Yeah, sure, that's why in polling Trump is pretty much the most unpopular general election candidate since......well, polling began. In fact, I just saw today's latest poll where Trump's disapproval is now at 70% among a general election audience.
To believe this magical thinking that all these people are going to stop viewing Trump as poison and suddenly vote for him is just delusional.
Cruz doesn't poll great against Clinton or Sanders, but he at least keeps it close and gives us a chance. Trump just gets slaughtered. Not just beat, utterly destroyed. We have no chance with Trump at all, none.
This "I don't believe the polls" nonsense is very much like 2012 where people thought they could unskew polls, that they oversampled Democrats and were all wrong, etc, is exactly what this post is. It's a fantasy, someone living in alternate universe where all evidence can simply be ignored because it feels good to do so.
Oh really now.
Well of course, polls that hint at bad news are always wrong. Just ask Vice President Palin, she’ll tell ya!!
I'm pro-Trump. and like most pro-Trump folks, I'm a bit ornery. So when a polling company calls me, I just hang up. I don't go on and on about how much I love my candidate like, say, a Bernie supporter might do.
Bottom line: Don't trust the polls on this issue.
At this point in 1980 Reagan had OVERALL disapproval of 70%. Read the last paragraph:
BTW, if unfavorable ratings determine who wins elections, then Cruz has no chance either. His are at 55% and climbing.

Yeah, I saw some polls today too. Cruz in 3rd place in NY & MD. Read it and weep:

Re: your concerns and comments about Trump’s unfavorability ratings.
Take a look at the numbers from a Gallup chart which came out in November. Carson had the nighest net favorability, Trump the lowest. Look who’s winning now. Favorability does not mean anyone will vote for you, and unfavorability apparently doesn’t mean they won’t.
Favorable Unfavorable Net
Carson 42 21 +21
Fiorina 28 22 +6
Rubio 32 27 +5
Kasich 21 17 +4
Huckabee 32 28 +4
Bush 37 39 -2
Cruz 28 31 -3
Christie 28 38 -10
Trump 34 56 -22
Gallup Tracking 10/19-11/1/15
It is you who are not only delusional, but are spreading propagandist "push polls" which have no ability to predict the future 7 months out.
For anyone to rely on such polls to make their voting decision is ludicrous.
I have a great idea: how about letting people listen to the candidates, use their own judgement, and choose their candidate based on their own common sense?
I know, weird, huh?
You see, they actually don't need your propaganda to help them decide.
Now, if indeed Donald Trump will be so easy to beat, then why are also these anti-Trump Media outlets so intent on convincing voters of that notion? You'd think they would want to de-emphasize such info in order to get the easiest opponent possible for their preferred candidate.
Or, alternately: do these media outlets instead have the best interest of the GOP voter at heart? Are they trying to heroically save GOP voters from making a bad decision?
How altruistic of them to inform us of how easily Hillary will beat Trump!
I've never gotten an answer to my questions from all the "push poll" fanboys. Not once.
It's kinda funny how the Establishment propaganda goals, the Left's propaganda goals, The Media's propganda goals, the GOPe's propaganda goals, and the Cruz campaign's propaganda goals all seem to overlap on this urgent need to inform the GOP electorate of the folly of nominating Donald Trump.
The fact is, they're all scared sh!tless that the DC status quo might actually get shaken to its core, and be held accountable by the American People, and they will engage in the most slanted, sleazy character assassination campaign of the modern era in an all-out effort to stem that tide in any way possible.
And you're part of it...
