Images of Cruz and Trump Fall as GOP Campaign Heats Up

Cruz's image among GOP has fallen more than any GOP candidate

Rubio remains far more popular than Trump, Cruz

Trump's popularity among Republicans is near his campaign low

PRINCETON, N.J. -- Ted Cruz's and Donald Trump's images among Republicans have dropped to all-time lows in recent days as exchanges between the Republican presidential candidates have turned highly negative and personal. Cruz's net favorable rating among Republicans is now +14, his lowest to date and essentially the same as Trump's +15. Marco Rubio's image is less positive than it has been at previous points in the campaign, but at +34, it is the same as in early January. Rubio's net favorable score is now twice as high as the scores of either of his major two competitors.

Cruz, Rubio and Trump Net Favorable Ratings Among Republicans/Leaners

The net favorable ratings Republicans and Republican-leaning independents give to Cruz, Trump and Rubio are all at or near their lowest since tracking began, underscoring the clear toll the campaign has apparently taken on how Republicans view these contenders. The latest update comes from Gallup polling conducted Feb. 21-27. During this time, the leading Republican candidates intensified their rhetoric against one another, including at the 10th Republican debate on Feb. 25 and at a Trump campaign event on Friday during which New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie endorsed Trump.

And in my view, Trump's dishonesty is trumped only by that of Clinton and Sanders.

He seems more than up to the task.  He's been living rent-free in the heads of most of you for at least a month now.

He must be living rent free somewhere, for he appears to not have taken any time away from his gattling-gun keyboard for days, to go to a real job--you know work.

Unless this is his work. Must get paid by the post.

Whatever he does he seems quite successful at it, considering he's got your goat too.

All lies. I hope Drumpf sues the hell out of these Republicans who are not supporting him.

Should we take up a collection for the sanitarium?

Ok i will report the post myself.  Sink should know that is a joke

Nope, just like watching a massive car wreck in action. You know you should look away but some how just cannot drag your eyes away from the carnage. Everyone is watching for the epic melt down we all know is coming when the real world finally penetrates the bubble world at last.

Sink server a very valuable position here. He gives us all  something to talk about other then the usual "Rah Rah go my Team" campaign bs.

Ah yes, the standard "I know you are but what are we" responses.

So sad there are no truly worth intellectual foes any longer. All one finds on the web these days is the usual collection of Junior High School level intellects trading the same juvenile level snarking one can find in any school yard.
