Trump's Popularity Nosedives In Critical Stretch
As he inches toward the GOP nomination, Donald Trump is becoming more and more disliked among American voters.
By STEVEN SHEPARD 03/29/16
Donald Trump wasn't wildly popular to begin with. And now he's becoming even more disliked among American voters, creating a significant threat to his chances of winning the Republican presidential nomination. Trump is, by far, the GOP delegate leader — and the only candidate with a realistic shot at winning a majority of delegates before the July convention. But at the same time, nearly two-thirds of Americans view Trump unfavorably — and his image rating has declined since Republican voting began in February.
The danger for Trump is two-fold: His declining popularity is taking a toll on his standing in the 17 states that will hold primaries between now and the end of the process in early June. Losing some of these states — or even winning fewer delegates in proportional states — makes it more difficult for Trump to secure a pre-convention majority of 1,237 delegates.
That’s where Trump’s horrific poll numbers could haunt him again: If Trump misses the threshold to win the nomination outright in bound delegates, it will be more difficult to persuade unbound delegates to put him over the top if they see him as a general election disaster-in-the-making due to his high unfavorability ratings among all voters.
How bad are Trump’s image ratings? The HuffPost Pollster average of recent national polls puts Trump’s favorability at only 31 percent, while 63 percent view him unfavorably.
That’s a notable decline from late January, on the eve of the first votes in the GOP nominating process, when Trump’s average favorability rating was 37 percent, with 57 percent viewing him unfavorably.

Bunk.
Gosh, I guess the people standing in line for hours in WI didn’t get the memo.
“He’s hit his peak”
FU political
This and the lack of a ground game might sink him?
Paul Ryan supporters posting Garbage polls from Politico.
He should just give up. Latest Penn poll has him only at 47%.

Ted Cruz 31.0%
John Kasich 17.8%
Wouldn’t vote 6.5%
It’s looking terrible in PA fish.
I lost count, is this the 19th or 20th time the Cruz-bots have posted articles on the non-existent “nosedive” for Trump this weekend?
must have reached that ceiling again LOL.
I have to be fair to both sides. I didn’t see trump doing better than cruz in the generals and called it out.
I don’t see ONE SINGLE poll since his abortion comments that show him being hurt in the primary.
whatever happened to numbers backing up a story.
he said the picture retweet was a mistake and the country is very forgiving. he will be fine.
Prediction # 3,000,000,041.
The Paul Ryan supporters do not have anything BUT bogus polls and attack articles. Their proxy candidate is doing badly and cannot win votes.
probably more, but it does make them feel warm and fuzzy reading such propaganda and repeated lies.
I would have thought after SC they would have learned , then FL , but no cruz looks to do well in WI and no other state and it is Trump failing LOL
It’s all over for Trump. Politico, HuffPost, WashCompost, the GOPee et al, all agree.
