Ted Cruz Favorability Rating Collapse Confirmed in National and Ohio Post-RNC Convention Polls

Ted Cruz’s failure to endorse rival Donald Trump for president at last week’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio has apparently caused his favorability rating among GOP voters to collapse, according to a national survey and an Ohio poll.

An NBC News/Survey Monkey nationwide poll released Tuesday and a PPP survey of Ohio Republicans released Monday confirms the shocking collapse in Cruz’ favorability rating among Republican voters following the convention seen in a CNN/ORC poll released Monday.

CNN/ORC:

“Cruz’s move, however, appears to have backfired. While 60% of Republican voters had a positive impression of the former presidential candidate before the convention, just 33% have one now.”

NBC News/Survey Monkey:

“Ted Cruz, who scored a strong round of boos when he declined to endorse Trump in his speech to the RNC, was not viewed kindly by Republicans voters. Though Cruz finished second in the GOP primary race, just 28 percent of members of his own party now view him favorably; 68 percent now view him unfavorably. Clearly, his performance at the GOP convention was not received well by his party.”

PPP Ohio:

“The biggest loser from the convention is Ted Cruz though. He has an 18/65 favorability rating with Ohio voters, making him by far and away the least popular figure in our poll. Even among Republicans he’s at just 23/61. We asked GOP voters who they would support in a hypothetical primary contest between Trump and Cruz, and Trump wins out 61-19.”

Thanks for the *Ping* Kent!

“For over a thousand years Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of triumph, a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeteers, musicians and strange animals from conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conquerors rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children robed in white stood with him in the chariot or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting.”

Little Cruzoleon never even made it to the triumphant parade:

That’s hilarious, Mark! The facial expression on Beck’s face is to die for!

[miss marmelstein]

I hope so, nopardons!

How ya doin’?

[Enchante]

I can’t believe that his unfavorability is not at 98%. I know there are always some holdouts, but come on.....

[Pollster1]

The electoral choices are: An evil tyrant who wants absolute power so she can crush freedom, or a man who unfairly and inappropriately insulted his wife. Cruz chose unwisely in letting the personal attacks get to him enough to suggest there was more than one acceptable option.

[alstewartfan]

He didn’t embarrass me! Ted would have disgraced himself if he had ENDORSED Trump after Trump assailed his family.

[bray]

He said he quit supporting Ted and was joking later.

[miss marmelstein]

Another Texan nutcase? Does Jim know about you? Lucky, I’m not a tattle-tale.

Seriously, I’m sick of you guys.

[lightman]

He anointed himself with ghost Capsecain.

[miss marmelstein]

Poor Teddie. Maybe he should have apologized when his pac sent out that nasty photo implying that the gorgeous, intelligent and homebody Melania was a tramp. What a fool you people are.

[thesligoduffyflynns]

I’ll never forget that speech Cruz gave at RNC. As you know it was vetted by The Donald’s team or The Donald himself prior .

I’ll tell ya’- after I heard that speech & Cruz said “vote your conscience”? -—total schadenfreude!

The Donald is truly a master at the art of the deal- i mean seriously & w/o hesitation- who could have pulled that off? but he did- all the while w/o a shred of emotion & Tedders hung himself in public.

Boy would I have liked to have been the fly on the wall when The Donald went home that night!

What the Hell is wrong with you? You and your fellow Cruzlims 'appreciate' Ted Cruz for doing all that he can to sabotage the Trump campaign? For failing to keep his WORD to support the nominee, no matter who it was? Do you appreciate (being a Texan) the fact that Cruz LIED to you and all Texans in 2012, a lie of omission, by failing to mention as he was running for his Senate seat that he was STILL a Canadian citizen?!? He only mentioned it after he was about to be exposed about his deceptive behavior. Take a hint from our Esteemed Founder, who said this not too long ago:

IMHO, anti-Trumpers can get lost. We’re beyond rehashing the Cruz failure. If the sore losers can’t get past it, they’re absolutely no good for the cause. A vote for anyone but Trump is a betrayal to America and to every principle we hold dear. If Hillary is elected, we’re done for generations. The liberal activist judges she appoints will be with us for a very long time and will kill off what’s left of our Constitution. If you can’t see that or refuse to see it, you’re an idiot. Has nothing whatsoever to do with Cruz. Forget Cruz. He’s no longer a factor in this race other than negative. If he doesn’t endorse Trump he’ll deserve all the grief we can give him.

As for you, ya precious little snowflake, you need to get your mind right, or move on to Colorado and look up Kendal Unruh, I'll bet you two gals would get along real good.

And if you can find our resident zotted nutcase 'libbylu', by all means take her with you.

The SS Cruz is just about to head to the bottom, better take a pic while you still can:

[Psalm 144]

Oath breaking, Obama panhandling, booger boy is not worth more pixels.

Lift the barrage onto all those people oily Felito was hanging with on AF1.

[deport]

I appreciate his refusal to be bullied by the GOP.

*****************

And that is your choice and option Cruz has. The process continues and Cruz chose to
get off the wagon. What will happen with him down the road is anyone’s guess at this
stage. He may can reposture himself to the voters in Texas for 2018, we’ll see. Look
up Cruz’s work history. It hasn’t been a historical part of his work history to hang
around but a few years in a job before moving on to something else. First it will be
his choice and then the voters of Texas will speak. We’ll see.

Thank you Miss M, if I was looking for candidates for a ‘dead pool’, I’d have Glenn Beck, Kendal Unruh (the Colorado CruzBot Crazie) and Mark Levin in positions 1, 2 and 3.

[miss marmelstein]

Just the idea of Beck crying at Waterloo had me in hysterics. And the photo was perfect.

“The closest I can think of is Charlie Sheen. And I’m guessing that Charlie still has more supporters than Lyin Ted.”

You have to admit that the concept of having tiger blood in one’s veins is much more inspirational than expressing romantic attraction to rodents.

[piytar]

How’s that working out for you Lying (soon to be Crying) Cruz?

BTW I used to be one of your supporters. Now I won’t even vote for you in Texas. Thanks for proving your true nature!

[nopardons]

I'll drop you a note in FRmail.

Cruz is a vindictive, deranged, POS and so are the remnants of his stupid cult.

Most think paying Carly $500K to keep his mistress quiet embarrassed his wife more than a silly picture.
