If Donald Trump loses the Republican Presidential nomination and runs as a third-party candidate, he definitely could put a crimp in GOP hopes to reclaim the White House.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 29% of Likely U.S. Voters say they are at least somewhat likely to vote for Trump if he is not chosen as the GOP nominee and runs as a third party candidate.
Worrisome for Republicans is the finding that over a third (36%) of Likely GOP Voters say they are likely to vote for Trump if he’s a third-party candidate, with 18% who are Very Likely to do so.
One-in-three (33%) voters who are not affiliated with either major party also are likely Trump voters, including 16% who say they are Very Likely to vote for him if he runs third-party.
Even 19% of Democrats describe themselves as likely Trump voters, although that includes just nine percent (9%) who say they are Very Likely to vote that way.
National Primary Survey of 1,000 U.S. Likely Voters
Conducted July 28-29, 2015
QUESTIONS:
1* Have you ever voted for an independent candidate not affiliated with either major party?
2* If Donald Trump is not chosen as the Republican presidential nominee and runs as a third party candidate, how likely are you to vote for him next year?
NOTE: Margin of Sampling Error, +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence
