Donald Trump's poll numbers are good, political analyst Karl Rove conceded Thursday, but he urged viewers to put the numbers into "a little bit of perspective."
"He has been in the race for six weeks,"..."He has had a good move up, a good bump up, but we've seen this before.
"Look, there will be a lot of movement in this race. It is really still early."
And even though Trump is topping the polls as far as Republicans who would support him, his favorability ratings are suffering, Rove said.

However, pointed out Rove, "30 percent of the Republicans say they definitely will not vote for him," marking the highest percentage of voters who said they would not support a candidate.
"In a June 15 Wall Street Journal/NBC poll, 66 percent said they could not vote for him," said Rove. And when it comes to his honesty, 58 percent of those in the Quinnipiac poll said Trump is not trustworthy, he added.
"Trump has a high floor and a low ceiling," Rove said. "He has a lot of enthusiasm going or some enthusiasm going, but he has got a ceiling."

Where are the moderates going to go?
Yep GOPe---- we're still 'the crazies' after all these years. Out with the old, in with the bold.
LOL.
The ham looks like Rove!
Thank you so much!
Your loyal support is truly and greatly appreciated.
I hope Rove has seen that graphic....LOL.
= :^)
“It will be a viscous counter-attack “
Things will get sticky!
Rove is vindictive and I think he’s already exceeded his level of actual competence.
That's my take. I've used the tag line below off and on since 2011.
Rove’s head is spinning around. He’s going to start chanting Red Rum any minute now. Heeer’es Johnny. :-)
What’s your prediction for him dropping out then?
Good one!
Walker’s a total insider—he even has his WI boy running the RNC!
What’s your prediction for him dropping out then?
Should have been a bit more specific...
When?
IMO, it would probably come after he has come quite close to winning the nomination, tossing everything into chaos.
I don’t think you’re right, but then it is possible.
Moderates. Right. The word they use to flush all principles down the toilet.
The GOPe is absolutely helpless at this point.
****************
I hope you’re right. Very powerful people with abundant resources are working behind the scenes and “convince” others to see it their way. The GOP still has access to an enormous amount of money and knows well how to use it as a political weapon.
If you’ve been watching Boehner and McConnell bully their respective houses recently, you get an idea of how powerful the party apparatus can be I would be very surprised if the party throws in the towel. Again, I would like to be wrong about this and your point about Reagan holds out some hope. But Reagan was a successful governor from a key state. It was hard for the party to resist him. Not so much with Trump. We’ll soon see.
Karl pulled this crap on FoxNews weeks ago. Dead on.
He’s predictable and boring.
He’s as far from independent as possible.
Are they introducing him as the campaign adviser to the (fill in the blank) GOPe campaign. Didn’t think so.
