If my party isn’t motivated by Trump being in the WH, then we’re fucked. But, I don’t believe that will happen.

What’s interesting, digging further into this poll (and it’s only one poll, snapshot, trends, blah blah blah all the other disclaimers), is that while they both have negative overall favorability numbers, how they get there is very different.

Trump’s favorability among Republicans is only 65/32. Compared to Clinton who is 83/14 among Democrats. Unfortunately, CNN lumped leaning independents in with each party, so we don’t have numbers for independents and we don’t have favorability numbers across party lines.

I’ve been saying for a while, I doubt a lot of Republicans are going to vote for Hillary Clinton, even with Trump as the nominee. But I could see a significant number of Republicans either undervoting, voting third party, or just staying home completely. It’s going to be a really fucking weird election (as if it hasn’t been already).
