YouGov: Paul Ryan More Disliked Among Republicans Than Democrats
hotair.com ^ | October 19, 2016

Posted on 10/20/2016 5:05:59 AM PDT by Helicondelta

According to YouGov’s Will Jordan, Ryan’s net favorable rating within his own party stood at +23 a week or so ago. Then, after the “Access Hollywood” tape was revealed, Ryan told House Republicans that he’ll no longer defend Trump or campaign with him. Trump spent the following week needling Ryan on Twitter and at his rallies for not showing the same support for him as Democratic pols showed for Clinton. That culminated in Trumpers chanting “Paul Ryan sucks” at a rally in Ryan’s home state of Wisconsin a few days ago.

Paul Ryan’s favorable rating today: That’s 40 percent favorable, 45 percent unfavorable among Republicans — five points underwater, a 28-point shift in a week. In a week! His job approval among Republicans is even worse at 36/44.

...

The Republican Speaker of the House is more widely disliked among the Republican base than he is among the Democratic one.

...

What Ryan’s experiencing now in his crumbling popularity on the right is a taste of what Ted Cruz experienced at the convention after he declined to endorse Trump in his speech

...

There’s another complicating factor in the reaction too: Republican voters simply aren’t that troubled by the “Access Hollywood” tape that caused Ryan to kinda sorta cut Trump loose. Just 14 percent told YouGov they were bothered “a lot” by it

Why not? Ryan more of a Democrat than a Republican.

It’s not surprising since Ryan is more of a Democrat than a Republican.

Speaker Paul D. Ryan
TEAM RYAN
P.O. Box 620410
Middleton, WI 53562

Dear Speaker Ryan:

Oct. 5th “TEAM RYAN” campaign letter for House Republicans falls short. No check enclosed.

Your Republican Legislative majority did NOTHING to halt the Obama regime except defer one Supreme Court appointment.

A Republican must be PRESIDENT! Your prideful prejudice against Trump is absurd.

You have done NOTHING to support Mr. Trump’s Presidential campaign. After NOV. 8th you will become irrelevant to either winner. Worse, Clinton will continually be a national tragedy enabled by the likes of you.

You have a moment left. Choose courage.

When Dems like your representative more than you do, time to change your representative.

The numbers too high for me. He is pathetic. . . .probably takes orders from his Democrat wife and her wealthy family.

Brilliant letter. I pick and choose who to give to now. No donations to “the party”.

If Paul Ryan were HALF as conservative as he pretends to be, Donald Trump would NOT have even run for office.

Surprise, surprise. Democrats love the fact that Ryan always gave Obama every thing he wanted and more. Everyone likes Santa.

People with a lot of money like morons who will do what they’re told. The key is to find someone who needs money, preferably in the very near term, hire them to keep their eyes and ears open, and call anytime a decision needs to be made so they can be told how to decide.

Paul Ryan is a classic case. A wannabe with absolutely no idea how to do anything except keep his rear end greased up for his masters next visit.
