If they had to vote in the upcoming U.S. Presidential election, about 41% of Saskatchewan residents would check the box for Clinton!
August 19, 2016
Hillary Clinton has a favourable position among Saskatchewan residents, with only 17% saying they would cast their ballot for Trump. Another 16% would vote for an independent candidate while 26% said they are not sure who to pick!
So, Insightrix wants to know- If YOU had to vote in the U.S. election, would you go with Clinton or Trump?
Before deciding, take a look at the adjectives Saskatchewan residents use to describe each candidate…
As said, about 41% of Saskatchewan residents would vote Hillary; this proportion rises to 62% among those who voted Liberal in the last Canadian Federal election and 46% among those who voted NDP. Conversely, support for Trump rises to 32% among those who voted Conservative in the last Federal election compared to only 17% overall.
However, Trump is certainly not winning over many Saskatchewan women as only 7% would choose the Republican candidate compared to 27% of men. Interesting to note is that there are no statistical differences between young and old voters in their support for either candidate.
Further, when asked who they think will be the next President of the United States, a near majority (49%) believe Clinton will prevail, compared to only 25% who think we will see Trump in the White House. Two percent believe an independent candidate will take office and another 24% are not sure.
Finally, 31% of residents believe that, if elected, Clinton would implement policies that are better for Canada. Twelve percent say this about Trump while 11% believe an independent leader would be most beneficial for Canucks! Many (46%) are not sure who would be best for Canada.
