[Edited on 5/1/2016 by Muleman1994]Not only do the vast majority of women dislike Trump, it has gotten a lot worse (not better) since he started campaigning last summer...
Seven in 10 Women Have Unfavorable Opinion of Trump
by Frank Newport and Lydia SaadStory Highlights:
- Trump has a 70% unfavorable and 23% favorable image among women
- Men also give Trump net negative rating, but it is significantly better
- Trump's gender gap is larger than any other major candidate'sPRINCETON, N.J. -- Donald Trump's image among U.S. women tilts strongly negative, with 70% of women holding an unfavorable opinion and 23% a favorable opinion of the Republican front-runner in March. Trump's unfavorable rating among women has been high since Gallup began tracking it last July, but after rising slightly last fall, it has increased even further since January.
These monthly averages are based on interviews with more than 3,600 U.S. adults rating Trump as well as the other major candidates in the race each month as part of Gallup Daily tracking.
Trump's image is also more negative than positive among men. As a result, his overall image is the most negative of any of the five remaining major candidates from both parties who are running for president. Still, men are not nearly as negative toward Trump as women are. The gap between his favorable and unfavorable rating among men averaged 22 percentage points in March 1-28 interviewing, compared with a 47-point gap among women.
Since last year, Trump's net favorable rating (% favorable minus % unfavorable) among all adults nationally has worsened, to -35 in March from -17 in August. But despite a nearly constant string of controversies that raise questions about Trump's attitudes toward and treatment of women, the decline in his image among men has been similar to that among women.
One possible explanation for Trump's better image among men is that men overall are more likely to identify as Republicans, while women are more likely to identify as Democrats.
But attitudes toward Republican candidates Ted Cruz and John Kasich belie this partisan explanation, given that men and women nationally have similar views of each of these two candidates. Cruz's image tilts about equally negative among both genders, while the two genders view Kasich equally positively. Cruz's image has become much more negative among both men and women over the past two months, but generally in lock step. The one-point difference in his net favorable rating between men (-15) and women (-16) in March is on par with the average four-point difference seen since July.
Hillary Clinton, like Trump and Cruz, is viewed more negatively than positively by both men and women, though of these two, women are far less negative. This likely reflects the basic female gender skew among Democrats and that Clinton is the only female candidate in the race. Clinton's stronger performance among women than among men has been a constant over the past nine months. Her average net favorable rating has been 21 points higher among women than among men, close to her current 17-point gap in March.
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has a better image among women than among men, although with a smaller gap than is the case for Clinton.
Trump's Gender Gap Mostly Among Republicans
Most of the gender gap in views of Trump is a result of Republicans' views, with ratings of Trump much more positive among Republican men (61% favorable, 36% unfavorable) than among Republican women (49% favorable, 46% unfavorable). Among Democrats, men and women are more united in their dislike of the candidate, with high unfavorable ratings of Trump among both groups.
Bottom Line
There was a sizable gender gap in Americans' views of Trump as early as last July. But even as his overall image has worsened among both genders in recent months, the size of the gender gap has been fairly steady. Trump's "woman problem" has come into sharper focus this week with his latest high-visibility comments about women and abortion. It is too early to measure what effect those comments may be having on his image. But even before these remarks, fewer than one in four women viewed him favorably, suggesting he may already be down to a core of rock-hard supporters whose opinions aren't likely to change.

Rasmusson was among the most poorly performing polls during the last two presidential elections, both with a heavily Republican bias. In the 2008 election, they missed by an average of 5.9%. In 2012 they missed by an average of 3.7%. How exactly does this make them the most respected national poling organization? Who exactly is respecting them? Dumb people looking for somebody who agrees with them regardless of their poor performance maybe? You might respect them because you don't pay attention to facts, but they can't hide from their terrible track record (at the bottom or close to the bottom) during the last two presidential elections.

BTW - The mainstream media publishes Rasmussen polls regularly and more than any other polling organization.
Nice try. You are failing just like obama.If Obama is a failure, then Rasmussen must be wrong, because according to their poll, he has a positive job approval rating. Ha ha

