Donald Trump has not won a majority of the vote in any state he's won. Ted Cruz has done it twice, in Wyoming and Utah.
Trump's enormous unpopularity with the majority of voters is a telling indicator that he simply cannot win a general election. With his constant attacks on women, whether they be Megyn Kelly, Carly Fiorina, or Heidi Cruz, Trump's paltry appeal among women cripples him even further.
As expert mathematician Nate Silver pointed out on Friday, if women sour on Trump, the results of his efforts in the general election would look like this:
For all of Trump's talk of winning; he only has won consistently when he was facing a plethora of candidates. In one on one matchups with Ted Cruz or Hillary Clinton, polls show he loses.
Silver also offered a projection of how one-sided a prospective Hillary Clinton-Trump matchup would be, asserting Clinton would win 374 electoral votes and Trump would win 164.

IGNORE those record crowds and stadiums full of people!
Trump has no support!
The article points out the fact that Trump does not have majority support. His unfavorable are almost at70% among women. No way does he win a general election.
Ooooh boy.
That’s almost as bizarre as the rat comment.
So Trump can leverage a minority position and win where Cruz cannot?
You feel comfortable repeating a single liberial’s recollection of a debate that no one else recalls?
Link to the recording or video or find at least 3 people who don’t know each other that remembers the same thing.
Remember those days when Freepers were insisting the Romney vs Obama polls were all wrong?
These are caucuses, not primaries.
Majority votes in primary states has no correlation to how the public will vote in the general election.
The author is delusional and hungover.
It’s not surprising that the front runner should receive fewer than 50% of the vote in a 3, 4, 5 way race. Whenever a candidate drops out, his vote is split proportionally between those who are left. So I would expect Trump support to grow proportionally higher as other candidates drop out.
A recent Reuters poll showed Trump at over 50%, and that is with three others still in the race.
Really? You had to go back to a college debate? LOL!
How about James Webb, though he’s Democrat?
This is leftist push-polling garbage.
Online polls are not worth publishing.
LOL....your comment is even funnier.
Still believe Cruz is the best choice, seems unlikely to have any rational debate on it here. But for me, I’m going fishing... life is good.
Every poll taken using that demographic shows the same thing. Trump will not do well in a general election. He has the highest unfavorables of any Presidential candidate in history.
Yes, nominate Cruz for the President of LDS.
Staging conflict amongst us and "seconding" those that come from outside makes you stand out like a sore thumb.
Good for you! Hope you catch your biggest fish EVER!
You seem to think Cruz can beat Hillary. How?
Yes he would help Trump too.
