Poll: Donald Trump would be fired in 2012 general election
By: Kendra Marr April 26, 2011 07:27 AM EDT
Half of all Americans and almost a third of Republicans think Donald Trump wouldn't make a good president, according to a new poll.
Despite his rapid ascent in presidential primary polls, a USA Today/Gallup survey out Tuesday shows that voters have significant reservations about actually putting the real estate mogul into the Oval Office. Half of all Americans said Trump would be a "poor" or "terrible" commander-in-chief. For Republicans, that number is 31 percent.
Sixty-four percent of all Americas said they would definitely not vote for Trump in 2012, while only only 7 percent said they definitely would. That disparity is matched only by Sarah Palin's negative numbers.
Though 46 percent of Americans said they definitely wouldn’t vote for President Barack Obama.....

Politico. Take it with a box of salt..................
born June 14, 1946 in Queens, New York, NY (Meets the Jus Soli Requirement)
Parents were
Frederick Christ Trump, born October 11, 1905 in Queens, NY, died June 1999 in Queens, NY
Mary Ann MacLeod, born May 10, 1912 in SCOTLAND, died August 7, 2000 in Queens, NY. Arrived in US October 5, 1935. Naturalized as a US Citizen March 10, 1942.
Both parents were US Citizens at the time of his birth (Meets the Jus Sanguinis Requirement)
Donald Trump is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN unlike Comrade Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama.
“They needed a poll to figure this out?”
Apparently. Anyone with any sense realizes Trump is just not Presidential material.
Palin ‘12!
He hasn’t faced any tough questions or real scrutiny yet. Hopefully he’ll be out early so he doesn’t do any real damage.
As Dick Morris said on TV last night (I paraphrase): If Trump ran against Obama, you would have a man who has made BILLIONS outsmarting the ruthless Chinese, created an empire, taken on the world and won, and knows ALL about economics at a time when the worldwide economic situation is terrible, running against a community organizer.
If you believe the this poll, the Media’s job has been accomplished. If you can’t kill the message, kill the messenger.
Yeah, but his politics suck.
As with any body, don’t put your faith in a man. You will be disappointed every time. Put your faith in God. He will never fail you.......................
Politico BS poll. The poll sampled 1,013 adults. No internals on the sampled group. Again, total BS.
Polls have become mind controlling events.
Agree, Trump is in it to win it. I like what he’s saying, I like how he responds to celebutards and ROVE, and I like that he loves this country.
Damage to WHOM?
Obama?
Naw wouldn't want THAT now would we?
OOOOPS, I forgot. My bad!
We ALL KNOW that Trump is some sort of Chameleon, pretend Con, who is in fact, a Far, Far, LEFT, Lib whose "SECRET" and nefarious intent is to divide and destroy the Tea Party and Conservatives.....all the while.....wait for it....REALLLLY working for Dear Leader's re-election.
Now, where did I put my tin foil hat.....?
Polls are not intended to measure public opinion — that’s the old way. Since the 80’s they have been intended to DRIVE public opinion. And it works because too many people are sheeple and don’t pay much attention.
Because frankly, a poll of “adults” and not “likely Republican voters” means nothing at this point — this far away from any actual voting. But it still gets news, which is sad.
re: Palin 12!
Problem is, republicans have little interest in uniting behind her. Go figure.
Obama 2007
Obama 2008
Obama 2009
Obama 2010
Obama 2011
Say hopy changy. Lets go play golf. Shoot hoops. Fly around the world on AF1!
ummmmmmmmmmm
“That disparity is matched only by Sarah Palin’s negative numbers.”
You don’t think the whole objective of this story and poll is to do to Trump what they did to Palin? The Donald is in for the same treatment she received. It’s called “Borking.”
The only poll worth considering at this point is how Trump would fare against Obama. And yes, that’s when he’ll have my vote. (Trump, that is.)
