It is a question of who you dislike MORE. If this is the match up in the General, I will hold my nose and vote for Hillary. I dislike Hillary but I DESPISE The Donald. It is a shame it has to be like that, but it is what it is.
That proves nothing.
The poll doesn't measure HOW MUCH politicians are disliked.

Me, too.
Trump could be a smelly hunchback. I'd still support him if I agreed with his positions.
But a lot of people are too stupid to vote on that basis.
They'd rather vote for the "cute one" and then get stabbed in the back.

Talk about being conservative -- he is WAY too far to the right of the electorate to win the general election.
Trump has a much better chance of winning than Cruz.

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.
Well said.
The latest technique of the lying liberal media is to spin things in such a way that it appears that the people they support are winning, and the ones they don't support are losing.
They hope that by doing that enough, people will give up supporting what the lying lib media opposes.
Goebbels and Hitler used the same techniques, as did Lenin and Stalin.

The relevant comparison here is likability ratings, not what year it is.

Too bad.
CNN has pointed out repeatedly that air time has always been available to Cruz and the other candidates, but that they wouldn't take advantage of it.

Exactly.
Listen to him enough times, and he looks and sounds like the guy in high school who always had to be on the student council but that nobody liked.

You appear to be wrong on that. Worst losing margin is trump's, then cruz... and the candidate that is being ignored has the best chance of winning on the republican side.
Mike Huckabee and Ben Carson had incredible favorable numbers. Nobody looked at them unfavorably. How did they do? Nobody voted for them.
Trump may be a vulgar and unpolished speaker - but he has common sense, and is not afraid to try to fix things.
That's just it ... voters want another politically correct pansy that will sit on his/her hands rather than say something that might offend someone. I don't anyone running our country that can't say "Islamic terrorist".
ie, if trump is so unpopular, and cruz or anyone else can't even beat him in the vast majority of the primary races, your point is meaningless about a general election as the other candidates won't get there if the popular vote/who has the most delegates matters most in the end. And of course it shows cruz and kasich even more unpopular than trump in the primary!
This is real simple, I am surprised so many Trump supporters ask this.
Here are some points to consider:
-Virtually no one in the Democratic primary will end up voting for Trump
-Trump doesn't have a majority of votes in the GOP primary.
-Some exit polls of states that Trump won indicate that a MAJORITY of GOP voters in the state say that they strongly don't want Trump to be the nominee and oppose him. Yet Trump won the state with less than 40% of the vote.
-Polling indicates that millions of GOP/GOP-leaning independents say they will refuse to vote for Trump.
-A vast amount of polling indicates that a less divisive man like Kasich does about 18% net swing better than Trump.
-Polling indicates that about 70% of women don't approve of Trump and find him offensive.
-It is easy to win so many states when the vote is fractured between multiple candidates.
