Look genius, I know you can't differentiate between a national poll between Trump and Clinton vs Trump against his fellow GOP contenders so I typed real slow for you. This is not the type of poll I was referring to yesterday, so do see now why the Trump Clinton numbers are irrelevant at this stage of the game? Probably not, you don't strike me as very intelligent..😂

Title is a bit misleading in that the poll is of Republicans.

I think it made sense that some portion of those not enamored of him would nonetheless answer affirmatively on liking him since he's likely the nominee. Some portion would support the GOP nominee no matter who it is, just like some part of the Dems would on their side of the coin.

The question is which side is less enthused? They say they support him, but will they vote for him? Likewise, some significant portion of Clinton's Dem support is lukewarm, too.

Its a shame that some sizeable part of the electorate in November -- maybe more than half -- will just be voting against someone, rather than for someone. That neither party could find someone to motivate their own people is pretty pathetic.

I've voted against politicians many many times. In fact, I really have a hard time remembering many I would willing vote for. I've voted for third party candidates when I honestly thought the least reprehensible major candidate had things wrapped up.

Anyway, when (probably) I vote for Trump it will certainly be a vote against Clinton or Sanders, and it will most certainly be a vote against the rank and file Republicans. I don't like Trump and don't think he's fit to be president, but still he's more competent than Obama, more honest than either Clinton, and probably less a bungler than Bush the latter.

I agree; it is all very pathetic that what we keep being offered as leaders might (questionably) be competent at scooping up dog poop in a park. I'd be very careful where I stepped in any case. Considering the country's leadership and my age, I'm thinking what I have will get me through in reasonable style, but a lot of you who are significantly younger should be very apprehensive. Just like the lowest bidder gets government contracts, the lowest common denominator(s) (education and gimme the money) keep electing politicians - gonna be hard to recover from that.

The bold above is likely a very good summary for many people who will be voting this year.

I think Trump is a bad candidate, uniformed, and a egotistical punk. With that said Cruz and Kasich should drop out after tonight.

If PA distributed its delegates like the other states, the race would be over. 54 of the 71 are uncommitted by rule.

Yes, but even with that it's getting hard for the GOP establishment to block him from the nomination..he has more delegates than everyone else combined...they should let him have it and let him spend his own money on the general..they can redistribute it to the close house and senate races.

Right now Ted Cruz leads in one place in all five states... Baltimore. That is sure to change but pretty funny.
