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.”

>>The only poll numbers that matter are those from Texas. 2018 is coming Ted. Is your resume passport in order?

[Jane Long]

Yep. I’ve always thought that W saying he didn’t like cRuz was more like calling in a favor....to distance from the Bush association/unpopularity.

I appreciate his refusal to be bullied by the GOP.

Ted's ego and ambition override his ability to follow anything close to common sense.

[hoosiermama]

Not too many surprises here

Well, the Right has 33% that are “Loony Right,” which is worse than the Left that only has about 24% who are “Loony Left.”

o.O

I don't mind smoking weed. On occasion...........

Thanks, Kent, for the ping!

Ted can spend his left over campaign millions on rehabilitating his image, instead of spending it toward propping up his machine, for another run at the presidency.

Come ONNNNN, PACS! Go after Fredo in TEXAS, and begin soon! Twenty four months goes by fast.

Save the nation, TEXAS!

TEXANS NeverCRUZ! (Pardon, while I coin my own phrase.)

[nopardons]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....you have THE worst projection complex , I have EVER seen on FR!

Yet another blinkered, blind, deaf, and brain dead Cruzombie posts. LOL

That CRUZ-AIDE has completely melted what little brain matter you had left. Bless your heart.

I appreciate his refusal to be bullied by the GOP.

It's got nothing to do with "bullied by the GOP", it's Ted putting his widdle feelers ahead of the good of the nation. Typical of the guy, though, it just took his obvious selfishness at the convention for a lot of people to see through his BS and recognize that for Ted, everything is about Ted.

If you can't see that, you need a seeing eye dog.

about 24% who are “Loony Left.”

Whisky Tango Foxtrot!!

That's RATaganda. They're 100% Loony Left.

Ted's ego and ambition override his ability to follow anything close to common sense.

Mebbe so. I thought he was above that. File it away for future reference, I guess. Kinda sad, but completely in line with my philosophy of ALL politicians, unfortunately.

[nopardons]

Oh...you're a stupid doper, pothead to boot?

No wonder you have NO working brain cells left.

Mr. Haney can go back to selling junk in Hooterville

[atc23]

Lyin DeleTED LIAR who rides around kneepading Hussein on AF1. Him? Why would his favorability collapse?

UNEXPECTED!

[Lent]

The height of high drama it was. Popcorn was quickly consumed!

[98ZJ USMC]

Heh!!

GFY. Seriously.

Enjoy!

[grania]

I appreciate his refusal to be bullied by the GOP

How is being disgusted with Cruz's not honoring his pledge and then trying to change the rules after the fact "being bullied"? Add to that, folks aren't as dumb and uninformed as many think. That ride in AF1 before these antics didn't help Cruz's image.

[98ZJ USMC]

They're 100% Loony Left.

Yes.

[Saint Athanasius]

I agree with you.

[98ZJ USMC]

Oh...you're a stupid doper, pothead to boot? No wonder you have NO working brain cells left.

hergle dergle derper derp?!?!

LOL!!!!

You're an idiot. Do you have fun with it, though? I mean, that's all that matters, eh?
