Trump will keep closing the gap between him and Clinton, and by the end of June, he’ll be beating her in most polls.
Just wait until Trump turns his guns on Cankles. Her negatives will hit the stratosphere.
I’d be interested to ask voters -
Would you rather work for Trump or Hillary? Who would be the better boss?
They are both beating the candidates with more favorability in their respective parties. So this means nothing. Trump will cream Hillary come November.
Fiorina has high negatives but that didn’t stop Cruz from picking her as his nonsensical VP
The HILDERBEAST is going to burn in HELL!!!
Who would you follow into battle - Hillary or Trump?
As a Cruzer who knows when it is time to pack it in and unify under Trump, I would say that the difference between Trump’s and HRC’s negatives is that Hillary has been on the political scene for so long that it is well nigh impossible for her to convince those who are disaffected by her to change, while it is possible for Trump, who can still become “more Presidential” without completely dropping the brashness and bluntness that got him here, to lower some of his negatives between now and November.
Nevertheless, there will ALWAYS be a plurality who are negative towards Trump, in small part because he is Trump, and in large part because he is Not Down With The Struggle Where Resist We Much. If you think the animus towards Reagan was difficult, it will seem like a Sunday School picnic compared to the out-and-out rebellion that will be planned and funded for a Trump Presidency—and it would have been the same for Cruz, and probably even for Jeb! as well. The left will not go quietly into the good night.
ppl like to focus on favourables because they’re in the negatives, but favourables don’t prove who win election, if so, Hillary wouldn’t be beating Sanders and Trump wouldn’t be beating Carson
Imagine if the GOPe was not doing the occupation’s work and instead spent over $600 million on positive Trump advertisements, rather than 55,000 negative commercials.
Well I had reckoned on both Trump’s and Clinton’s numbers being dragged down by opposition within their own party as well as outside it...a phenomena which will likely be substantially mitigated at the party conventions. But if Trump is more hurt that way like they suggest, then he has more of a potential convention bump.
Trumps negatives are fixable. Her’s are not.
Trump’s negatives are from two causes, 1, people do not know him (as it was with Reagan in early 1980,) and 2, to be totally honest, his mouth.
Trump can simply demonstrate he is a reasoned man, not a hip shooter, and that will take care of most of the second problem. Time will resolve the first.
Hillary on the other hand, has the exact opposite problem. Our dislike for her IS from knowing her, and will only get worse as the campaign continues and more people see her in a competitive environment.
Remember the other Hillary problem. A certain percentage of the people LOVE her, and the rest hate her. She has no one who just “likes her somewhat,” and in politics, that is deadly.
Of course, if she is indicted, and steps out, the Biden/Warren team are in within 72 hours.
