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.”

LOOK for the new book coming from Donald Trump!



(no truth to the rumor that Trump dedicates the book to Teduardo Cruz, lol)

I appreciate his refusal to be bullied by the GOP.

I was a Cruz guy until deep in the process. So I feel I can ask: Were you so against the RNC, Cruz and 16 other guys browbeating Trump into signing a pledge to support the nominee?

And I like how it's bullying to expect someone to honor their word. Well we learned that Ted doesn't when it suits him. Smacks of "hey, that was supposed to be a trap for HIM, not ME!"

I have only one thing to say to Lyin’ Loon Ted Cruz: “jump, Jump, JUMP!!”

It’s all up to Texas now.

[miss marmelstein]

Yes, indeed. Texans. Full of themselves.

[CAluvdubya]

And I unsubscribed from his email list

That's ok, he's still got the DNC.

[miss marmelstein]

How weird.

Perhaps like Rip Van Winkle he woke up. Instead of facing reality, unlike Rip, he’s decided it is September 2015 and Cruz is still a player.

Praying someone good will primary Ted’s Lyin, sorry azz.

[mkjessup]

Congratulations! You two esteemed FReepers have nabbed yourselves a *SLEEPER TROLL* !!!

Just like the pathetic losers slinking through the jungles of Pacific islands, thinking World War II is still going on,
fighting for the Emperor and the Empire, 'Saintathanasius' has heard static in their radio, and thought it was a coded
message from Tedjo, telling him to arise and spread disinformation!

[miss marmelstein]

Yes, Cruz is limited in what he remembers. But then he’s obviously undiagnosed Aspergers, lol!

[miss marmelstein]

LOL! They keep popping up because the jungle’s so thick!

[Jane Long]

LOLOL....you came back, after a six year hiatus....to agree that Lyin Ted was right to prove himself an untrusTED ass?

Go back to your cave....that likely ends in Meheeco.

Levin and the purist will be angry with your treachery sir! Prepare to be called a sellout. Sanders commie or some such crap and all the while they vote and support the Hag.

“More Texan obtrusiveness! What’s with you people?”

Hey, don’t lump all us Texans together like that. Support for the Cubanadian is weaker here than you might think.

[bray]

Did he ever deny his father knew Oswald?

[Karl Spooner]

Recall him then....so he doesn’t get the pension.

[miss marmelstein]

Sorry, Windflier!
