Trump Leads GOP Field, Fiorina Rises as Walker Fades (New Market Consult poll)

MorningConsult.Com ^ | 8/17/2015 | Reid Wilson

[DannyTN]

... A new Morning Consult survey of self-identified Republicans and Republican-leaning independents shows Trump maintaining his standing at 32 percent, far ahead of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R), who earns 12 percent of the vote. ...

[DannyTN]

Trump still at 32%. Not much change in most from last week.

See graph at site.

[Democrat_media]

Fiorina is at 4%

And she’s in the headline

Clearly they are trying to help FioRINO so she attacks Trump

[Red Steel]

The Scribbler class have to try harder to get Trump. Maybe if they scribble in red and get more ink.

[Tulane]

Please explain how someone who gave to Clinton, invited her to his wedding, advocated single payer health care, and was a registered democrat 3 years ago is not a rino.

Not much change in most from last week.

10 point bump now that he has his immigration plan out ...

[DannyTN]

I don’t think so. The reason Walker and Fiorina made the headline is the impact on their debate positions. Walker’s fall to 3% means he will be second tier in the next debate. While Fiorina’s rise to 4% means she could make the top ten.

good questions..

Well, for one, the word “Republican” no loner has any meaning.

The GOP has no one to blame but themselves for the rise of Trump’s candidacy.

[Democrat_media]

Ridiculous. that “rise” is within the margin of error. most polls admit they have around a 3% margin of error

Business people do that all the time. It is good business sense. Does any business person want to be on the bad side of anyone in power? Like I said on another thread, people have to be nice to people on the way up because they just might see them on the way down.

[SamAdams76]

I'm not sure I can explain that but what I can explain is that we gave the establishment GOP the majority in both houses and they have done absolutely nothing to reverse the tide. Instead, they go along with Obama and in choosing ¿Jeb Bush as their standard bearer, they appear to be clearing a path for another Democrat president in 2016.

So while the other candidates may claim to be more conservative then Donald Trump, they are all talk and no action.

What has the GOP majority done for us?

[Tulane]

Business people advocate for single payer healthcare and register as democrats? Oh really?

[BRL]

Trump is a rino. But trump is our rino

[arrogantsob]

Perhaps you are not aware that people change their views. Or that the end of the thirties showed the Republicans and many Democrats opposed to resisting Hitler or Japan. After 12/7/1941 almost all their views changed by 180 degrees.

The damage of Illegalism is getting worse and Trump has seized the main issue of the day and it has struck a chord among people across the board.

[DannyTN]

10 point bump now that he has his immigration plan out ...

I hope so, he will get some, but I doubt that much.

But I like the process so far. If he can raise the discussion level on an issue like he did on immigration. Follow that up with a detailed policy paper that wow's. He will do several things.

1. He will dominate the news.
2. He will set the agenda.
3. He will shine a spot light on one issue at a time.
4. He will deliver a detailed plan on each issue that sends his naysayers claiming he has no substance scattering with their tail between their legs and their feet in their mouth.
5. He will make it hard for any of his competition, GOP or Rat, to get an alternative plan talked about.

[Tulane]

Ted Cruz? Scott Walker? Both of those two are ten times the conservative trump is.

Single payer healthcare. Donald is for it. Good grief even Speaker Boner hasn’t advocated for that.

I don’t know why Fiorina didn’t run as a Democrat. I actually have nothing against her personally but she’s just not a good fit for the GOP.

[Democrat_media]

ALL politicians are owned by big donors, lobbyists and foreign interests

That's why that out of those running only Trump is saying “deport all illegals” which is the solution to saving America.

So you don't want to deport illegals, you want a socialist state , you want illegals to destroy America

Politicians have never done anything conservative at the federal level as in passing a conservative law(out of those running).but politicians have aided the Obama liberal anti-American agenda as in the Iran deal, Obama trade etc

You soros paid bot

Americans don't trust politicians.
