Contra Rupert Murdoch's assertion about Trump having crossover appeal, Trump is extraordinarily unpopular with independent voters and Democrats. Gallup polling conducted over the past six weeks found Trump with a -27-percentage-point net favorability rating among independent voters, and a -70-point net rating among Democrats; both marks are easily the worst in the GOP field. (Trump also has less-than-spectacular favorable ratings among his fellow Republicans.)

Yet it is Trump that is getting the big numbers in regards to the rallies that other canidates can only dream of. Go figure.
Nate Silver is the leading agent provocateur of the left. And he is sewing disinformation with every breath.
YEAH — RIGHT!!!!
As some of us have commented before, the coming RE-ACTION to the ongoing muslim INVASION of the West could easily push the events in Nazi Germany into the back pages of future history books. Bill Whittle explains WHY TRUMP is EN FUEGO and all of that in this excellent and riveting 9 minute video.
When it starts in the U.S., it will make those activities look like – to borrow a phase – JV squad stuff!
what are they going to do when the polls come out in New York that she’s way ahead of everyone, including the democrats?
My question is, if Trump is so unpopular among 70% of the democrats and so detested by the majority of Republicans, why does he draw such huge crowds wherever he goes? Why was the interest in the GOP debates so huge, and practically nonexistent with the democrats. Something does not add up here.
If a pollster, you are only as good as your last correct prediction.
Right, Mr. Rove?

I can’t help but wonder if these favorable ratings aren’t capturing how the public really feels. There could be a lot of voters who don’t really like Trump but who are planning on voting for him anyway. I don’t think favorable ratings are as big of a deal in this election cycle, but I could be wrong.
Yeah sure there Nate. Everybody knows that !JEB¡ and Rube are rhe most popular and electable republicrat candidates out there!
With that being said, I expect the GOP to annoint !JEB¡ as the nominee via a brokered convention. It’s their party, and they can nominate who they want to. Us stupid voters really habe no say in the matter.
!JEB¡ or hillary, either way the GOP/DNC machine wins
“...Nate Silver is a Meterosexual, leftist Fanboy...”
Perhaps. Regardless, what’s his track record in the polling/prediction game for political campaigns? I hear he’s been fairly accurate in hindsight...
Post video please. I like Whittles vids.
He’s not going after leftists and independents. He’s going after conservative white guys and gals.
Now I want to know the same predictions, but with Ted Cruz running..so I can see the comparison
Yeh Nate just keep pumpin and dumpin. LOL!
Guess that’s why they’re sending out for fresh underwear twice a day at the DNC whenever they look at the internals on how Trump is polling with Blacks, eh, Nate?
LOL. Silver is violating one of his main rules here to bash Trump. He says don’t pay attention to fantasy general election match up polls during primary season.
Praise God for Trump...No, praise Trump for Trump. He’s the only one who can beat Hillary. The ONLY one. You’re a blasphemer! Unbeliever. Nate Silver has not given fealty to Trump the Most High (may the light find the cracks around his eyes).
I think he’s unpopular because he said if he were president, he would call the election based on polls. So no one gets to vote. We have a dictator now. Why would we want another one?
Yeh Nate just keep pumpin and dumpin. LOL!
No worries. Trump has testimonials from Cuomo and Schumer all ready to roll out for the general. I’ll bet they never thought they’d be starring in GOP ads to beat the Hildabeast. LOL.
This election is like no other that I’ve ever seen. Sense when does a primary candidate draw tens of thousands of cheering people, most primary rallies tend to be rather small affairs, more like those of Bush, Rubio and Cruz.
Because of that, I tend to not give as much credence to those trying to forecast what might be based on methods that are more useful to standard campaigns.
