QU Poll: Half of USA voters embarrassed with Trump as president
Ted Cruz is closing in on Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump in a new national poll released Tuesday by Quinnipiac University.

If Florida Sen. Marco Rubio were the Republican nominee, the poll found that Clinton would win again, this time with 41 percent of the vote, while Rubio would garner 27 percent, with Trump taking 24 percent. Ted Cruz, now trailing only Trump in polls, “will be an interesting fight”.
And in hypothetical head-to-head matchups, Trump continues to fare poorly, with Clinton beating him by 7 points and Sanders doing so by 13 points. She’s beat Rubio by a single digit in a mock election, and she’d tie Cruz 44-44.
Bernie Sanders of Vermont, and 50 percent of American voters say they would be embarrassed to have Trump as president. However, 28% of Republicans also said they definitely would not support the billionaire real estate developer.
Republican voters view all the leading candidates favorably, but Trump and Bush have the highest negatives – 34 percent for Trump and 36 percent for Bush.
Loras College Poll Director Christopher Budzisz speculated that Cruz’s surge from 6.2 percent in October was helped by the endorsements of Iowa U.S. Rep. Steve King and the Family Leader President Bob Vander Plaats, “well-known and influential voices within the social conservative and evangelical base here in Iowa”.
Clinton had a 43 percent favorability rating in the survey, while 51 percent of respondents said they weren’t fond of her.
Fifty-three percent of voters did say Mr. Trump would do a better job handling the economy, compared to 43 percent for Mrs. Clinton.
The Quinnipiac poll has a margin of error of 4.4 percentage points. He’s still at four percent in the survey – the same positioning he had two month ago – and he’s lost six points of support since September.
Mr. Bush also had the worst net split among Republicans, with 37 percent reporting a favorable opinion and 52 percent reporting an unfavorable opinion.
