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.
(Sorry, but I did not see the Real Clear Politics ratings for Kasich, Clinton, or Sanders, if there are any.)
One thing that should be noted is that with both Hillary and Trump virtually every person asked has formed an opinion. Only about 5% of those asked did not commit to either favorable or unfavorable with those choices. Both Clinton and Trump have well established brand names. Their numbers are not likely to change that much because they're too well known and voters opinions of them are well established.
Ted Cruz is the least well known of the three. Fifteen percent didn't have an opinion of Cruz, meaning he has more of an opportunity to change his numbers, for better or worse. My guess is that if he is nominated it will be for the worse, because he would be the most stridently conservative candidate of probably nearly 100 years, and I doubt that fact or his personality would wear that well.
But as Lindsey Graham said, it's like choosing between poison or a bullet.
Let's not get carried away. It would take a miracle to make Palin look like a genius, although she does actually have more experience governing than Trump, being an experienced mayor and half-term governor and all.
I honestly think she would whip Trump soundly in a debate. That's how willfully clueless he is.
That means she would whip all of the other hapless GOP candidates in a debate as Trump won them all.
No, not unless you believe Mr. Trump, who in turn relies on Drudge's online survey after each debate (seriously. . . he has said so many times how he judges who won each debate).
Pundit/expert/journalist types have picked Cruz or Marco most of the time, but you will surely dismiss them as "MSM".
Everyone's gonna see what they want to see, so roughly 70% will say Hillary won the debates, and 30% would say Mr. Trump did. No matter what. 70% being the number of the registered general electorate who say they would "definitely not vote" for Mr. Trump.

Thats exactly what he believes. Polls where internet trolls can sit there and vote for Trump a thousand times, as he probably does.
trump is anti illegal immigration- and pro border security, and the media hates it.
trump is anti globalism and bad trade deals, and the media hates it.
trump is pro small business and job creation, and the media hates it.
trump is a true conservative by the old definition (non interventionist) and the media hates it.
trump is anti NATO, and wasted government spending, and the media hates it.
trump will end obamacare and open up drug competition, and the media hates it.
Trump is exactly what conservatives and Republicans have said they wanted.
Now that it's there for them, a lot of them are freaking out.

This is why the GOP establishment is scared because they know they cannot run this man in a general election because it will be an all time disaster. I mean he's in danger of putting several GOP states in play come November
