Gallup: Cruz’s favorability rating plunges

By Jonathan Easley

Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-Texas) favorability rating has collapsed as the public has become more familiar with him, according to a Gallup survey released on Thursday.

The survey found that 26 percent have a favorable view of the Texas Republican, against 36 percent unfavorable. That makes 62 percent of the public that has an opinion on Cruz, up from 42 percent in June, when 24 percent had a favorable view of him against 18 percent unfavorable – a 16-point negative swing.

The Gallup poll comes on the heels of a Brigham Young University survey that found Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) losing favor in his home state. Lee has seen a 20-point negative swing in his favorability rating from the same poll in June, and now sits at 40 percent favorable and 51 percent unfavorable in Utah.

Lee and Cruz led the charge in provoking a government shutdown over the funding of ObamaCare. Both pushed House Republicans to withhold all government appropriations in an attempt to defund the president’s signature legislative achievement.

1. There are still plenty of idiots in Texas

who will vote for him. My friend who hangs out in the Woodlands area had to listen to a bunch of yabboes singing his praises at the next table at dinner. My friend was dining with a VP at UBS who was worried about the looming default.

3. Is this why he seems to be hiding from cameras lately? Luckily for us, there's plenty of video to..

remind the voters in 2016 that he's not a serious person, and definitely not of presidential timber.
