He cannot win with that kind of support even though FreeRepublic is conservative site.
Around 55% of Freepers will not vote for him ever!
That probably translates to about 30% of the general republican electorate. He cannot win with those numbers, not even close! Just like everyone has been stating, he splits the Republican Party and is the one Republican Candidate guaranteed to hand the Presidency to Hillary!
He is Toast!
It is also early in the poll’s life and I expect his numbers will drop.
Did you see this one?

You might be looking at a different poll than the other freeper.
The poll didn’t ASK if people would “vote for him ever”.
That’s some of the worst “analysis” of non-existent facts I have ever seen.
What in the world would make you believe most would not vote for him “ever”? Fred has negatives as do all candidates but I see none that would make him so reviled by so many. He is not a Rudy and few would say he’s not been a long time consistent conservative. I believe most conservatives really would see a clear and acceptable choice if the Democrat offering was Hillary. And, using your logic, if Fred [who clearly scores highest in the polls here] has no chance, then who CAN be our nominee? If you are more than 20 years old, surely you know that the GOP never has total agreement on a whoever we field in a presidential race. There was certainly not full agreement on GW Bush, but he was elected twice. I could not disagree more with your assessment.
