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 convince 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.

HuffPost has been reliable, it's RCP that's inaccurate as fuck. For individual polls, NBC/WSJ and DMR are usually off by 10 to 20 %.

I'm sorry Trump said said some mean things about you
>>69227936
Nice argument, shit-for-brains.
I can't wait until Trump fails to win the majority of delegates and loses the nomination to Cruz at the convention.
Trump for Trump
No matter how much perfume you spray on it, it's still an asshole.

If the RNC is contested, I guarantee you the establishment will not go with Cruz. They despise him and are using him only to prevent Trump from winning enough delegates.
Once that is accomplished, expect Yeb, Rubot or Kaiscuck. Or God forbid Romney.
There is no real path to the nomination for Cruz apart from winning the 87ish% of the delegates from now on, which isn't going to happen

choose one

You've said this every day since he announced he was running. Kill yourself.
>>69228045
Cruz doesn't have enough majority victories to be eligible to even be at the convention. He needs 8 states IIRC
>>69228490
Jeb,Rubio and Romney have been btfo by Trump if one of them are picked Trump runs third party and wins
>>69228719
I believe the 8 state rule was only in place for the 2012 convention.
>>69228490
I suppose it's possible, but it would be stupid. None of those candidates have performed anywhere near well enough for them to expect to have any shot at winning in November with him at the top of the ballot.

What really matters is how he does in head to head matchup polling.
The choice of a few dedicated zealots in his own party doesn't mean jack when 2/3 of Americans aren't a member of either party, and are by definition centrist. If over half of his own party hates him, what do you think that portends for the general election?
Hillary getting shlonged by Bernie, get fired for positive reporting of facts.