Send your bill for Lukes C-note to your liberal numbers whizzz, Nate Silver. Wonder if he put his money on any of his Trump predictions.
The biggest opposition to Trump is coming from, drum roll please,
US Senator Chris Murphy has attacked Donald Trump, the Republican Party’s presumptive presidential nominee, saying Trump would leak classified intelligence if he thought he could gain political advantage.
“He wouldn’t think twice of taking classified information and putting it out in the public realm if he thought it served his political purposes," Murphy, the junior senator from Connecticut, told BuzzFeed on Thursday. Murphy, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said he is seriously concerned with the prospect of Trump having access to sensitive intelligence information.
Analysts say the full truth about the 9/11 Zionist coup d’état in the United States is probably too politically explosive for Trump to ever tell since it would destabilize the US political system.
American scholar Dr. Kevin Barrett, a founding member of the Scientific Panel for the Investigation of 9/11, told Press TV earlier this year that if the Republican presidential front-runner did that he would be immediately shut down and taken out physically or attacked quite brutally in the media.
“Donald Trump is getting a little bits and pieces of truth, but the full truth probably is too politically explosive for Donald Trump to ever tell – not that it would help him politically to tell it, because he would be immediately shut down and taken out—whether physically, by being killed, which certainly could happen, or by being attacked quite brutally in the media,†he said.
Trump reportedly told his supporters on February 17, “Elect me and you’ll really find out who really knocked out the Twin Towers.†“But it wasn’t the Iraqis, you will find out who really knocked down the World Trade Center. Because they have papers in there that are very secret, you may find it’s the Saudis, okay? But you will find out,†he added.
[Oh boy, he wants people to FIND OUT who did it. Ohhhhh boy. Problem is, he might not be correct in his assumption; I do not think the Saudi regime did it, the people who DID do it are terrified of it coming out, which is why there is a lot of opposition to him getting access to "sensitive intelligence information". Even Osama originally said "the US should look within it's own borders to find who is dissenting against it" and "I have no connection with this explosion". Then when he was named as the one who did it, he decided to give the world the Arabic version of 'you sons a bitches, you gonna accuse me, okay, I'll use your accusation to show you how much the Muslim world hates you, I'll rally all the Muslims and unite them, then you will see what I can do'. That's what I think happened. ]
"Steven D Kelley, a former CIA/NSA contractor, told Press TV in March that the entire US establishment is plotting to defeat Trump, because the maverick billionaire poses a threat to the New World Order.
He added that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton “is the favorite of the New World Order.'
DID Y'ALL GET THAT? MS. HILLARY IS A FAVORITE OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER.
So true Gina! Soooo true.
This scares the hell out or me. Trump needs to look at what happened to Zimbabwe to see how this will work out:
Donald Trump just made a new mess while walking back his controversial plan for US debt
Andy Kiersz, provided by Business Insider
Donald Trump on Monday said it was "crazy" to think he would try to negotiate his way out of full repayment of government bonds — despite what he suggested last week — but he did suggest another potentially alarming option for debt management.
"First of all, you never have to default because you print the money," the presumptive Republican presidential nominee said on CNN.
This is true, but as with trying to get bondholders to take a haircut, it's out of the economic mainstream.
Last Thursday, Trump suggested on CNBC that he would be able to reduce the national debt by persuading creditors to accept a "haircut" on that debt, in which case creditors would be repaid less than the face value of US Treasury bills and bonds. For example, a Trump administration might repay $80 of a $100 bond to the bond's holder.
"I've borrowed knowing that you can pay back with discounts," he said. "I would borrow knowing that if the economy crashed, you could make a deal."
Such a proposal, implying that the US would not fully pay back its debts, was immediately condemned in the finance world.
US government debt is widely viewed as one of the safest available investments. So the idea of investors' receiving less than they were promised by the most powerful government in the world would almost certainly dramatically increase interest rates in the US and would very likely set off a global recession, experts said.
In a Monday interview on CNN's "New Day," as Trump attempted to clarify his plans for the national debt, he said the US would never default on its obligations because it printed money (emphasis added):
If interest rates go up, and we can buy bonds back at a discount, if we are liquid enough as a country, we should do that. In other words, we can buy back debt at a discount. People said I wanted to go and buy debt and default on debt, these people are crazy. This is the United States government. First of all, you never have to default because you print the money, I hate to tell you.
Trump started out his answer by claiming that he never intended to offer creditors an actual haircut, but instead to have the government purchase a large amount of debt in the event of a crash in US debt prices. But whether that would work is questionable, as the government would need to somehow finance that debt purchase with other debt, as noted by The New York Times' Binyamin Appelbaum.
But then Trump made an interesting point: One of the ways in which government debt is very different from privately held debt is that governments that control their own currencies, such as the US government and the US dollar, have the power to print money at will.
The Federal Reserve, through its open-market operations of buying and selling US Treasury debt, has the ability to increase the overall monetary base — it can print money. Indeed, through programs like quantitative easing, it has done so somewhat extensively during the past several years.
Printing money to relieve the national debt, however, would probably be disastrous. It would most likely precipitate a huge amount of inflation, causing prices to rise very quickly and wreaking havoc on the economy.
In 2013, Neil Irwin laid out several problems with paying debt by printing money and causing inflation. In The Washington Post, he noted that the cost of social-insurance programs like Medicare and Social Security, the biggest projected drivers of future deficits, could not be inflated away (emphasis added):
But for each of those programs, inflation wouldn't solve the government's financial problems. It would make them worse (to put it in the technical language, they are real obligations, not nominal obligations). In other words, if the Fed becomes feckless and allows double-digit inflation to take root, the cost of medical care will rise by double-digits too (or even faster, if the pattern of recent decades holds up). Social Security payments are indexed to inflation; that policy could be changed, but any politician who tried to freeze Social Security (particularly at a time of high inflation) would surely find gray-haired armies of angry seniors in their office making their dissatisfaction known.
So Trump's observation that it's theoretically possible for the government to avoid default by printing money is technically true. But any actual implementation of that plan would likely be as big of a mess as his initial plan of offering an overt haircut to creditors.
So Trump's observation that it's theoretically possible for the government to avoid default by printing money is technically true. But any actual implementation of that plan would likely be as big of a mess as his initial plan of offering an overt haircut to creditors.
The government has always manipulated the currency and economy. it has to given the circumstances of global finance. The idea that Donald can do deals to avoid a looming fiscal crash is an example of his tenacity and willingness to roll up his sleeves and do what needs to be done, not just run to Congress and ask them to approve more Quantitative Easing! Anything that involved haircuts however would probably be off the table, given the nature of his coif. Though it has been looking better lately.
The debate with Britains oh so sexy Prime Minister, David Cameron continues.
BUT
The British have invited Trump to come over and meet the new Muslim Mayor's family. London's new mayor Sadiq Khan has invited US presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump to visit the UK and meet his family in a bid to end their ongoing feud about his plan to ban all Muslims from America. "On your programme I invite Donald Trump to come to London. Meet my wife and my daughters. Meet my friends and my neighbours" - Sadiq Khan

