“Trump’s favorable rating among the general electorate is, on average, 30 percent. His unfavorable rating is a sky-high 63 percent. In other words, a lot more people dislike Trump than like him. The American public was more evenly split on Reagan at a comparable point in the 1980 campaign. According to an April 1980 Cambridge Reports survey, 39 percent of Americans had a favorable view of Reagan, and 44 percent had an unfavorable view. Reagan’s net favorability rating was 28 percentage points higher than Trump’s is.”

I don’t know what the actual numbers are, and I am committed to voting for the Republican - whether it’s him or Cruz, unless the GOP invalidates all those out there who have voted for either of them.
That said, I do think there are a significant number of people who would vote for Trump, but won’t say so publicly for fear of being politically incorrect. For that matter, I think there are a fair number of people who probably feel the same way about openly admitting to support for Cruz. Those on the left are not at all shy to say who they support, even if it were Stalin. Curious.
