Trump's Popularity Nosedives In Critical Stretch
As he inches toward the GOP nomination, Donald Trump is becoming more and more disliked among American voters.
By STEVEN SHEPARD 03/29/16
Donald Trump wasn't wildly popular to begin with. And now he's becoming even more disliked among American voters, creating a significant threat to his chances of winning the Republican presidential nomination. Trump is, by far, the GOP delegate leader — and the only candidate with a realistic shot at winning a majority of delegates before the July convention. But at the same time, nearly two-thirds of Americans view Trump unfavorably — and his image rating has declined since Republican voting began in February.
The danger for Trump is two-fold: His declining popularity is taking a toll on his standing in the 17 states that will hold primaries between now and the end of the process in early June. Losing some of these states — or even winning fewer delegates in proportional states — makes it more difficult for Trump to secure a pre-convention majority of 1,237 delegates.
That’s where Trump’s horrific poll numbers could haunt him again: If Trump misses the threshold to win the nomination outright in bound delegates, it will be more difficult to persuade unbound delegates to put him over the top if they see him as a general election disaster-in-the-making due to his high unfavorability ratings among all voters.
How bad are Trump’s image ratings? The HuffPost Pollster average of recent national polls puts Trump’s favorability at only 31 percent, while 63 percent view him unfavorably.
That’s a notable decline from late January, on the eve of the first votes in the GOP nominating process, when Trump’s average favorability rating was 37 percent, with 57 percent viewing him unfavorably.

Damn, what simple minded BS.
This article has been posted about what? 4 times already today.
Apparently he was winning a majority of the delegates in ND...
Prediction # 3,000,000,041?
That’s really upsetting.
I know darn well it’s at least...
...prediction # 3,000,000,043.
Why are you always shading the truth at Trump’s expense?

Rush Limbaugh said the Politico is the website the establishment goes to in order to start gossip and stories.
That’s Rueters by the way ... tracking poll ... they may or may not be good in terms of actual percentages but the trend is not going to be wrong.
You know what this means folks...
Cruz is on fire.
Cruz is in charge.
Cruz is going to win the Bible Belt Southern states...
Oh..., wait.
Gosh, I guess the people standing in line for hours in WI didn’t get the memo.
******
So those people standing in line represent 63% of the American people? I didn’t know the population of WI was so large.
> Trump wasn’t wildly popular to begin with
Yeah that’s usually the case with front-runners, they’re just not popular.
misinformation that will fail as a futile last ditch effort
If other states are dong the same thing it will take a miracle to get DT in as President. With what he is up against if he gets in it will have to by a miracle from God. I hope all of this will bring him to his knees before Almighty God, asking for forgiveness, submitting himself to Him and relying on Him to do battle for him. He needs to consider himself David in the face of Goliath if he is going to win this one. It finally looks like he has bit off more than he can chew. He needs Jesus Christ in a powerful and living way. The whole country needs a leader who knows Jesus Christ in a real, powerful and living way.
They don't seem to have a clue what this nation is up against nor what it will take to even begin to get it back on track. I use to think Cruz was different from the the GOPe pack, but the more I have followed him and learned more about him the more I am inclined to think that he may be a Trojan horse GOPe plant. I do not trust him.
Crawl back under your marsh, carp.
You re so dumb, that I don’t care to educate you. I can’t believe how dumbed down Americans have become.
