November is fast becoming what the GOP fears: A referendum on Trump.

One caveat worth noting is that a significant percentage of the population remains undecided, or at least undeclared, in the current polls. A Washington Post-ABC News survey released last week pointed to the reasons. The survey measured only the favorability ratings for the two presumptive nominees, and it was another bleak indicator of the unhappy choice Americans see before them.

Clinton’s favorable rating was just 43 percent — about the same number she is drawing in a ballot test — while her unfavorable rating was 55 percent. Trump’s favorable rating was a crippling 29 percent, with 70 percent of the public saying they have an unfavorable view of him. A majority of adults — 56 percent — said they have a strongly unfavorable view of him, including one-fifth of Republicans.

70%!

1. and the rest of them

The referendum is directly on Trump, but truly, it is the culmination on the GOP for decades. He just says it out loud.

2. The repukes can cry me a river. Trump represents the apotheosis of everything they have

striven to imbue in a candidate for decades. It's a little disingenuous to claim that he doesn't represent their values.

3. Trumps ratings won't matter until they start having an impact on down ballot candidates.

When those down ballot candidates start seeing their numbers drop then Trump becomes a problem. The GOP has decided that they can stick with Trump and take their lumps as long as it only costs them the White House. If it looks like it's going to cost them the House or the Senate, (when they see candidates falling by 10 or more points as a result of the Trump affect) then and only then will they feel they have to do something.

6. He will be a drag.

Not only himself but the lack of resources for the national party.

4. I hope he manages to make it to Nov.

The beating the Rethugs take down ticket could be near 1932 levels.

5. I do too.

At least hang on until after the GOP convention.
