As the Republican candidates prepare for their next debate Thursday night in North Charleston, South Carolina, Donald Trump will once again be center stage -- as a result of the Fox Business Network's calculations of who has done best in various trial heat polls nationally and in key states.
Despite his poll standing, Trump's image among Republicans is certainly not the most positive of the major candidates, and new calculations show that Trump has by far the worst image of any major Republican candidate among Democrats and independents.
These results are based on Gallup Daily tracking data collected between Dec. 1, 2015, and Jan. 11, 2016. This analysis uses the "first question" party identification groupings, based on Americans' initial answers when asked if they identify as Republicans, independents or Democrats. (For most of our Gallup analyses, we use the "leaned" party groups that include independents who, in response to a second question, say they lean toward one party or the other.)
During the Dec. 1-Jan. 11 time period, Trump's overall image was 33% favorable and 58% unfavorable, for a net favorable rating of -25. Among "pure" Republicans, Trump's net favorable rating was +27 -- sixth out of the nine GOP candidates we are tracking. But the new analysis shows how deeply negative Trump's image is among Americans who don't identify as Republicans, with a net favorable rating of -70 among Democrats and -27 among independents, by far the most negative of any candidate.

It also means, democrats are MOST AFRAID OF A PRESIDENT TRUMP!
Gallop is not known for it’s accurate polling.
They don’t distinguish between citizens and non citizen residents in the US. They also use affirmative action scale tipping in their polling without consideration of American citizenship.
“Logic is tough for Trumpdroolers, I get it.”
Really? That’s all you’ve got?! haha!
The empty can rattles the loudest, I guess. :)
Because you’re that desperate to lose the general election to the Dems and pack the Supreme Court with rabid leftists who will shred the Constitution for generations to come?
Trump brings all the negativity normally directed at the staunchest conservatives while giving us merely moderate, status quo policies. He forces us to campaign harder to win the general election while giving us no reward for it, unless you enjoy trying to explain to little old ladies why they shouldn’t be upset that he spews profanity in his speeches.
