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.
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
Greatest State in the land of the free and home of the brave.
If you think the rambling non sequiturs of Trump will “make America great again”, you are in for a rude awakening.
Why have so many Freepers, including you, turned into punks and creeps? I would not have believed it half a year ago, but it has happened. If I get the boot here, it would be shameful, frankly, but I’m not sure I’d miss it anymore. To many Freepers now, Trump is God and the U.S Constitution be damned. When does Trump ever speak about REDUCING Big Brother government power, as expressed by our Founders? Never, that’s when.
Really, I challenge you to read your own postings from last year, and I’ll bet that they were civil and respectful. Has Trump burst the dam that now allows his followers to become jerks like him? It surely seems that way.
Thanks for this information, thesligoduffyflynns. I hope many people read your post.
The facts are really simple; Teddykins lost, even his major donors of yore have deserted him and want NOTHING at all to do with him!
OTOH, Trump has brought in Dems, Indies, nonvoters, people who haven't EVER voted before, blacks, Hispanics, Koreans, etc.!
You are an IMBECILE....wanting Trump to "APOLOGIZE" to Teddy and his brain dead supporters.
Yes, my posts were civil and so were many other Trump supporters'! Around last December, or so, we were fed up with "turning the other cheek, as you and the other Cruzites posted lies, impugnations, and calumnies about Trump and US! So we fought back and you stupids couldn't/still can't take it. You have drowned in the CRUZ-AIDE and should have left FR long ago, since you refuse to see reality and just what and who Cruz REALLY is... TRAITOR, A LIAR, AND LOWER THAN WHALE SH*T.
You’re welcome, I’m just hoping we can all work together to defeat Hillary.
I don’t know this guy. Every time we take down one of these moles and another one pops up!
And home to some of the dullest minds of FR.
Who was that guy???
These Cruz nuts are getting on my nerves. He gives one of his best press conferences yesterday and they’re still complaining about him.
So glad he’s gone.
....wait for it...
Heh, heh, heh .... LOL
I’m glad. He spouted every stupid cliché of the Trump hater and Cruz lover. It was like listening to Joe Biden in his critique of Trump. I don’t understand any of these people.
Good morning to you, Mark.
Exactly right, Cruz is as phony as a 3 dollar bill. And now we know beyond a doubt that his word is no good. I will not be voting for Cruz in 2018.
Let's not forget that prior to Trump pointing out the Mrs Trump is much better looking then Mrs Cruz, the Cruz campaign has for weeks been portraying Mrs Trump as morally unfit to be First Lady. Basically calling her a slut. Below is an image of Melania Trump watching over the Cruz girls. Ted Cruz is a scumbag.
You mean after the Cruz campaign put out an ad calling Melania Trump a slut?