Remarks: Allah is using politics to bring the one man who will help the Muslims against the anti-Christ and his minions, Donald Trump. How can that be when Donald doesn't know anything about Islam? He will have to learn, because he will be entrusted with a great responsibility to lead a nation. This year the Night of Power in Islam falls on Independence Day. Right after that is the Republican Convention July 18-July 21st.

On the Orlando, Florida nightclub shooting, Trump had this to say:
Hours after the deadly shooting, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump called on President Barack Obama to “immediately” resign from office and suggested Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton should suspend her White House bid over the issue.
"If Hillary Clinton, after this attack, still cannot say the two words 'radical Islam' she should get out of this race for the Presidency,” Trump said in a statement on Sunday.
“Well, the so-called presidential race, which is really Roman bread and circuses, because the United States is not a democracy. It is dumb down to the point that the American people are at about the intellectual levels of maggots, worms, at this point. As New Postman wrote amusing ourselves to death: ‘Television has destroyed the American mind completely. There’s no longer enough critical thought left in the country to have a function democracy,” Dr. Barrett said.
“And the latest example of this is Donald Trump telling Obama to resign and Hillary Clinton to pull out of the race, because they won’t condemn Islam for the false flag nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida, which was obviously conducted by the enemies of Islam, not by Muslims,” he said.
“You don’t know whether to laugh or cry over this kind of thing. One thing is though true, Trump is right: Hillary should pull out of the race. Obama should resign and Trump should go dig a hole and lie down and shoot himself in the head because he is too stupid to live. All of these people are either too stupid or too evil to live,” he stated.
“We’re living in a world of Orwellian deception in which these slaughters and in some cases fake slaughters, because in some cases these are theatrical events, nobody even dies. In this case, I don’t know whether or not 50 people really died in Orlando, but one thing I can promise you – at the stake of my life on – is that one former security guard did not kill 50 people. They did not happen. There’s no way that happened,” the analyst noted.
“A not very competent individual – by all reports – actually succeeded in killing 50 people by himself, this is ludicrous. Anyone who believes this again I say is too stupid to live,” Dr. Barrett said.
“We do have reports from Orlando that somebody had barbed doors and prevented people from leaving while the shooting was going on as Roberts David Steal, the former CIA clandestine services officer, who himself organized and orchestrated the false flags – he is whistleblower now, he says if they go down and measure the bullet trajectories as you’re supposed to do with any kind of shootings, it would be very, very likely that they would find multiple weapons were used,” he said.
“And none of those weapons were recovered, because these were black water people, mercenaries to slaughter people, and then it gets laid on patsy as public relations stunt. That’s what happened in Orlando. Anyone actually who believes these stories they are getting from the media is a lunatic,” Dr. Barrett observed.

Excerpts
I don’t want them in our country.
I want us all to work together, including in partnership with our Muslim communities. But Muslim communities must cooperate with law enforcement and turn in the people who they know are bad – and they do know where they are.
I want to fix our schools, roads, bridges and job market. I want every American to succeed. Hillary Clinton wants to empty out the Treasury to bring people into the country that include individuals who preach hate against our own citizens.
I want to protect our citizens – all of our citizens.
The terrorist attack on the Pulse Night Club demands a full and complete investigation into every aspect of the assault.
America must do more – much more – to protect its citizens, especially people who are potential victims of crimes based on their backgrounds or sexual orientations.
It also means we must change our foreign policy.
America must unite the whole civilized world in the fight against Islamic terrorism, just like we did against communism in the Cold War.
We've tried it President Obama's way. He gave the world his apology tour, we got ISIS, and many other problems, in return.
I'd like to conclude my remarks today by again expressing our solidarity with the people of Orlando who have come under attack.
When I am President, I pledge to protect and defend all Americans who live inside of our borders. Wherever they come from, wherever they were born, all Americans living here and following our laws will be protected.
America will be a tolerant and open society.
America will also be a safe society.
We will protect our borders at home.
We will defeat ISIS overseas.
We will ensure every parent can raise their children in peace and safety.
We will make America rich again.
We will make America safe again.
We will make American Great Again.
Thank you.
