Not just candidate, POLITICIAN, meaning ALL politicians over the past 30 years. This is history making! But lets hear from the Trump fans on how he's going to win that general election! lol
The share of Americans with an unfavorable view of Trump is extraordinary: 68% in the most recent Bloomberg poll, 67% in the CNN/ORC survey, 67% in the ABC/Washington Post poll, 65% from Gallup. The 57% unfavorable rating he received in the most recent CBS/New York Times survey looks mild by comparison. Comparable numbers are difficult to find, particularly over a sustained period. Even during the worst of the Vietnam War, for example, only 38% of Americans in Gallup polls gave an unfavorable rating to President Lyndon B. Johnson, although all public figures and institutions received more favorable rankings in that era. More recently, former Vice President Dick Cheney hit a 60% unfavorable rating during the closing years of the George W. Bush administration. President Clinton’s topped 50% during the crisis over his affair with a White House intern. Newt Gingrich's unpopularity exceeded 60% for a short time during his unsuccessful run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012. President George H.W. Bush's unfavorable level also hit 60% when he went down to defeat in his reelection effort in 1992.
None of them was as broadly unpopular as Trump is.
How could he be the least popular American politician in over 30 years, when he has never held a political office? I wouldn't consider someone a politician until they actually won an election and held a political office. Trump is just a businessman running for a political office at this point.
Dexter thinks he going to sway the 50 Trump supporters on this forum. Knock yourself out ...
BTW, on 4/15/80, Ronald Regan had a 30% favorable rating among Americans. How'd that work out ?
Cool. Find a candidate who was viewed unfavorably by a third of all women, nearly two-thirds of independents, 80 percent of young adults, 85 percent of Hispanics and nearly half of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents. One who was also a three-point deficit to the opposition in polls and in just one month sank to a nearly eleven point deficit. Oh and also one who trailed the polls in every, single swing-state. Get back to us and let us know how that worked out. Wait, I'll save you the time. Its NEVER happened because there has never been such an unpopular candidate in major party history. If it had, that candidate would lose a general election in an epic landslide, just like Trump will if by some miracle he gets the GOP nomination.

You've got some serious Reagan-love if you know his ratings numbers from his campaign. Regardless.....Trump is Trump, not Reagan, and polls from 36 years ago have no bearing on today's political atmosphere.
p.s. Reagan also had horrible rating numbers a year later. They improved in a surge of sympathy and patriotism after he was shot.
At least my threads and posts are based in facts with polls, surveys and past results rather than clips from Green Acres
