We've got an unpopular set of presidential candidates this year - Bernie Sanders is the only candidate in either party with a net-positive favorability rating - but Trump is the most unpopular of all. His favorability rating is 33 percent, as compared with an unfavorable rating of 58 percent, for a net rating of -25 percentage points. By comparison Hillary Clinton, whose favorability ratings are notoriously poor, has a 42 percent favorable rating against a 50 percent unfavorable rating, for a net of -8 points. Those are bad numbers, but nowhere near as bad as Trump's.
This is not just a recent phenomenon; Trump's favorability ratings have been consistently poor. It's true that his favorability numbers improved quite a bit among Republicans once he began running for president. But those gains were almost exactly offset by declines among independents and Democrats. In fact, his overall favorability ratings have been just about unchanged since he began running for president in June.

Like Trump said he hasn’t even started on Hillary yet. And by the way there are several polls showing trump beating Hillary by 4-5 pts.
>>> Unlike Cruz he will use Bills “rapes” and Hillary as the enabler with no qualms
While nothing would please me more than for the true Clinton legacy to be accurately reflected, one must not forget that there are large members of squishy voters (particularly female) who just can’t “handle the truth”. They will engage in cognitive dissonance to not only blot those inconvenient truths from their mind, but will punish Trump for constantly trying to get them to face reality. It is a sad state of affairs at present.
11 out of last 12 polls at RCP have Trump losing to Hilary.
He will not lose to Hillary Clinton. The ghetto beatdown is going to be brutal..In addition there is a 50/50 chance Hillary will be indicted anyway.
This is why we can’t have nice things...
