A new Washington Post/ABC News poll finds that 31% of Americans would support the notion of Donald Trump running as an independent if he doesn’t win the GOP nomination, versus 64% who would oppose it.
“Even more alarming for the GOP, perhaps, is that nine percent of Americans say they would definitely vote for Trump if he did this, and another 14% would consider doing so. That nine percent is enough to wreak havoc on the general election, and that additional 14 percent might prove very tempting to Trump, given his own oft-stated goal of maximizing his leverage (not to mention his obvious fondness for media attention).”
