Donald Trump's Poll Numbers Collapse as General Election Looms

The bottom is dropping out for Donald Trump.

While Trump was never popular outside of his loyal slice of GOP voters, a raft of new polls show his national position hitting new lows, including with groups that are supposed to form his base.

America's widespread loathing for Trump puts further pressure on Republican delegates to deny him the nomination in July if he falls short of a majority, a move that would set off an ugly civil war but that some in the party believe would be necessary to stave off generational damage.

A collection of recent surveys by Real Clear Politics finds, on average, 30 percent of respondents hold a favorable view of Trump versus 63 percent who hold a negative one. Those numbers are roughly parallel to former President George W. Bush's approval ratings during his final months in office, which set the stage for President Barack Obama's landslide victory.

Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton leads Trump by double digits in at least six national polls in March, even as her own favorability ratings appear weak. Using 2008 as a reference point again, Obama's popular vote margin against Sen. John McCain was just more than 7 percent.

This is like the 30,142nd time the media has announced that “The End is NEAR!” for Trump.

Another reason we need to coalesce around Cruz.

The logic behind this attack is the self-fulfilling prophesy idea known as thought shaping.

But, they’ve subjected Trump to 24/7/365 attacks from all corners.

Our masters are getting results shortly, they believe.

Wlll Bubba, you Texans sure do like spreading lies about the opposition don’t you.
BTW, good pic of you and your buddy on your FR page! Beer bellies are still in vogue in Texas I’d have to say.

Hillary, on the other hand, is gaining WILDLY in popularity and the general consensus of the public is that we forego the election and just crown her our Dear Leader for Life.

No worries, kids. It’s been well-documented around here that 99% of the country hated Reagan and he won in a landslide. And the guy who draws Dilbert assures us that Trump’s Jedi mind tricks will guarantee a big win.

The big question is how many people would vote for him, not whether they personally like him or not.

I think he still has an excellent chance of getting enough votesto get the R nomination, despite of the GOPe machinations and of beating Hillary in the general elections.

But Trump is going to bring back all those Reagan-Democrat voters, from the DEAD.

Being dead the pollsters are missing them
