Or let's look at Trump and Cruz's numbers another way. Here are the net favorablity ratings for each candidate via Gallop:

Trump is a disaster waiting to happen.

Trump won Independents in NH< and he’s going to win them in every open primary state.... So, what does that tell you about your likability? If Trump is such a liberal as many want to claim, tell me, why is he the most hated by Democrats?

This sort of argument is nonsense... You think numbers aren’t fluid? You think if it comes down to 1 on 1 Trump V Clinton in 9 months from now, that these numbers are going to be the same? Back whenever it was he announced, he was considered a punchline... he just won NH huge, and is on track to win SC big as well...

You really think Hillary or Bernie can beat Trump because some survey tells you something like this? Then you have ZERO understanding of human nature. You put Trump in the same room as Hillary any day of the week and Hillary is overshadowed every single time. There was only one other player in this race that had the X factor besides Trump, and that was Christie, and he’s out.

Trump negatives, trumps negatives, trumps negatives.. this is like listening to Rubio folks trying to make this argument. They fail to understand just how dynamic Trump is in person and on TV... Based on your chart there, Carson and Cruz should be owning the primary season.... yet, Carson is pretty much done, and Cruz only polls on top in TX and only by about a handful of points.

This is an older poll, but I don’t see it getting much better.

Let’s be honest, Trump gets the “Angry White Folk” vote, but how angry, and for how long?

Will it be enough to win a National election?
Maybe, but I wouldn’t bank on this 100%.

That will remain to be seen.

I am not thrilled about things they way they are, either, but I have to think long term.

Small government, constitutional conservatism is the only way to stop the train wreck.

Big Government Conservatism will not work any better than Big Government Liberalism is now.

Federal Government takes 1/6 of the money now, and borrows what it doesn’t have. that is 1/6 of OUR money that doesn’t create jobs, raises, savings, entrepreneurs, etc.

Trump just doesn’t strike me as a small Government Conservative.

Sorry, not bashing him, it is just how I see things.

I would vote for Trump if he wins the nomination, but I prefer Cruz.

Independents -27. and you believe that? I heard everyone talking about Independents would decide the voting in New Hampshire. Well Trump won the independents and EVERY OTHER DEMOGRAPHIC. Your Google Garbage Sucks.
