Trump's unfavorables spike in poll
The Hill ^ | 6-16-16 | Jesse Byrnes

Posted on 06/15/2016 3:15:31 PM PDT by Angels27

Donald Trump is viewed unfavorably by 7 in 10 Americans in a new national poll. Seventy percent of U.S. adults have an unfavorable view of the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, according to the ABC News/Washington Post poll released Wednesday, a 10-point increase since last month.

That's his highest unfavorable rating since the launch of his presidential campaign and is close to Trump's highest-ever unfavorable rating in the poll, 71 percent, from May 2015. Since then it's hovered closer to 60 percent and had fallen toward the end of the GOP primary season.

Hillary Clinton is also viewed unfavorably by a majority of Americans, 55 percent, a new high in the poll for her. Forty-three percent view her favorably.

Those numbers come shortly after Clinton won enough delegates to become the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. Still, national polls asking voters whom they plan to support in November have shown Clinton pulling ahead.

Clinton has higher favorability among members of her party than Trump does among his in the ABC poll: 75 percent of Democrats view Clinton favorably, and 65 percent of Republicans view Trump favorably.

Independents, which both candidates are seeking to win over, are tepid on both: 68 percent hold unfavorable views of Trump, and 63 percent hold unfavorable views of Clinton.

You mean because he beat them? What did he do to Romney or Ryan? The GOPe made him sign a loyalty oath. Now they are refusing to support the nominee of the party. There is no excuse.

Notice that this full out lying media mega attack is happening before he has the offical nomination? If Trump was as weak as they want you to believe they would have waited until after the convention. The press had given up all pretense of being even slightly objective in this attack. They will run our of bullets soon enough and Trump is man he apears to be, he will come roaring back.

I still believe that Trump will easily win as the economy slides towards depression.

The unforced error was in attacking the judge, period.

It wasn't an error, it was calculation by Trump, he got the bad news out now, and made the judge look bias against Trump, even though it looks like Trump shot himself in the foot to most people at this point, it basically removes this only weapon Crooked Hillary has against him.

Trump is a very smart man, he did this same stuff all throughout the primaries, he is using the same model, he is controlling both the good news and the bad news. You see the pattern, first JEB, Carson, Cruz, etc. By creating these waves he creates a larger base of support. Its genius

Trump made the unforced error of attacking a judge's heritage

Trump never attacked the judge's heritage of being the son of criminal illegal aliens. He only stated that being Hispanic, and being a member of a racist hate organization, would probably make him biased. Both were absolutely correct.

As for the polls. The pollsters are running shenanigans right now dropping Republican participation by 6 percent or more for no reason, when they had been giving Republicans a heavier weight in all previous polls this year.

Garbage Poll. Produced to make news and sway public opinion rather than to learn about public opinion. Internals, Internals, Internals ....

METHODOLOGY – This ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted by landline and cell phone from June 8-12, 2016, among a random national sample of 1,000 adults. Results have a margin of sampling error of 3.5 points. The survey was produced for ABC News by Langer Research Associates of New York, N.Y., with sampling, data collection and tabulation by SSRS of Media, Pa. See details on the survey’s methodology here.

The result of an Unprecedented level of 24/7 attacks, across ALL types of media.

The sheer weight of them is bound to have an effect with the low-infos, especially when told that Corrupt Hillary is the Goddess Cometh.

The map is deceiving. There are huge swathes of land full of forests, mountains, sand and tumbleweeds in red states. It’s all about population/votes, and unfortunately, more and more voters are aligning with evil.

You have to have patience and vigilance....not only is the Dem led media all in for Hillary, the faux conservatives of the GOP are just as much against Trump and will stop at nothing to get the media to continue to push the theme. Won’t work though. They know it and they’re scared.

So you’re on the WaPo staff? He didn’t attack the heritage of the judge, he attacked the associations. The media is just complicit.

Quit worrying about this stupid poll. Trump will likely win in a landslide. Especially after afew more terrorist attacks which I expect to happen.
