Romney's approval rating tanks after he attacks Trump

Wow. Sounds like the GOP rank and file like Trump more than the leadership does.

Mitt Romney’s reemergence this election cycle as a harsh critic of Donald Trump has been crippling for his favorability among Republican voters, a new poll shows.

Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, is seen as favorable by just 28 percent of Republican primary voters, according to a Public Policy Polling survey released Tuesday. A startling 62 percent of Republican primary voters view him unfavorably, the poll found, and 10 percent said they were not sure.

That net favorability of minus-34 percentage points is a dramatic drop from polling conducted prior to 2016. In January 2015, for example, Romney was seen positively by 52 percent of Republicans, according to a WSJ/NBC poll. As late as November 2015, 60 percent of Republicans saw Romney favorably, compared to 26 percent who saw him unfavorably, a Bloomberg poll found.

1. Seriously, he had an approval rating to tank?

Wonders never cease.

2. My thought as well.

Can you tank any further when you are already in the tank?
