Douglas Schwartz, PhD, Director, Quinnipiac University Poll (203) 582-5201 Rubenstein Associates, Inc. Public Relations Contact: Pat Smith (212) 843-8026 FOR RELEASE: APRIL 20, 2016 TRUMP LEADS, KASICH TOPS CRUZ IN CONNECTICUT GOP RACE, QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY POLL FINDS; WOMEN, BLACKS GIVE CLINTON LEAD AMONG DEMOCRATS Donald Trump is close to the 50 percent mark among Connecticut likely Republican primary voters, while Ohio Gov. John Kasich tops Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas in the race for second place, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. A 66 25 percent lead among black likely Democratic primary voters and a wide margin among women Democrats propel former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to a 51 42 percent lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds. Another 6 percent remain undecided and 18 percent of those who name a candidate say they might change their mind. Likely Republican primary voters give Trump 48 percent, with 28 percent for Kasich and 19 percent for Cruz. Only 5 percent are undecided, but 25 percent of those who name a candidate say they might change their mind before the April 26 primary. By 59 33 percent, Connecticut Republicans want an outsider for president, rather than someone experienced in politics. Among those who want an outsider 75 percent back Trump. Connecticut Republicans have gone for outsider candidates such as Linda McMahon and Tom Foley. They continue that trend with Donald Trump, said Quinnipiac University Poll Director Douglas Schwartz, PhD. The conventional wisdom that Sen. Cruz is too conservative for Connecticut looks true, as he comes in a distant third in the Republican primary. Kasich clearly is outpacing Cruz for second, but running well behind Trump. Secretary Hillary Clinton wins on all the most important issues to voters, except for income inequality. Sen. Bernie Sanders wins on honesty, values, and empathy. But Clinton wins by bigger margins on leadership, electability, and experience. -more-
