Looking at the question, I don't think the "unfavorable" means people won't vote for Mr. Trump. Also, judging by his crowds, the ratings boost whenever he's on TV and the popularity of Apprentice and of his books, I just can't imagine he's at 61% unfavorable.
I'll stand by my suspicion that there are a lot of people who have an "unfavorable" view of Mr. Trump as a person but will vote for him. A better question would be "who has the leadership skills to bring the US through a crisis" or something to that effect. A question such as that would better reflect those who are apt to vote for Mr. Trump.
You really think Trump's going to do poorly? We must live in different universes.
I spend more time following conservative twitter than I do here. Don't know if it is a different universe but it is a certainly a different environment with a different point of view.
I see it kind of like Sarah Palin. If the only place you went and talked about her was here, then you would think she was the number 1 candidate.
The people that I know we're not that sold on her. FR is kind of like an echo chamber.
I will vote for Trump if he is the Republican candidate but Ted Cruz is the one I really really like!
