdoorsmen for Trump though. Flint will be a toss-up between Trump and the Rube.
Kaisch will get a few bloody Buckeye turncoats near the Toledo Strip...may they rot in Cleveland!
Whatever they plan to unload on Trump in the coming months, it will only serve to endear him with supporters all the more.
Not gonna work this time.
It will all blow up in their faces.
Good luck MSM & GOPe!
Har
Can you believe Kasich is all happy, cause he got Ah-nold’s endorsement?! California Republicans HATE the guy! Kasich is CLUELESS!!!
What a coincidence! Willard should read Isaih 8:10..
We will.
Up north people are also voting Trump.
Cool. Thank you!!!!!
As a child my parents used to take me to the Romney campaign office in Detroit.
Yes, Caitlyn wants to be Teddy’s “Trans ambassador”. LOL.
This one will!
WXYZ Channel 7 Action News endorses Kasich in the primary but only if you’re voting for a Republican. By November, Hillary Clinton might not be around for endorsing.
