Attacks On Trump Didn't Slow Him Down In The Primaries. America's Another Story
By David Lauter Last night, after his triumphs in more GOP primaries, Donald Trump reveled in the ineffectiveness of the attacks against him.
“I don’t think I’ve ever had so many horrible, horrible things said about me in one week … but that’s OK,” Trump said in his news conference from his Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter, Fla. “I want to thank the special interests and the lobbyists, because they obviously did something to drive these numbers.”
There's no question that he's right about the primaries -- nothing anyone has thrown at Trump has shaken the support of his ardent backers, who make up about four-in-10 Republican voters.
But get outside the GOP primaries and the picture looks very different. Trump's image with the wider public is extremely negative and getting worse.
I want to thank the special interests and the lobbyists, because they obviously did something to drive these numbers.
The latest data comes from an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll released today. It finds that just 25% of all voters have a positive opinion of Trump, while 64% see him negatively. His image was bad a month ago; it's worse now.

That’s ok media and talking heads and the rest of this $hit faced government, your making people wake up out there and support Trump, so bring er’ on, we have millions that are backing Trump, give us some more!!!
GO.TRUMP.GO!!! ALL THE WAY TO THE OVAL OFFICE!!!
Sorry if the news about your Dear Leader is not as you expected.
I think it's something beyond that. Drawing on my own experience ( ahem ) I think people have decided that there's a massive campaign underfoot to dissuade them from voting for Trump ( duh! ) and are hence at this point steeled and determined to vote for him all the way - NO MATTER WHAT!
Funny how false accusations of being a Nazi, a fascist, a KKK supporter, a fraud, a phony, a con man, etc can take a toll on a man's reputation. I guess some of us should have considered the consequences of playing with matches before they started lighting them.
Come on now! Reporting that would have been RACIST!
Lying polls. Go Trump !
That’s still about 36% below Cruz’s negative rating.
I’m still LOL’ing at the “tdsnightshift” keyword.
It ain’t mine but dang, it’s true.
Right. Just ‘oh more of the anti Trump b.s.’ and people tune it out.
Plus, people can VOTE for someone they may think is an ass personally. Cruz is a jackass and I’d love him on the Supreme Court. Trump is a jerk and I’d like him being a jerk for the U.S.
Hillary is a scheming lesbian witch. She unlikable and a terrible leader (look at her failure SoS gig).
The ‘negatives’ is a silly poll question.
Didn’t you see the elite discussion and teh one guy said he was in charge of the polls [with a smirk!]
bump
Nice you know you are pulling numbers to of your hat to defend The Dear Leader Plus provide a cite.
Yeah, NBC/WSJ has become America’s Baghdad Bob.
