Trump Has Won More Votes Than Romney Had At This Point in 2012

Published



Donald Trump has yet to win an outright majority in a primary or caucus – though he’s getting closer, pulling in 46 percent of the vote in Nevada. But he’s winning massive numbers of votes.

Mitt Romney won Nevada’s caucus in 2012 with about 50 percent of the vote. He did so by pulling in roughly 16,000 total votes – roughly the same number that second-place finisher Marco Rubio pulled in this year. Donald Trump, by contrast, more than doubled Romney’s total, garnering 34,500 votes.
