Nor is there much sign in national polls of Trump's crossover appeal.

In a recent national poll by Fox News, Trump did slightly worse than Cruz and Rubio in drawing Democratic support (he gets about 9%). In a recent national poll by Quinnipiac, he got 8% of the Democratic vote — virtually the same as Cruz and Rubio.

In most national polls, Trump is doing worse than Cruz and Rubio when pitted against Clinton.

And in a recent Quinnipiac poll in Ohio — the most important Midwest battleground of all — Trump does no better than Cruz or Rubio against Clinton. He does a few points better than they do with Democratic voters, but 10 or 12 points worse than they do with Republican voters.
The polls have found that Donald Trump is highly unpopular among independants and historically unpopular among Democrats. Comparatively speaking he's not even that popular among Republicans (he has net favorable ratings but middling at best when compared to the other GOP candidates).

... you've got to separate the signal from the noise. The signal is that democrats would be perfectly fine with a Clinton candidacy (including Sanders supporters). The democratic contest has actually been pretty cordial... moreso then in 2008 IMO.
