“New poll: Trump 22, Bush 15, Walker 12. We did NOT see Trump’s numbers decline after his attacks on McCain -”
Wilson wrote about details of the survey, including an important observation that Trump has gained support from an earlier poll taken this month, passing Jeb Bush who has lost support.
“The Morning Consult survey, conducted July 17 through July 20 among 1,978 registered voters, includes a subsample of 754 self-identified Republican and Republican-leaning voters who say they will participate in the party’s presidential nominating contest, for a margin of error of plus or minus 3.6 percentage points.
“There is no evidence that Trump’s numbers have slumped after comments he made questioning Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) war record. Though most of the rest of the Republican field — and even the Republican National Committee — loudly criticized Trump after he made the comments on Saturday morning at an event in Iowa, voters interviewed afterward weren’t any less likely to say they support him.
“In fact, Trump has gained ground since a Morning Consult poll earlier this month, when he trailed Bush by a 19 percent to 17 percent margin. This week Trump is the second choice of 12 percent of voters, behind Bush’s 18 percent.”
The poll shows Trump’s favorable/unfavorable opinion with Republican voters at 49 percent favorable to 41 percent unfavorable.
A Washington Post-ABC News poll released on Monday that only had one day of polling post-Iowa had Trump at 24 percent. Walker was second at 13 percent and Jeb Bush third at 12 percent with the rest of the field below nine percent.

Despite Trump’s success, the GOP still can’t see the handwriting on the wall. GOP...HINT: People are PO’ed and fed up with your spineless, hand-wringing, appeal-to-all efforts. Grow a paid and start speaking for conservatives. Until that happens, you won’t see a dime from me.
Trump has inflicted heavy damage on most of the current GOP presidential wannabes; but I don’t think they are aware of that fact yet, given their rush to demonize The Donald.
He’s already smoked them out on immigration; and his comments on McCain demonstrated how willing the RINO candidates are to dance to the tune called by the media. In this, he has done a great service to thinking voters.
These are national numbers, not Iowa numbers.
EXCLUSIVE DETAILS: DONALD TRUMP HEADING TO TEXAS BORDER
"IT'S THE POLITICIAN WHO DOES WHAT OTHER ONES DO NOT!"
I she miss MSNBC flop Meghan "Piggy" Mc Cain is about to going on Fox & Friends to defend the old senile Senator.
“...I don’t think they are aware of that fact yet...”
Nope. Too busy worrying about what the Democrats will think of them if they agree with him.
Truth hurts.
McCain loves Clinton and Bush.
Bush loves Clinton and McCain.
Clinton loves McCain and Bush.
It’s all very sickening. On a grand scale.
Trump just on F&Friends. He is headed toward Mexican border to meet with our border guards. They’ve “honored him with an invite!”
Incredible isn’t it. It really shows the intellect they have which is virtually zero. They are so far up their own asses they can’t see for shtting “Whaaaat? Trump is in the lead? But I’m an elitist! How DARE he take the lead!” They are actually more insulted than enlightened.
About as RINO as it gets.
This is getting real serious now. I can see their heads spinning off of their shoulders. Their vindictiveness hasn’t worked. Their pleading for Rush to condemn Trump has not worked. Now what?
I guess they aren’t polling the talking heads and Washington “elite”.
I was not aware that John McCain was running for president.
proving nobody thinks McLame is a hero?
Neither was he in 2008.....
The campaign buzz is Yebbie and his Mexican wife were making a campaign ad....him and her in the kitchen making tacos, chatting in Espanola.
Now with Dynamic Donald giant-stepping over him and the rest of the 2016 wannabees...Yebbie is making other plans.
Rumor has it that Yeb is making an adult entertainment video of himself servicing illegals....entitled, "Acts of Love: Yeb does Juarez."
ANd BTW Getting captured by being incompetent is NOT heroic
