FioRINO drops 2 points to 6%.

[Chauncey Uppercrust]

Of course his favourable drops with every network trashing him 24/7, the masses take it all in, so sad that they are so dumb.

[DemforBush]

Cruz at 7%. That’s disheartening.

Wait a minute. I've heard it written numerous times that whenever the networks trash him, his favorables go up.

[randita]

The big unknown is what happens when the marginal candidates start dropping out. Where will their supporters go?

[SamAdams76]

I agree. Cruz has been stuck in single digits for pretty much the entire race so far. He's just not getting any traction outside our small conservative circle.

Right now, I'm not seeing a path to him getting the nomination this year. But he's only 44 years old and he'll have other opportunities. Perhaps a key role in a Trump Administration will increase his appeal with the rest of the American people.

[Bullish]

So according to the MSM Trump should drop out of the race, right? He’s only leading in every poll.

[LongWayHome]

Ted just really never moves up much in the polls.....don’t know if he will ever get any traction at this point.

[basil]

Yes it is. I think his views are the nearest thing to Ronald Reagan that I have seen in years.

[Bullish]

Dumb? Maybe. Ignorant and intellectually lazy? Definitely.

[Karl Spooner]

Maybe if he had an American sounding name it would help. Most people probably think he is an illegal immigrant.

[rrrod]

Very interesting...thanks. The drops in Trumps favorable ratings is, IMO, due to his personal attacks on the other candidates. If he isnt the nominee he has pledged to support that person....

Im not sure I agree with this report’s conclusion concerning the other candidates “rising”.

[Starstruck]

The big unknown is what happens when the marginal candidates start dropping out. Where will their supporters go?

Maybe to a candidate that hasn't been trashing their guy?

[Psalm 144]

It is a personality thing. He is saying the right things, but they come off very tasseled loafer and with a whiff of condescension. That may not be a fair impression, but that is the impression videos give to many.

I like what he says and could vote for him, but he has yet to convince me he can cut enemy throats down to the neck bone and then reach for another.

I don’t want a ballistics expert. I want a gunslinger.

[Karl Spooner]

I don’t want a ballistics expert. I want a gunslinger.

Does Cruz carry? Trump does.

[pieceofthepuzzle]

Don't know what to think about favorability ratings, especially when his favorables change from 56 to 50 (what's the margin of error for that data point?). Just think about how variable Obama’s favorability ratings have been. This seems like a highly variable index from poll to poll. At any rate, it's early, and we'll see what happens as the field contracts over time. There are truly only a few candidates out of this group that I'd have a hard time voting for.

[Psalm 144]

Cruz may carry, but he gives the impression he would hire it done. That is his problem. He seems aloof, effete and haughty whether he is in fact or not.

[CincyRichieRich]

I do not think Cruzites like me answer the phone.

[Kenny]

His favorables are also dropping because some are running ads against him (Club for Growth) and he hasn’t even launched an ad campaign yet.
