Most Republicans Are Embarrassed by the Campaign

A new New York Times/CBS News poll finds that broad majorities of Republican primary voters view their party as divided and a source of embarrassment and think that the campaign is more negative than in the past.

“The dismay has not set back their leading candidate, however. While about four in 10 Republican voters disapprove of how Donald Trump has handled the violence at some of his rallies, Mr. Trump has also picked up the most support recently as several rivals have left the race. Forty-six percent of primary voters said they would like to see Mr. Trump as the party’s nominee, more than at any point since he declared his candidacy in June.”
