He's the most-hated ever!

If reviled real estate magnate Donald Trump wins the GOP presidential nomination, he would be the most disliked candidate in the 32 years since polls existed on the topic, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

Trump has a whopping 67% unfavorable rating among all Americans — while nearly half of Republicans and GOP-leaning independent voters view him unfavorably.

“In terms of any domestic personality that we have measured, we’ve never seen an individual with a higher negative,” Democratic pollster Peter Hart told The Washington Post for Thursday’s article.

Other unpopular candidates since polls started collecting data on nominee unfavorability in 1984 haven’t even come close to the negativity toward Trump, according to Gallup poll data.

President George H.W. Bush is the only recent presidential candidate to inch toward Trump’s unpopularity in an election year. He received a 57% unfavorable rating during the 1992 race against Bill Clinton.

At a different point in the same race, Bill Clinton was disliked by 49% of all voters.

Then-Vice President Al Gore was unpopular with 52% of voters during the 2000 presidential race against George W. Bush, who eventually won the race after the Florida recount scandal.

While Trump has successfully riled up a passionate group of supporters helping him rake in delegates during the Republican primaries, his misogyny and fear-mongering continue to alienate him from the broader electorate, the new poll suggests.

Trump is viewed unfavorably by 75% of women — news that comes after the GOP front-runner sparred with Fox News Channel host Megyn Kelly, has attacked the physical appearance of rival Ted Cruz’s wife, and has said he would punish women who got abortions if the procedure were made illegal.

Al Gore had a 52% unfavorability reading as the Florida recount scandal dragged on during the 2000 presidential election against George W. Bush.

The billionaire blowhard polled worst among Hispanics — receiving an 85% unfavorable rating among that growing demographic. Hispanics, the poll found, are also most incensed by Trump’s plans to build a wall along the Mexican border.

Even among conservatives, evangelical Protestants and white men, the fuzzy-maned mogul was viewed unfavorably by at least 51%.

Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, got a lukewarm response from voters — receiving a 52% unfavorable rating in The Washington Post-ABC News poll, which covers the last three months of the campaign.

Cruz, second in the GOP polls, is unfavorably viewed by 51% of voters.

George H.W. Bush had a 57% unfavorability rating in the 1992 race against Bill Clinton.

On Thursday, Trump held a private meeting with RNC officials at the party’s DC headquarters. Trump tweeted he had a “very nice” meeting with RNC Chairman Reince Priebus during his visit, but did not elaborate on what was discussed.

“(Priebus) and Mr. Trump had a productive conversation about the state of the race. The Chairman is in constant communication with all of the candidates and their campaigns about the primaries, general election, and the convention,” the RNC said in a statement.

“Meeting and phone conversations with candidates and their campaigns are common and will increase as we get closer to November.”

Meanwhile, Trump could lose 50 delegates after he said Tuesday night at a CNN town hall that he would break his pledge and not support the GOP nominee should he fail to win at the convention.

The Republican Party in South Carolina — whose 50 delegates were awarded to Trump stemming from his victory in February — require candidates to make, and keep, the pledge in order to be on the state’s primary ballot, Time.com reported.

I don't believe this poll because how can a candidate who is doing well and drawing in voters from all types of groups be the most hated? This poll defies common sense and logic as does the one that came out recently about women. Look how many women that we know for a fact support Trump? All ages, all backgrounds, all races. I think some of the polls are conspired to come out in a way to fit the STOP TRUMP, NEVER TRUMP, ANYONE BUT TRUMP campaigns. It fits with "illegal aliens do jobs Americans won't do" and "free trade is good for America" lies', and defies all rationale when it's in play and facts once they're disclosed.

It may also mean that an unfavorable means simply that at the time of the call you weren't happy with his "tone" or "rhetoric" but you love everything else about him and vote for him. It could be that as well.

judy all the poll lie
