Fifty Percent Of American Voters Say They Would Be “Embarrassed†If Donald Trump Were President (Hillary Gets 35%) according to a new Quinnipiac University poll released this morning.

Six in 10 women say they would be “embarrassed†of Trump, compared to only four in 10 men. Forty-seven percent of independents say they would be “embarrassed†by Trump, but 44 percent of Republicans say they would be proud of him.
In the race for the GOP nomination, the poll finds Sen. Ted Cruz gaining on the real estate mogul, with 24 percent support -- his highest in any national poll yet. Sen. Marco Rubio earns 12 percent support and Ben Carson takes 10 percent. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie climbed to 6 percent in the new poll, his highest national support in almost six months.
Cruz’s increase in support is bolstered by tea party supporters, evangelicals and men. The poll also shows Rubio and Carson sinking 5 and 6 points over the last month, respectively.

Then they get to know how we feel.
I suspect that the polls are going to get more accurate when the voting starts...
oh yeah? well the other 50% is embarrassed that Obama is our President so....

The media hates that Trump can go around them to get his message to the people, while at the same helping him achieve that goal. Taking down Hillary and the MSM would be a two-fer with Trump.
Has this question ever been asked in a poll before?
Four-fer if you include the GOPe and the political lobbyists.
Piled highest & deepest : )
Can you imagine the hysterics at ABC if a pollster asked the American people how many of us are embarrassed by the Obama regime?
Bovine scatology......
Best post! Of course I am embarrassed by all those who voted for Clinton and Obama, not once but twice.
50% of the voters voted for owebama... twice...
“Six in 10 women say they would be “embarrassed†of Trump, compared to only four in 10 men.”
Isn’t that almost the exact gender-split of the Democrat party?
Yep, and the CURRENT administration.
