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.

I agree that Trump has better favorability among Republican primary voters because of all the open primaries (in which Trump's Chumps can cross over from the American Party, the swamp, or wherever they came from).
