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.

Even if Trump gets no delegates Cruz remains a distant second.
and there’s plenty of those right here on FR.
You might have to look at your computer upside down to see it.
“BTW, good pic of you and your buddy on your FR page! Beer bellies are still in vogue in Texas Id have to say.”
True to form, a Trumpette shows his inability to grasp fact and detail. Go back and read the verbiage on his page again and report back to us what you learned.
Barack Obama won in 2008, but he did not win by a “landslide.”
....”And then what??? Whats next? “....
Watch and be amazed.

The MSM have spent the last nine months and millions of dollars making the 2016 election about Trump, and making every story about every other candidate about Trump to keep his image up front.
They are not about to dump him now.

I cant believe Nixon won. I dont know anyone who voted for him.
Whatever the blame stream mobs say, we know the truth is the exact opposite
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Noise generated by the establishment. Trying like heck to plant the perception that his momentum has stalled. He’ll lose in Wisconsin by a bit, and still pick up delegates, and this will be heralded as his demise. Until New York, where Cruz will take a whipping the like of which are rarely seen in primaries. Everybody just hang on for a couple of weeks. Remember, you are in the midst of a gigantic propaganda designed not to report, but to create doubt and confusion.This is the last stand of the establishment, and we all knew they wouldn’t go down without a fight. Relax.

Exactly right.....the “show” must go on.
Right, because the GOPe is just gonna hand Teddy the nomination with a bow on top in Cleveland.
has there ever been a time when ALL of the polls were wrong for week after week?
We are heading straight for a Hilary Presidency.
Wisconsin is a microcosm of what’s to come for Trump. He needs about 53% of the remaining delegates to avoid a contested convention. Trump is headed for defeat in more than just Wisconsin. Cruz will probably carry California for example, where Trump needs to clean up.
If Trump doesn’t get a majority on the first ballot then he’s done. He’s not going to be able to 1) keep his delegates from switching to Cruz or others and 2) it’s far more likely that Cruz picks up delegates on the second ballot and on.
In short, Wisconsin is the beginning of the end for Trump. Cruz will most likely be the nominee.
Insiders: Trump has peaked
The majority of Republican insiders say The Donald has hit his ceiling, while gleeful Democrats say hes not going anywhere.

After Wisconsin, Trumpers will begin having their root canals and colonoscopies done on election day.
