..."I wanted to see how Trump's unfavorable played out in the context of previous elections, so I went back to look at the unfavorable ratings of the major-party candidates from 1992 through the current election. The bottom line is that Trump now has a higher unfavorable rating than any candidate at any time during all of these previous election cycles, and that conclusion takes into account the fact that unfavorable ratings tend to rise in the heat of a general election campaign as the barbs, negative ads and heightened partisanship are taken to their highest levels. Gallup routinely reports favorable ratings based on national adults, but some of the favorable ratings in the final months of an election year that I discuss below are based on registered voters."...
I’ll take unfavorable and winning over favorable and sing. The good news is Hillary has about the same unfavorables. People are tired of nice guy loser like Romney. And Cruz’s problem is he is mean and nasty and losing in the polls.
Based on who took the poll, the wording of the poll and where the sampling took place.
At this point, what can we tell regarding real from manipulated from pollsters Trump refused to pay?
Trump wins...get over it!
Oh, OK.
Another worthless poll from the MSM telling me whom to vote for.
*YAWN*9
For years people have been talking here at FR about how Hillary would never be president because her unfavorable numbers were so high.
Kinda funny how conservatives here are managing to negate that advantage.
Trump is going to win more states than W did.
I think I know Ted Cruz ,Heck I think I know Trump and Hillary too, but they could all be UFOs

I took a poll at work. The person that most want leading the company? Our boss. The person with the highest unfavorable rating? Also, our boss.
Not really done, but you get the idea.
There are bully lovers and bully haters. There are not so many bully neutral people.
They know Trump is about to win big time. This article is pathetic.
Man...,the ESTABLISHMENT MEDIA RATS are desperate!!!
You know what I like about like about you CW?
You are a happy warrior
I think we hold elections only to see how accurate the opinion polls are. ;-)
When Bush was running for re-election in 2004, his highest unfavorable was 47%, while John Kerry's highest was 45%.
Clinton's unfavorable ratings are already higher than Bush's ever were while he was running for office.
What happens if both parties nominate unelectable candidates?
Can’t imagine why. What a mystery.
You are of course free to print junk. But just the SLIGHTEST attempt at honesty would be nice.
It’s like the true but utterly misleading and irrelevant claim that “5% of the US population controls 50% of the wealth,” or similar “facts” that really are lies.
Fact: measuring a show business celebrity’s “unfavorables” as opposed to an actual politician’s is just stupid. Would you think because Richard Petty has “high unfavorables” he isn’t genuinely loved by all of NASCAR? Did JR Ewing have “unfavorables”? Yeah, all the way to the highest ratings. How about “The Undertaker” in WWF? People would boo-—because it was part of the show. No one HATES or actually had a low opinion of Petty, JR, or the Undertaker. They were playing a character.
As long as you, the NRO statisticians, the National Review bloggers continue to cite this nonsense in light of Trump’s often mind boggling poll numbers you and they will continue to miss reality. Fine with me. You can miss it right up to Trump’s inauguration. But you really should do something about that hate.
Did they poll any of the TEN MILLION People who have gone to Trump’s events?

Problem I see today is you can’t trust any of the polls. The media does most of them for their purpose.
