At this rate if Trump wins the general there ought to be some riots and cities burning the first week of November.

Those results are from the people they asked, not the whole country.

They never say “we asked 1000 people in these areas about x, y, and z, and we got these results”.

The pollsters make it look like they asked everyone.

They never say “x percent of the 1000 people we asked...”

1. The polling and statistics here are valid - Frank Newport is one of the best and most honest mathematically (I rarely agree with his politics, but I know him very well). He would not bias his analysis or his sample to slant the results.

2. The conclusions are unimportant. Just as Ross Perot had high unfavorable ratings, since he was not identified with either major party, Trump at this point has similar unfavorable ratings. We are comparing an outsider this year with insiders in the major parties for all previous years, so the difference tells us nothing (positive or negative) about whether Trump is electable.

Trump is just not a likable man. He is childish, petty, amoral and downright mean. He seems to be a very miserable man.

His supporters maintain he is the only GOP candidate that can win. That he can win dark blue states like NY, MA, NJ, MI, WI, CT, etc. With a 60% unfavorable rating, he won’t win those states or light blue states that he needs to win like OH, FL, VA, CO, NV.

Trump will be a disaster for teh GOP if he is nominated.

That’s okay. The pollsters alleged Trump had high unfavorable ratings in the GOP. And now that he appears ready to show one of the strongest primary performances ever, they allege that Trump has turned that around.

I have every confidence that the pollsters will show that Trump has turned around high unfavorable ratings across both parties before his landslide victory in November.

Trump now has 35 to 40% support in the GOP, but high negatives among the Republicans who are not in that 35 or 40%.

Can he win a majority of delegates at this rate? What if the minor candidates drop out and their supporters rally behind one person, say Rubio, and the race continues with Trump at 35%, Cruz at 33, and Rubio at 32. Can Trump get enough delegates that way to be the nominee?

Trump's tactic of undermining his opponents with insults may work in the short run, but if he did get the nomination, would the people now supporting those other candidates forgive him his tactics or refuse to vote for him? In the latter case the Democrat wins easily. Likewise if Trump doesn't get the nomination and refuses to back the nominee, or does like Teddy Roosevelt in 1912 (run as an independent)...the Democrat wins.

Mark Levin’s little site. Who does he support? LOL

Sorry Mark, if Trump doesn’t win the nod, I might think you are correct.

So I will wait it out.

I wonder if the DNC will make use of these quotes?

"If I told the real stories of my experiences with women, often seemingly very happily married and important women, this book would be a guaranteed best-seller..."

"Beautiful, famous, successful, married; I've had them all, secretly, the world's biggest names."

-- Donald "The Bimbo" Trump

Women are gonna love him!

Go Trump!

It actually doesn’t matter . all that matters is how many do like him and will be motivated to get out and vote for him. People want someone to vote for. And Trump’s people are motivated.

already been posted a few times today by various anti-Trump Democrat trolls. my response is the same:

Trump has all the right enemies: the media, the progressives, the students, the professors, the GOP, The Democrat Party, the communists, the marxists, the socialists, the muslims, ISIS, obama, hillary, bernie, NRO, VOX, SLATE, SALON, HuffPo, etc.

It’s just one of the many reasons I love the man so much.

This is why Trump loses in head to heads against the D and Cruz wins.
