Probably well over 2/3 for Hillary. Most Trump supporters probably think Pokémon Go players are subhuman.

A lot of (genuine) Trump supporters are also over 60 years old. And last time I checked that wasn't quite the demographic of Pokémon Go.

They won't vote. Most play the game all the time unless they are sleeping.

Since video games are for old people, probably 2/3 for Trump I'd guess.

I know a ton of Trump supporters, and they do seem to have a special hatred for Pokemon Go players. Sad!

Heavily Hillary. Players tend to be younger and millennials absolutely despise Trump.

Most won't. For those that will I'd guess mostly Clinton, with some scattered Johnson support.

Logic:

1. We know Hillary has pretty solid internal polling.
2. The Clinton campaign set up voter registration booths near Poke Stops.
3. QED The Clinton campaign's polling likely suggests Pokémon Go players are a solid Clinton bloc.

Trump will probably come in 3rd among Pokemon Go Players.

Most are probably too young to vote or won't vote then Clinton, Stein and Johnson will get a large piece. Trump will get some but not a lot.

Instinct is disproportionately Asian, which skews Dem.

Same here. I remember hearing a coworker said she unfriended everyone on her Facebook that has posted about playing the game. She's no Trump supporter but her hatred for the game is just too extreme.

Most of the people who were playing the original Game Boy games are now in their 20s and 30s and many are attracted to Pokémon Go for the nostalgia factor. I know a guy in his 30s who found his old Game Boy and Pokemon Red and Blue cartridges and gave them to his 7 year old son so he could play them.

Trump supporters are the sort of people who think Pokémon is pronounced "pokey man."

Also a large portion of them are racist and nationalistic. No way they're gonna play a game based on a media franchise created in Japan.

You mean like your signature, implying voter fraud?

99% of Pokémon Go players I know voted for Sanders in the primaries.

Take from that what you will.

They will go for Hillary, Johnson, Trump, Stein, or write in Bernie. In that order.
