MA-Emerson College: Dems tied, Trump 50%

[JMT]

Trump is really good here in Massachusetts, I seriously think he could win here in November a lot of his support is Catholic Democrats who are sick and tired of Washington

You think Trump could win the general in MA? LOL. Not happening, our own former Governor (Romney) couldn't crack 40% just four years ago. To think Trump could win the general here in a deep blue state (at the presidential level, at least) isn't even realistic. I imagine it'll be a little closer than 2012, but not by much.

If Trump comes anywhere near winning MA in the general he'll have this election in the bag. I really can't see this happening.

Wow... and No.

Sounds like you need to get out of the house more often.

[Ebsy]

I'll be interested to see if the machine can deliver Massachusetts for Clinton.

[Phony Moderate]

MA would probably be the state with more "TRUMP Democrats" than any other.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

As a Masshole, I can confirm that Trump's (horrible, nonsensical, upsetting, faith-in-humanity-shaking) Catholic appeal is real, although not that real.

[Landslide Lyndon]

TRUMP will sweep the Northeast.

[Sir Mohamed]

Yes, MA is going to be the Trumpster's strongest state. I think even better than NY (if he is still in the race when the race comes to the Empire State).

Ted Cruz is the only candidate in either party with negative favorability (-27) among likely
primary voters in their own party. Just 33% view him favorably, while 60% have an
unfavorable view of the Texas senator. Cruz is also seen as the candidate who has been
least honest about his own record and that of his Republican rivals; 44% say he is the least
honest

Sanders has a significant edge over Clinton with younger voters, although not by
the same large margins seen elsewhere. Among the 18-34 age group, he has a 24-point
advantage (59% to 35%).

Only in MA? As far as I know Cruz has the least favorable rating in some polls after Carson. But hard to imagine since he hasn't picked up a single senate endorsement.

[HillOfANight]

The Carson dropped out and Rubio photoshop really taking a toll on him :/

If Trump can get over 50% of the vote here he will get all 42 delegate, just like South Carolina.

No, unfortunately it's close to impossible to get WTA in the MA primary. Very low threshold too, at 5%.

[Likely Voter]

MA may become the biggest battleground state for Super Tuesday on the Dem side.

I think I read a tweet wrong about this, my bad.

Looks like Pope Francis can't stump the Trump even in the most catholic states.

Republican Catholics are his best group.

[President Johnson]

This is YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: American Christians are filthy casuals.

Well, yeah. Especially northeastern Catholics.

[ag]

BUT ISN'T TRUMP'S MAX SUPPOSED TO BE 35%???

Well, a Republican in MA is a pretty selected sample.

[Adam Griffin]

Boston is one of the most racist places in the country. The whites vote Democratic but a candidate like Trump is a perfect fit in a general election, even for many of those. Something something Irish intolerance. Not sure what percentage of primary voters will pull a Republican ballot here, but if it's anything like what we'd expect in a general election, then the core of the GOP here is probably exactly the type that loves it some Trump (and I bet there'll be plenty of Dems crossing over to vote for Trump because they resonate well with him, too).

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I think there might to some extent be an Irish/Italian divide among Massachusetts Catholics on Trump. This is entirely anecdotal, but nobody in my Italian Catholic extended family, which includes a diversity of political opinion in general, can stand him.

Interesting. In your absence, I mentioned that mine does, but it suffers from a severe gender divide. Of course New York =/= Boston, but Philly Italians I know seem to be slowly gravitating to him.

My family's actually ancestrally Springfield-based, though nowadays mostly in Worcester County or on Cape Cod. Sensibilities between Greater Boston People and Western Mass People, regardless of ethnic or religious group, are different enough that even after a generation or so of moving around that might still make a difference.
