Not exactly. Most polls have him getting beaten by Clinton and even worse by Sanders in the general election. And Clinton has more primary votes than anyone (Trump included). He's done well at beating a group of largely dull Republicans, but the general election is a very different ball game and that's why Republicans tried very hard to deny him the nomination, because most polling data shows he would lose and lose badly in a general election. |
Polls? The entire political spectrum of the country as well as the almost all media said his campaign wouldnt last for 2 months, when he entered the race in june last year. As for polls, every politician he ever went up against tanked in polls after Trump attacked them, starting from Rand to Bush, Rubio and eventually even Cruz and Kasich. There was a recent poll which showed Trump above Hillary and he barely started on her, and he has way more ammunation on her than he had on any other presidental candidate.
As for votes, Hilary has the voters split between 2 people, her and Bernie. Trump has over 8 other candidates splitting the vote and he's still quite close to Clinton. But if overall quantity of votes is what you care, the ''dull'' Republicans have over 3 million more votes than democrats in this election
