boy they both slam trump in a general poll. sanders by 20 and Hillary by 12.

white male vote will have to be about 80/20 for Trump in order for him to win.

these polls come from the same sources picking the primaries pretty well.

but November is a long ways away.

shoot away with the name calling :)

I look at it this way, Trump has been able to turn everything else in this election on it’s head. Who says his unfavorables are engraved in stone.

It’s not like there are any guarantees where “a woman’s prerogative” is concerned.

If you showed 100 Democrats a photo of Cruz, maybe 5% would have a clue who he is. Thanks for your concern..

No name calling. Reagan was 20 points behind Carter at this point in 1980. So, what does it really mean that fringe lunatic liberals are ahead now? Nothing. The election is a long way off like in 1980. And Trump’s numbers are growing. History speaks.

All the polls said Romney was the best person to take on Obama. Many polls this far out (got back and check) had Romney winning or very competitive in Massachusetts and if memory serves NJ. These polls try to sway opinion rather than capture it

Not necessarily worried about the head to head matchups at the moment. Trump has been essentially assailed from all corners since the get go and the last two months in particular. The media has been manufacturing “Trump has done it now” stories since June 2015. His own party has been attacking him daily and openly talking about a contested convention. Cruz and Kasich have had comparitively little press, good bad or indifferent. Likewise, the media never discusses Hillary’s legal issues or Bernie being an outright Socialist. Once Trump secures the nomination, the party will slowly coalesce. Once the general starts Hillary will not be able to hide from Trump’s daily attacks. Plus, there’s always the off chance that the media cooks these polls to show Trump getting beat and Cruz and Kasich doing well because they are afraid of Trump and only too happy to run against Cruz and Kasich. The media wouldn’t do this would they???

“these polls come from the same sources picking the primaries pretty well.”

They are hypothetical polls the primary polls are not. There are a lot of dynamic factors that always occur before a hypothetical poll scenario actually takes place.

To give you an example, in March 1980 Trump was something like 15 points behind Carter in a hypothetical poll...as we all know Reagan won.

Yea we all believe a crook who should be in jail would beat Trump and a communist would beat Trump worse. Keep dreaming.

And yet we have other polls that come up with this about Republicans: "74% of those polled refuse to support Ted Cruz and a full 80% of those polled refuse to support John Kasich."

No need to call names - just point out chinks that belie your confidence in Cruz as our next redeemer. He got lots of my money early on - I just sent Trump $100 a few minutes ago...
