Trump leading next 5 states...in favorability?

Five States will vote tomorrow and Mr Trump is polling above 50 in all of them and in some cases over 60. This must be why Kasich and Cruz decided to try to join forces as the GOP dynamic duo but, to no avail, it will not help. In fact, it will probably hurt them in the long run. The big news is though not the voter polling of the candidate but of favorability of the candidate still running.

In Connecticut, Trump has 59 percent support, followed by rival John Kasich with 25 percent and Ted Cruz with just 13 percent. Trump also has more than half of the vote in Pennsylvania, with 51 percent support. Cruz follows with 25 percent and Kasich close behind with 22 percent. Trump has 61 percent of the vote in Rhode Island. Kasich follows with 23 percent and Cruz with 13 percent. In each of the three states, Trump also has the highest favorability ratings among the Republican candidates. In Connecticut, he has a 66-percent favorability rating. In Pennsylvania, he holds a 59-percent favorability rating and in Rhode Island, he has a 69-percent favorability rating

and who has the lowest? You, Lyin Ted. Now, this is something that many have said on fringe media and here on ATSNN that the numbers mean nothing if no one likes him.

www.realclearpolitics.com... for those who want comparison.

I have even seen the shift on here. I could probably name the first 3 detractors but the supporters are growing. Maybe there should be a Clinton/Trump poll just to see on here.

Maybe they are trying to get Trump elected?

It just seems that way.

Or maybe they really are that out of touch with reality?

Trump leads in favorability within the GOP base and has for some time. Not just in the next 5 states, but nationally too. This includes with women and minority groups.

His problems come when the question is asked more broadly to include DEMs and independents.

No doubt, though the liberal MSM will be in all out war mode till November if Trump wins the GOP nomination.

There are two other things to look at. One, Trump has 2 million more votes than Romeny did at this time. Cruz has about 4,000 less than Romney did at this time. The GOP leaning voter is out and they are pissed. This shows you that the 'conservative base' that Romeny would have pulled is still there and that Trump has pulled in millions of non-true GOP voters. Millions just for the primaries. He will kill it in the general.

We can hope. I'm not convinced the powers that be will let him become President.

TRUMP WAHOO!!!

I think 8 years of obama is more than enough liberal politics for a lot of people, they`ll vote for anyone that the RNC nominates, anyone who isn`t another liberal.

Have you seen CNN change Its entire staff in the last three months and its political platform since they lost all their ratings with hit pieces on Trump?

I'm convinced they certainly wouldn't let him STAY President, if he did get elected....(Sanders either, for that matter)....

Not necessarily. One thing we Conservatives don't take lightly, is our voice being ignored. For our own party to do it? Well, we tend to take it pretty personally, and we won't get mad, we'll simply even the score. If Trump has a good majority, and they DON'T make him the nominee, well, we'll then KNOW just how rigged the system is, and we'll have a choice, depending on how Mr. Trump takes such a betrayal.

Polls close in 1 hr 15 minutes - early exit polls should be available soon.

First exit polls show between 66% and 70% of people think the nomination should go to the candidate with the most delegates if no one makes 1237... this has correlated to Trump win previously.

Meh, New England states. Southern/Tea Party Cruz doesn't appeal to them the way in-crowd Trump and establishment Kasich do.

I'm most interested tonight in the margins - especially to see if any Cruz voters shift to Kasich... Trumps 1237 path has no room for hiccups. He needs to get over 85 of the 117 bound delegates tonight so the district battles will be important.

Lol. Also shows the 30-34% of people who voted for the Cruz-Kaisch train wreck

Are those open or closed elections? If open, they need to join the GOP for their state and work to change the policy. If closed, they need to bring their state party leadership to task.

In the meantime, this is not an election of a candidate. It's a selection process for a nominee. They should suck it up and learn about the rules before they complain.

Disagree. The rules are poor rules. Two private organisations select a candidate each and make up the rules themselves each election and at the same time any third party has to jump over hurdles just to compete with the two private organisations. That basically means you get a President chosen for you. You don't 'suck up' stupid and corrupt rules, you force change.

The big difference in the last 2 cycles, 2012 and 2016, is that the cosy private club which pretends to the people it is about fair nominations and elections has been exposed.
