Ted Cruz Favorability Rating Collapse Confirmed in National and Ohio Post-RNC Convention Polls

Ted Cruz’s failure to endorse rival Donald Trump for president at last week’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio has apparently caused his favorability rating among GOP voters to collapse, according to a national survey and an Ohio poll.

An NBC News/Survey Monkey nationwide poll released Tuesday and a PPP survey of Ohio Republicans released Monday confirms the shocking collapse in Cruz’ favorability rating among Republican voters following the convention seen in a CNN/ORC poll released Monday.

CNN/ORC:

“Cruz’s move, however, appears to have backfired. While 60% of Republican voters had a positive impression of the former presidential candidate before the convention, just 33% have one now.”

NBC News/Survey Monkey:

“Ted Cruz, who scored a strong round of boos when he declined to endorse Trump in his speech to the RNC, was not viewed kindly by Republicans voters. Though Cruz finished second in the GOP primary race, just 28 percent of members of his own party now view him favorably; 68 percent now view him unfavorably. Clearly, his performance at the GOP convention was not received well by his party.”

PPP Ohio:

“The biggest loser from the convention is Ted Cruz though. He has an 18/65 favorability rating with Ohio voters, making him by far and away the least popular figure in our poll. Even among Republicans he’s at just 23/61. We asked GOP voters who they would support in a hypothetical primary contest between Trump and Cruz, and Trump wins out 61-19.”

WHOOOOO HOOOO!

What an incoherent sycophant for Cruz. A living, breathing face palm, that one.

We are going to have to be war room ready to ground game against this poseur, in Texas. His rubes run the Texas Republican party and the moment we see a PAC raised against him, we need to fall in and show up and help with the lifting this time.

TRUMP supporters, all over the country, failed to rise soon enough or even show up for their precinct meetings, county conventions and we got slammed with Cruz delegates who blocked Trump supporters, because they had majority rule. We can not sit out this stuff any more.

Thanks, jpsb!

I am glad you are voting your conscience, and voting for Trump. You are a man of integrity, to “vote your conscience.”

[Saint Athanasius]

I’m afraid the fix is in. She rigged the DNC, what is stopping her from rigging the General?

[miss marmelstein]

We’ve got another one, Mark!

Bringing up the ole New York values trick which got Cruz to the White House!

[mkjessup]

Do you two ('Theo' and 'Saint Shows-Up-Every-Six-Years') have anything useful to contribute, or are you just coming back to annoy and disrupt this pro-Trump website?

IMHO, anti-Trumpers can get lost. We’re beyond rehashing the Cruz failure. If the sore losers can’t get past it, they’re absolutely no good for the cause. A vote for anyone but Trump is a betrayal to America and to every principle we hold dear. If Hillary is elected, we’re done for generations. The liberal activist judges she appoints will be with us for a very long time and will kill off what’s left of our Constitution. If you can’t see that or refuse to see it, you’re an idiot. Has nothing whatsoever to do with Cruz. Forget Cruz. He’s no longer a factor in this race other than negative. If he doesn’t endorse Trump he’ll deserve all the grief we can give him.

Thank you, Mark.

I can’t believe people are still pushing this New York values crap. Cruz is a nasty man on many levels but his continual shots at my town - a guy who took money from some of us!! - was one of the reasons I turned against him totally.

You’re more than welcome Miss M, I was just getting warmed up, see my #289 ;)

[miss marmelstein]

I’ll check!

[miss marmelstein]

Oh, yes, I enjoyed post 289.

Actually, the Constitution did provide for the recall of Senators inasmuch as they were subject to the will of the State Legislatures.

The lethal 17th Amendment changed our nation radically.

If the Republican establishment had won out this primary season, you could be correct. The more you look at the last 2 presidential elections, it most likely appears the Republican establishment put up the fall guys to go up against 0bama.

While the establishment lost out this election and the people got their candidate, we all have to work to help Trump because you know, behind the scenes the Republican establishment will do what they can to put Hillary in.

It will be much harder for them and we the people need to do our part so it makes them and Hillary harder to rig this election. Join us because our children and children's children count on it if we are to remain a free country. Think about it.

Shut up, jerk. I am AFFIRMING voting for Trump.

If I’m not doing so as flamboyantly as you’d like, then that’s your problem.

[Theo]

I affirmed voting for Trump, and somehow I’m the bad guy? Come on.

[SaveFerris]

long overdue

[SaveFerris]

The stupid - it burns.

I’d say unbelievable but I’m not surprised.

Especially after somebody says “Constitution be damned” while trying to elect the senator from Canada. Stunning hypocrisy.

Never held a private sector job, graduated from Harvard, constitutional scholar, lawyer, junior senator, foreign born, hides his real name, hid his nationality during his senate run, repeatedly failed to vote as senator, and immediately began seeking the office of president once elected. He is also the anointed one.

[SaveFerris]

We won’t miss him either. I walked away from him a few months ago. Seems my instincts were correct. But I’ll say he surprised even me with some of the nonsense. Wow.

[mkjessup]

Shut up, jerk.

You just waltz your widdle precious snowflake ass over here and make me 'shut up' you snide little twerp.

I am AFFIRMING voting for Trump.

So you say as you continue to carry the torch for sCruz, don't say you're not, your past posts speak for themselves.

If I’m not doing so as flamboyantly as you’d like, then that’s your problem.

I doubt the word 'flamboyant' has ever been in your vocabulary, sonny.

Now you can pretend to ignore all my posts after seeing the 's' word, LOL
