Donald Trump is now the least popular American politician in three decades

For months, as Donald Trump lurched from controversy to controversy, commentators marveled that his voters remained loyal: Trump is impervious to political attack, some said. Not so. Trump wasn't immune; analysts were just failing to look at the whole board.
......
Trump’s image, which was poor even before he ran for president, has plunged to an unequaled low. Among scores of major political figures measured in polls over the last 30 years, Trump’s numbers are the worst.

 he would be the most unpopular nominee in the history of U.S. opinion surveys, veteran Democratic pollster Peter Hart said in an email. “By a lot,” he added.


The share of Americans with an unfavorable view of Trump is extraordinary: 68% in the most recent Bloomberg poll, 67% in the CNN/ORC survey, 67% in the ABC/Washington Post poll, 65% from Gallup.

 In 1975, a year after his resignation during the Watergate scandal, Gallup found that 71% of Americans gave Nixon an unfavorable rating.

Among all women, 70% have a negative view of Trump, while among men, 58% do. On the flip side, 23% of women and 36% of men view Trump positively, Gallup found.

If those numbers are even remotely close to correct that is devastating.

Cruz unfavorable rating has increased to 57% and he's barely noticeable in the media.

Italy Had a Donald Trump (deal-maker, billionaire, lover & highly corrupted, saying one thing and then its very opposite)
he was called Silvio Berlusconi. And won every elections until bankrupt of the country.

Big business is a plague for conservatives, deluding good people and exciting the bitterness of the worse.

Welcome to the Forum, and a social studies lesson from another part of the world, of what damage a populist can do.

Welcome, welcome!

I think that conservatives who think this fail to realize that a country is not a company... and that a President can't fire Congress, the Judicial branch, or the voters.  Quite the opposite, in fact.
