Washington Post: Donald Trump leads, but he’s still got a big image problem
Washington Post ^ | 01/13/2016 | By Scott Clement

Republicans nationwide have downgraded their opinions of Donald Trump, Ben Carson and Jeb Bush three weeks before the first presidential caucuses and primaries begin, even as increasing numbers view Ted Cruz and Chris Christie in a positive light, according a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

The poll finds far less upheaval on the Democratic side, with Hillary Clinton receiving persistently high favorable marks among fellow Democrats and outpacing Bernie Sanders across all segments of the party. Her popularity advantage nationally contrasts with polls in Iowa and New Hampshire showing competitive contests for the nomination.

Among the overall public, broad impressions of candidates range from mediocre to historically negative. Sanders ranks best with a narrowly positive image at 44 percent favorable and 40 percent unfavorable, followed by a slew of candidates in narrowly negative territory, and Jeb Bush and Donald Trump receiving clearly negative reviews.

Questioning Cruz’s ‘Natural born citizenship’ issue is a LOSING proposition for Trump and he should back off. This is HURTING not helping him!

If the Wapo thinks Trump’s image is bad it’s good from our point of view.

Like there writer Meyer on the Fred Koch building a refinery with the Nazi's

He was friendly with USSR but became disillusion and then funded the John Birch society.

The Nazi lover was Joe Kennedy.

Then add Richard Mellon Scaife who never work except a newspaper not Oil refineries

Trump doesn’t know he is to lose to Hillary so we have an Obama 3rd Term and the Looting of the Treasury can go on as the DNC/RNC have planned. If Hill gets into corruption scandal—Joe Biden will take her winning spot (add Warren as VP—A WOMAN) and the beat will go on! No fence, no shaking of the applecart! The rich get rich and the Poor become dependent Democrats—what a world they will build.

“Questioning Cruz’s ‘Natural born citizenship’ issue is a LOSING proposition for Trump and he should back off. This is HURTING not helping him!”

Actually, probably not with the AVERAGE semi-aware GOP voter. It’s a standard tactic to sew doubt and confusion. My guess is this doubt will give some undecided’s a pause.
