Mitt Romney's national favorability rating is even lower than Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's, according to a new poll. The 2012 GOP presidential nominee is viewed favorably by 23 percent of registered voters, according to the left-leaning Public Policy Polling survey released Thursday, while 65 percent view him unfavorably.
Trump is viewed favorably by 29 percent, while 63 percent hold an unfavorable view.
Romney denounced Trump during a major speech earlier this month, calling him a "fraud." He's since campaigned against the businessman.
Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) also faces stark numbers, with 37 percent of those polled approving of his handling of Speaker duties and 44 percent disapproving.
The poll saved its harshest numbers for Congress in general: A whopping 79 percent of voters disapprove of the job Congress is doing, while 13 percent approve.
Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders both hold double-digit leads over Trump and GOP rival Ted Cruz in hypothetical head-to-head matchups.
Going out and doing what Romney did to a guy who supported his 2012 presidential run would do that
Insufferable backstabbing rat, Willard Romney is.
Who? Rom-who?
You would think that a person (Romney) attacking the most unpopular politician in 30 years (Trump) would see an increase in his popularity, instead of a sharp decline. This article and the other one declaring Trump the most unpopular politician in 30 years, don’t make any sense whatsoever.
Romney needs to be kicked out of the party.
This article and the other one declaring Trump the most unpopular politician in 30 years, don’t make any sense whatsoever.
Sure it does.
Watching a guy go out and trash someone who gave their support and money to your presidential campaign and glowingly so wouldn’t be very popular regardless of how people feel about Trump
PING
Willard served his purpose in 2012: Getting his good buddy Zero a second term without breaking a sweat.
I took part in a poll asking if I would support Romney. I voted no like 96% others. 3% voted yes and 1% was decided.
Since Romney is not running for POTUS, this is not relavent.
I would think McCain, Dole,W, Obama, Modale, Gore, would ALL poll worse, as well. It is like saying McKinley polls worse than Cooledge.
Waste of space.
Romney should not be allowed to speak at the convention.
If he does, he should be booed and airhorned.
Really? Who gives a rats patooty where Romey polls? He’s so irrelevant, this shouldn’t even be newsworthy.
It is a reflection on Romney’s nevertrump campaign— apparently the leader of that movement is less popular than Trump..
>>Romney needs to be kicked out of the party.
Romney IS the party. We’re the ones who don’t belong.
Dirty Nasty Mitten$
“Romney IS the party. We’re the ones who don’t belong.”
No. I’m not going anywhere.
We need to alinsky his a$$.
Run him out on a rail. Let it be a warning shot across the bow for the rest of them.
Let me explain why Romney is a traitor to the conservative base.
1. he was the father of obamacare.
2. He is a global interventionists.
3 he is a “FREE”Trader but it is not free to us.
4 He is Gope, about their power, Their money, Their position rather that what is best for America,
I can’t spell it out any better.
TRUMPS P[OPULARITY IS NOT LOW..ARE THESE NEWS REPORTERS CRAZY
So I guess this means that the GOPe has one significantly less excuse concerning their attacks on Trump?
