Why Donald Trump Is Poised To Win The Nomination And Lose The General Election, In One Poll By Philip Bump March 23

Not to get too far ahead of ourselves, but a new poll from Quinnipiac University suggests that the most likely outcome of this presidential race is the following: Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump face off in the general election, and Hillary Clinton wins. Standard polling caveats apply, not the least of which is that the campaign hasn't started and that polls taken well in advance of an actual election are often not predictive. But reading this poll on this day with these numbers? That's the logical conclusion.

Trump needs to consider suspending his campaign before taking the whole country careening over the abyss. 65% of the national electorate say they have a negative view of him.

The desperation of the GOP reeks. You can smell it on Twitter. They feel the Trump nomination closing in and they are now using “but we need a candidate who can win the general election.”

(Yeb waits in background). Cruz is s sockpuppet for the GOPe. It’s time Freepers wake the hell up.

Cruz can’t beat Trump but he can beat Hillary, which Trump cannot do. Go figure.

Got it. Any poll that shows Trump crash landing must be reflexively viewed as BS.

Ronald Reagan should have quit in March as well against Jimmy Carter.

Jimmy Carter was just too popular to beat

Good thing he did, oh wait

But Hillary has an 85% negative, Trump is already Kicking her Butt.

Ted Cruz has more skeletons in his closet than one of those discount Halloween stores.

Yep Carter was up 11% in the Polls, Reagan had a 47 State Landslide.

Nope. Hillary’s negatives are high (52%) but not as high as Trump’s

Yup, I remember hearing that over and over again, that Reagan could not beat Carter.

A vote for Reagan was a wasted vote.

Do you have a poll to back that up? His are higher than hers according to national polls
