Poll: Trump Would Lose A Three-Way Race If A Strong Third-Party Candidate Jumps In

Polls two years before the election are worthless. And polls two days before the election apparently aren’t a whole lot better.

Rasmussen yeah, but when is the last time a third party got 29% of the vote?
Not in my lifetime(and I am pretty old). Not even Ross Perot came close.

[dead]

Here’s Chris Christie, who’s turned surprisingly hostile to the White House lately. Should we, er, make anything of the fact that he hasn’t ruled out another presidential run next year?

LOL! I actually know people in Chris Christie's family. He wouldn't win an election if only they voted.

[HotHunt]

Left-leaning Full-of-HotAir twisting themselves into a pretzel to try and explain how Trump could lose with a 3rd party candidate running.

But no Trump supporter would fall for Schultz who is not exactly, as he admits publicly, the smartest bulb in the box.

Schultz has stumbled badly in his executive decisions before he stepped down from Starbucks leadership and since in an interview where he basically said "America exists for [illegal] immigrants, not Americans". With that kind of negative position, I don't think he will go far in the race.

It seems that some “concerned” posters like to spew “The Hill” of trash clippings here at FR, while other equally “concerned” posters have a similar affection for the vile pig “Allahpundit” who hates the President with every fiber of his being.

[Junk Silver]

These polls need to be taken seriously. President Hillary Clinton herself said so just the other day!

[ncalburt]

Please give it a rest .
Peddling the Twisted lies from a deranged Never Trump Blogger and Dying Blog . The fraud is too chicken to use his / her own name .

[MNDude]

And he would have a 90% chance of losing if HRC runs again, right?

[fuzzylogic]

There’s no plausible path for Donald Trump to become POTUS.

....oh wait.....

[lodi90]

As a former CEO of a iconic corporation like Starbucks Schultz is a lot more than a joke candidate Evan McMuffin. And he got 21% of the vote in Utah. Schultz might just be able to win/throw the race to the Dems in Trump hating locales like Utah and Wisconsin.

[IrishBrigade]

‘The obvious problem for Scott Rasmussen in polling this was how best to measure support for someone like Schultz.’

the obvious problem for Rasmussen is that we are still two years away from the election...

Rasmussen yeah, but when is the last time a third party got 29% of the vote?
Not in my lifetime(and I am pretty old). Not even Ross Perot came close.

When was the last time a political party aided and abetted the invalidation of a Presidential election they won? We are in uncharted political waters at this point. Nothing would surprise me.

Hey Allahpundit, how is President Giuliani doing these days?

MARCH 7, 2007
Giuliani Solidifies Lead in Republican Nomination Poll
Clinton still leads among Democrats

PRINCETON, NJ — Rudy Giuliani is cementing himself as the early front-runner for the 2008 Republican nomination, while Hillary Rodham Clinton maintains that status among Democrats. This is according to the latest USA Today/Gallup presidential nomination preference poll of rank-and-file Republicans and Democrats. Giuliani's emergence is notable because the early Republican front-runner has won that party's nomination in each election since 1972

According to the March 2-4 poll, 44% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents say they prefer Giuliani, the former New York City mayor, to be the party's 2008 presidential nominee. Arizona Sen. John McCain is second with 20%

‘Why would it hurt Trump more than whoever the Democrat candidate will be?’

logically, it wouldn’t...which is why the Dems are in such a snit about Schultz...note how he’s now a villain for having made a lot of money...

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

Why are all your messengers such stupid little queers? If it’s not Allah it’s Ben Shapiro with you.

[lodi90]

Democratpundit is a useless gaslighting dirt bag. I see his name and immediately take anything written with a grain of salt.

[SmokingJoe]

No third party candidate is winning 29%. You can take it to the bank.

You may want to look at this poll from March 2007 (about a year out to the primaries just like now). Giuliani was far ahead of anyone with 40%, which was twice as much as the second person. How many states did he win in 2008?

And so it begins. All the ways Trump will lose in 2020.
