Everyone has their favorite candidate but to continue to bash someone who is obviously leading in the delegate race because your candidate isn't - is foolish. Ya all keep dreaming - Cruz does not have a chance. Even if he stays in and there is a contested convention - the Republicans will not make him the Republican nominee.

According to the polls, Kasich has the lowest unfavorability rating of all the POTUS candidates, and Cruz has almost a poor of showing as Trump does -- and of the Democratic candidates, Clinton is viewed much more unfavorably than Sanders. This is why I think that unless something changes, we are once again going to have the majority of U.S. citizens very unhappy with the probable winner.

Favorability/Unfavorability

Trump 35/ 65
Cruz 32/ 53
Kasich 42/ 34

Clinton 40/ 55
Sanders 49/ 42

RealClearPolitics - Election Other - Trump: Favorable/Unfavorable
RealClearPolitics - Election Other - Cruz: Favorable/Unfavorable
John Kasich Favorable Rating - Polls - HuffPost Pollster

Hillary Clinton Favorable Rating - Polls - HuffPost Pollster
Bernie Sanders Favorable Rating - Polls - HuffPost Pollster

(Sorry, but I did not see the Real Clear Politics ratings for Kasich, Clinton, or Sanders, if there are any.)

The people who need to understand this the most are the people who have buried their heads so deep into the sand that they won't hear the message.

I am not voting Republican at all however as an American citizen who loathes everything Donald Trump stands for I will not just here quietly while people praise his horrific behavior.

Default Trump is now the most disliked politician in modern times

No, that would be Obama.

I wonder how many millions are disliking Hillary?

If the media is counting the people they have asked instead of the ones they didn't ask like usual!

Such a B.S. a poll like this.

At a point where he should consolidating support as the clear favorite, he's fading. Those who said he'd make a comically weak nominee are being proven right with each passing say.
Trump is now the most disliked politician in modern times

Really? I guess it depends on what are "Modern Times". Why do people believe this propaganda without even a second thought? Lazy? Deliberate Lies? or is just blind bias?

NO - Trump doesn't have the most unfavorable polling numbers "in Modern Times". I remember another Candidate that had numbers a bit worse - the voters like him, the Political Elites & Media did not.

That prize goes to Ronald Reagan - who had a 70% Unfavorability Rating on April 15, 1980 and a "highly mediocre 34% in National Polling" on the same date.

Washington Post - April 15, 1980

One is a poll by the George Gallup organization published Sunday. Nationally, it showed Anderson collecting 21 percent of the support of registered voters compared with 34 percent for Ronald Reagan, the likely GOP nominee, and 39 percent for President Carter.

The other poll was taken by the Los Angeles Times on March 25, the day of the New York primary. It asked Republican and Democratic voters to record favorable and unfavorable impressions of candidates.

Anderson finished in the poll with a 68 percent favorable rating. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy was second with a 60 percent favorable rating followed by President Carter with 51 percent and Ronald Reagan with 30 percent.


Just as now - the Media (and Political Elite) were pushing John Anderson to get in the race as an Independent or 3rd Party candidate. The main difference between 1980 & 2016 is the blatant Anti-Trump campaign, they were a bit more circumspect back in 1980 and the blatant Media bias and RNC Manipulation. Social Media of today means we know more about what goes on this back rooms.

They were ALL wrong about Ronald Reagan - he was speaking TO and FOR the people who were totally FED-UP with the Debacle of the Carter Administration. The real difference is that Trump has never held any Political Office - he is Business man who is putting his family, his reputation and HIS Money on the line.

Interesting Times -
