Trump held 23.3 percent of votes compared to former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's 16.5 percent and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's 11 percent
New poll results show that businessman Donald Trump has widened his lead over the other GOP presidential contenders in Illinois.
Victory Research, a political consulting firm, surveyed 801 "likely Republican primary voters" in Illinois from Aug. 16-18, and many of them chose Trump as their candidate.
Trump held 23.3 percent of votes compared to former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's 16.5 percent and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's 11 percent.
Rounding out the top six in the poll are neurosurgeon Ben Carson (5.5 percent), Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (5 percent) and former Hewlett Packard executive Carly Fiorina (4.6 percent). Less than one-fifth of those surveyed (17.9 percent) said they were still undecided.

If the ever-lying, self-EXEMPT GOP wants ANY votes,
they must all take an Oath to
defend Trump and go after Obama.
Trump leads in every state and now he’s going to Alabama tonight to speak to 40,000 in a stadium. I’m thinking he leads in Alabama as well.
FWIW, according to a survey that came out yesterday, Kasich leads in OH, but has just about zero support in adjacent states.
True, but Kasich only leads by 6 points. I think it was 27-21.
You're right. It was 27-21. I suspect it doesn't mean much if they polled a group of "active Republicans" or something like that. The party elite in OH run their own show. It's why OH doesn't get Republicans in state and national office and even all judge nominations that represent anything but elite big donor values.
Around here anyway, a lot of people really despise that Kasich has starved local budgets. I suspect that when the primary comes around, a lot of apathetic voters will show up to lodge a mad-as-hell protest vote.
Boy Rove had better get busy or he will be out of a job soon
Illinois has Republicans?
Last week poll Trump 30 Jeb 15 Doc Carson 11 in Alabama.
27-22 in a Quinnipiac poll. Regular poll o registered republicans and Republican leaning inds. Released yesterday..
Poll Head To Head on Real Clear Politics, broken link, MICHIGAN, Over Hillary, Trump +1, Jebby +1 Rubio +9... When I find the correct link I will post a thread unless someone beats me to it. Trump ahead with Registered voters in MI? Good night Hillary.
Outside of Chicago there are quite a few. Hell, we just elected a Republican governor, a very savvy businessman who had never held political office. If you discount Chicago, Illinois is a red state. Just look up the county-by-county results of the 2012 election, and the state is almost a solid red.
