The Donald’s Negatives Are in Free Fall

For months there has appeared to be one roadblock standing between Donald Trump and victory in the Republican presidential primary campaign: The large number of people who didn’t like him. While poll after poll found him in the lead, they also found him with some of the highest unfavorable numbers — meaning people had already formed an opinion of him, and it wasn’t positive.

But two polls released Tuesday in early primary states show that dislike evaporating. A South Carolina poll conducted by Monmouth University found Trump with 58 percent holding a favorable opinion and 28 percent, an unfavorable opinion. A Public Policy Polling survey of New Hampshire voters found 56 percent holding a favorable opinion and 32 percent, an unfavorable opinion.

“It’s a phenomenon we have never really seen before — an already extremely well-known figure who can completely flip his favorability ratings in the span of weeks [without the intervention of a national emergency or similar event],” said Patrick Murray, the pollster who conducted the South Carolina poll and has also recently conducted surveys nationally and in Iowa. “But of course, that rule has applied to our experience with typical politicians. Trump is completely outside the box…” “If anything he just seems to be getting stronger as the campaign rolls on.”

Donald’s negatives are mostly the lemmings running in the direction the media is telling them that everyone is running. As Donald’s popularity becomes undeniable, I’d expect them lemmings to love him, and to see his unfavorables drop much lower than those of the Cuckservative politicians who are his opposition.

Donald is increasingly loved by both a large portion of the Conservative grassroots, and by many contrarian liberals who see him as an enemy of establishment Republicans and a corrupted government. That offers the prospect of a large base of positive sentiment. Meanwhile, your average Cuckservative is reviled by the entirety of their opposition, and by much of their base. That is not conducive to large positive ratings.

Right now, there are many metrics favoring Donald. The question may come down to whether or not those votes you cast on a computer screen ever get tabulated into a vote total that determines electoral outcomes. If they do, the GO)Pe has a sweet, sweet comeuppance heading their way.
