Romney/Ryan Wouldn't be GOP Salvation Against Clinton
Raleigh, N.C. –
PPP's newest national poll finds that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan
wouldn't exactly be the solution to the GOP's Donald Trump problem, with
Romney doing even worse head to head against Hillary Clinton than Trump does.
Clinton (48/41) and Bernie Sanders (48/40) each lead Trump by solid margins,
and have more modest leads over Ted Cruz as well (45/42 for Clinton, 48/41 for
Sanders). Clinton (45/41) and Sanders (44/41) would each trail John Kasich. We
find that a generic Democrat would lead a generic Republican for President
45/43 so when it comes to match ups against Clinton, Cruz essentially is the
generic Republican with Trump being 5 points worse and Kasich being 6 points
better. Much is made of Trump's unpopularity nationally and he certainly is
unpopular- a 29/63 favorability rating- but Cruz isn't much better off at 30/58.
Kasich's 41/39 rating makes him the only candidate in either party on positive
ground.
There's been a lot of talk about Republicans possibly nominating Romney or
Ryan at a contested convention, but both under perform a generic Republican
candidate. Romney is incredibly unpopular nationally now- his 23/65 favorability
rating is even worse than the 29/63 Trump comes in at. Clinton (45/32) and
Sanders (48/31) each lead Romney by double digit margins. Ryan would trail
Clinton 44/39 and Sanders 45/38, numbers not terribly dissimilar to how Trump
polls against each of them. It's not clear Romney or Ryan would do much to save
the party this year.
“Donald Trump doesn’t do very well against Hillary Clinton,” said Dean Debnam,
President of Public Policy Polling. “But it’s not clear the white knights the GOP
dreams of would do any better.”
This new national poll also shows the extent to which Trump could damage
Republican Senate candidates (and presumably those for other offices as well.)
By a 23 point spread voters say they're less likely to vote for the GOP Senate
hopeful in their state if that person supports Trump for President- 46% are less
likely to vote for a candidate who does that, compared to only 23% who are more
likely to vote for one. With independents it's a 32 point spread- 47% less likely,
only 15% more likely to vote for a Senate candidate who backs Trump. Trump
may not be the biggest concern for Republican Senate hopefuls though. Mitch
McConnell has a 16/64 approval rating nationally, including 10/70 with
independents. He's the most unpopular major political figure in the country, and
being associated with him may not be good news for the members of his caucus
seeking reelection across the country this year.
Other notes from the national poll:
-Paul Ryan looks incredibly popular, in comparison with McConnell. 37% of
voters approve of the job he's doing as Speaker to 44% who disapprove. Those
numbers might not be great, but they're certainly good on the curve. The generic
Congressional ballot is currently tied, with Democrats and Republicans each at
43%.
-72% of voters support increasing the minimum wage to at least $10 an hour,
compared to just 15% who think it should stay where it is and 11% who would like
to eliminate it altogether. There's 89% support from Democrats, 72% from
independents, and 53% from Republicans for going up to at least $10 an hour.
-There continues to be broad bipartisan support for background checks on all gun
purchases. 84% of voters are in favor of them to only 10% who are opposed, and
that includes 91% of Democrats, 81% of independents, and 77% of Republicans.
It's hard to think of another more contentious policy issue nationally where
public opinion is actually so firmly on one side.
-67% of voters support the EPA's Clean Power Plan to only 26% who are opposed.
87% of Democrats, as well as 72% of independents, are in favor of it.
-Finally we polled on the very important matter of the Hulk Hogan/Gawker suit.
Middle America doesn't seem to be paying much attention to this one, as 55% of
voters have no opinion. But among those who do take a side it's pretty one sided-
36% go with Hogan to only 9% who stand with Gawker. Like the Presidential
election though, this is another modern conflict where voters aren't too crazy
about either of the choices. Gawker's favorability rating is 6/38, and Hogan
doesn't do a whole lot better at 21/37.
