FOR RELEASE: DECEMBER 22, 2015
HALF OF U.S. VOTERS EMBARRASSED WITH TRUMP AS PRESIDENT,

QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY NATIONAL POLL FINDS;
TRUMP AT TOP OF GOP PACK, BUT CRUZ CLOSES IN
Six weeks before the Iowa Caucuses open the 2016 presidential race in earnest, Donald Trump
and Sen. Ted Cruz lead the Republican field nationally, but Trump trails either Democratic
candidate, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton or Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, and 50
percent of American voters say they would be embarrassed to have Trump as president,
according to a Quinnipiac University National poll released today.
Trump has 28 percent of the GOP pack, with Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas at 24 percent. Sen.
Marco Rubio of Florida has 12 percent and Dr. Ben Carson has 10 percent, the independent
Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds. No other candidate tops 6 percent with 8
percent undecided. But 58 percent of those who name a candidate might change their mind.
Among Democrats, Clinton tops Sanders 61 30 percent. Former Maryland Gov. Martin
OMalley has 2 percent, with 6 percent undecided and 41 percent who might change their mind.
Among Republicans, 28 percent of voters say they would definitely not support Trump,
with 24 percent who would not back Bush.
Only 23 percent of all voters would be proud to have Trump as president.
If Clinton is elected, 33 percent of all voters would be proud and 35 percent would be
embarrassed.
Half of American voters say theyd be embarrassed to have Donald Trump as their
Commander in Chief and most Americans think he doesnt have a good chance in November, but
there he is still at the top of the Republican heap, said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the
Quinnipiac University Poll. Hillary Clinton tops him. Sen. Bernie Sanders hammers him and
Sen. Ted Cruz is snapping at his heels. Can a candidate that half the American electorate thinks
is an embarrassment win in November?
