“In extensive polling by the Marquette University Law School, 25% view him positively and 64% view him negatively, for a “net favorability” — in his own party — of “minus 39”
That looks about the same as the national statistics which have him viewed negatively at 60%.
Exactly what do they dislike about Trump? Is it his hair?
It’s not just the “establishment” that dislikes Trump. Lots of rank and file GOP voters do too.
And, since there’s a good chance he’s the candidate, the establishment should stop the attacks unless they prefer Hillary. Even if Cruz ends up the candidate it won’t hurt to have supported Trump for the last few months of the primaries.
They like the Goldmanchurian Candidate even less.
No that is the Establishment. Trump is doing poorly in ares where average income is $100,000 or higher. People who currently greatly profit from an existing system fear change. Trump represents change.
Yes so many voters dislike Trump that he is running a big lead in the primary that cannot be overtaken. What a shame. :-)
Hi reaganaut1,
I’m curious to know if Scott Walker has tendered support for anyone. With his perpetual election success in Wisconsin, I’d think it would have some value there. Has he intentionally stayed away from endorsing?

Many more “rank and file GOP voters” like him more than Cruz or he couldn’t have won twice the number of states as Cruz. Cruz might win Wisconsin though. I am certain establishment Scott Walker will endorse him in the coming days and Mitt Romney will bombard the state with robo calls telling voters that Trump is really Attila the Hun reincarnated. Finally the establishment has one of their own they think can beat Trump. So no more pretending that Cruz is an “outsider” which was always a bad joke.
What do you think “rank and file” GOP voters are?
Gilbert is a hack and the Marquette poll is bought and paid for by the left.
Mark Belling (occasional fill-in for Rush) on WISN is on a perpetual tirade against Trump.
He has/had a strong preference for the Memorizer Bunny; now he’s a Cruz fan.
I would never have thought him to that far “in the tank” for the GOPe.
No matter how many anti-Trump articles you push out, Cruz is never gonna win the nomination outright. You can stick that in your liberal pipe and smoke it. Jeez, its like I am on a DU forum here these days.
Even more can’t stand Ted Cruz.
Thanks for the post, I doubt I would have seen this article anywhere else. I don’t know Wisconsin at all and this was very interesting. I recommend reading the full article at the Journal-Sentinel website.
In the so-called "open primaries," Trump scrapes out wins occasionally but never more than 50%.
RINO GOP led states like to keep their primaries open, otherwise they lose without the liberal's crossing over to vote for them!
Many states where closed primaries rule, RINOs continuously try to pressure voters into "opening" them up to all voters.
Just as in liberal run Democrat cities, they like to hold non-affiliated elections so voters don't get to see who actually supports all liberal causes, instead of supporting the people.
I live in the WOW county area and am active in an article 5 group. Most of these people are well informed but they are still emotionally attached to the GOP in general which makes them go along with the GOPe. They still watch faux news, but they are also aware of the concept of the uni-party and oligarchy. I think that they still have some cognitive dissonance and a touch of Stockholm syndrome. They believe that the constitution is still generally in force and that the GOP leaders are trustworthy.
Trump is disliked because he gave money and said nice things about the Dems and hitlery in the past. Of course Trump did this as a form of tribute just as any rational businessman would do to pay off the mob bosses. To them, it is unforgiveable that Trump was not a tried and true GOPer all the time.
Wisconsin, the birthplace of progressivism.
It’s not just the “establishment” that dislikes Trump. Lots of rank and file GOP voters do too.

Yes. So many rank and file GOP voters hate Trump so much that he has received MORE votes than any other GOP candidate.
Personally, I’m sticking with Cruz.
