Trump and Cruz Both Less Popular Than Romney

Trump and Cruz Both Less Popular Than Romney

https://politicalwire.com/2016/04/14/trump-and-cruz-both-less-popular-than-romney/

"SNIP.............

A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds that 31% of Americans have a favorable view of Donald Trump while 67% are unfavorable — nearly identical to an early March Post-ABC poll which found he would be the most disliked major-party nominee since at least 1984.

Ted Cruz fares better with 36% favorable and 53% unfavorable among the public at-large; his strongly unfavorable mark is 20 percentage-points below Trump’s level (33% for Cruz vs. 53% for Trump).

Both Trump and Cruz are less popular than Mitt Romney at this point in the 2012 campaign, a year in which the eventual Republican nominee was haunted by weak personal ratings.

(wonderful image that, LOL) but Cruz is absolutely repulsive and Trump is as wacky as they come.

The corpse can win out in such circumstances, IMO.

Is this what we have count on, Trump is even more odious than Hillary?

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/poll-many-view-hillary-clinton-unfavorably-but-more-people-dislike-donald-trump/

While 55 percent of Americans have a "somewhat" or "very" unfavorable impression of the former secretary of state, that's about the same number as those who have a "very unfavorable" opinion of Trump.
