Trump would be least-popular major-party nominee in modern times

Source: Washington Post

If Donald Trump secures the Republican presidential nomination, he would start the general election campaign as the least-popular candidate to represent either party in modern times.

Three-quarters of women view him unfavorably. So do nearly two-thirds of independents, 80 percent of young adults, 85 percent of Hispanics and nearly half of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents.

Those findings, tallied from Washington Post-ABC News polling, fuel Trump’s overall 67 percent unfavorable rating — making Trump more disliked than any major-party nominee in the 32 years the survey has been tracking candidates.

Oh, gee, let's not include him because his favorable ratings will be too high and we can't have people
seeing that!




Hillary Clinton, the Democrats' front-runner, has an unfavorability rating of -13, a third of Trump's but well below the positive rating of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, her opponent for the party's nomination.

The net favorability scores are determined by subtracting the percentage of voters who have negative views of a candidate from the percentage of those who view the candidate favorably.

Sanders' rating of +7.

"A silver lining for Trump is that voters overall also feel antipathy for Clinton, the Democratic front-runner. The distaste for Clinton is not as strong as it is for Trump — 52 percent of voters see her unfavorably — but Clinton’s vulnerabilities, combined with Trump’s unpredictability, haunt many Democrats."

I did not include this excerpt. Maybe I should have.

It was enough of a distraction to hide their bias.

unfortunately Cruz is taking over as the "anti-Trump" alternative.
