http://www.politico.com/story/2017/02/poll-trump-democrats-elizabeth-warren-235026
There are a couple of things in that Politico piece I find interesting. One is the country's view of Warren, which I find disappointing, because I actually like Warren more than I like most other democrats. It seems a lot of people feel just the opposite.
I also thought this was fascinating:
Eighty-seven percent actually seems low to me. I wouldn't think there are many Clinton voters out there who are liking what they see from Trump.
Thoughts?
Despite the public’s increasing misgivings about Trump’s behavior and tactics in the White House, he still beats Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) in a hypothetical matchup, 42 percent to 36 percent — a fairly impressive margin for a less-than-popular president against the prominent senator.
The poll results — from a survey conducted Feb. 9 and Feb. 10, just days after Warren was silenced by the GOP-controlled Senate for her criticism of now-Attorney General Jeff Sessions — plainly show peril for both parties. Trump, for his part, has used the epithet “Pocahontas” to mock Warren, in a reference to her claims of Native American ancestry during her academic career.

Asked for whom they would vote if the 2020 election were held today, 43 percent say they would likely vote for the Democrat, while only 35 percent say they would support a second Trump term. Twenty-three percent are undecided.
Eighty-seven percent of voters who say they supported Hillary Clinton in last fall’s election would vote for the Democrat, while only 71 percent of Trump voters say they are likely to support him again.
Eighty-seven percent actually seems low to me. I wouldn't think there are many Clinton voters out there who are liking what they see from Trump.
