Forward this email to a friend April 18, 2016 Tune in to Meet the Press with Chuck Todd, Sundays on NBC News Welcome to The Lid, your afternoon dose of the 2016 ethos… Buffalo Bills coach Rex Ryan told reporters Monday that he would introduce Donald Trump at a rally taking place in the city later this evening. New York tabloid headline writers, you know there's only one option that will truly capture this moment: "Best Rex I've Ever Had!" Voters Just Not That Into 2016 Field Mon, 18 Apr 2016 21:44:00 GMT From NBC's Carrie Dann and Andrew Rafferty Here at The Lid, we occasionally kid about the preponderance of candidates who have run for president this cycle despite the fact that being the Leader of the Free World seems like it's maddeningly frustrating 99.9 percent of the time. But our latest NBC/WSJ poll outlines in pretty stark terms just what a grim task will likely lie ahead for the next president. Majorities of voters say they can't imagine themselves supporting the three candidates with the best chance at this moment of winning their party's nomination - Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. (Yes, fans John Kasich and Bernie Sanders, those candidates do fare marginally better, but nearly half of voters still say they can't picture themselves backing each man.) As our colleague Mark Murray writes, both Clinton and Trump have dismal favorability ratings among all voters and have been bruised badly even within their respective party's typical bases. And it's worth noting that the two candidates with a net favorable rating - Kasich and Sanders - would almost certainly see those numbers fall drastically if they were subjected to the scrutiny that comes with being a frontrunner. In a year of great uncertainty on both sides of the aisle, the survey gives us at least one thing we can probably count on: A very divisive presidency, no matter who holds the job next. So..
