Most Republicans Embarrassed By Their Party's Campaign

This chart was made from a new CBS News / New York Times Poll. They questioned 388 likely Democratic voters and 362 likely Republican voters between March 17th and 20th, and the survey has a margin of error of about 6 points.

The poll shows that many Republicans are not happy with how their party's presidential campaign is going. Perhaps, most telling of all is the fact that 60% of Republicans say they are embarrassed by their party's campaign (while only 13% of Democrats say that about their own party's campaign).

And that's not the only troubling number for Republicans. About 88% say their party is divided (while only 33% of Dems say that), only 51% have a favorable opinion of their party (while 82% of Dems like their party), only 51% of Republicans have a favorable view of their frontrunner (while Dems have a 61% favorability), and 58% of Republicans say their party's presidential campaign has been more negative than in the past (while only 9% of Dems say that about their party's campaign).

What do these numbers tell us. I believe it signals that while the Democrats seem ready to unify for the November election, the Republicans are not. They are going to have a lot of trouble unifying behind either Trump or Cruz.
