Donald Trump Solidifies His Lead (35-16-13) - NY Times
NY Times ^ | 12/10/2015 | NY Times

Donald J. Trump occupies his strongest position yet in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, yet nearly two-thirds of American voters say they are concerned or frightened about the prospect of a Trump presidency, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News nationwide poll.

Mr. Trump commands the support of 35 percent of Republican primary voters, leading his closest competitors, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas (16 percent) and Ben Carson (13 percent) by a more than 2-to-1 margin. While Mr. Carson's support was cut in half since the last time The Times and CBS News polled on the race in late October, Mr. Cruz has quadrupled his share. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida's support stands at 9 percent, with the rest of the candidates at 4 percent or less.

I believe his lead is larger. People reluctant to admit they will vote for him.

Historic blowout for Trump and the Slimes leads with negative spin. Why even ask that “concern” question unless you have an agenda.

Why post anything out of the nytimes. This is the mouthpiece of the left. This is Hilary’s propaganda machine. These pigs are raw Marxists.

--yet nearly two-thirds of American voters say they are concerned or frightened about the prospect of a Trump presidency--

Another stellar example of 'Yes, But' from the NY Times.

They are nursing some serious butt-hurt this morning.

I understand Americans who listen to George Clooney, Madonna, and CBCNBCABCPBS being concerned. That's what the Fall campaign is for - to neutralize their concerns.

The frightened ones? Good! They SHOULD be frightened.

For them, it's almost over.

Full Poll released tonight at 6:30

Trump 35
Cruz 16
Carson 13
Rubio 9
Bush and the rest 4 or less

Trump + Cruz 51%
Trump + Cruz + Carson 64%

Nice to see Cruz moving up and passing Carson and Rubio. And all those $BushAdBucks apparently aren’t buying much.

Because it’s another in an endless serious of polls showing Trump Cruz and Carson blowing out the GOPe from a dedicated left wing source. For them to be ahead that much, things are really bad for the GOPe. You must not follow things on here too closely. Smh.

I’m waiting for the NYT to follow-up with a survey to find out how many are “concerned or frightened of a Hillary presidency.” I shouldn’t have to wait too long, should I?

Trump’s lead will increase. 65% of likely voters agree with the muslin ban and he owns that position alone.

The cowards were outmaneuvered and will have to fight for 35% of likely voters among themselves. They are finished.

Not sure I’ve ever seen a political poll that included “frightened” as a response. NYT is blazing new ground here...

Many people still getting their info from the radical liberal media: cbs, nbc, ABC and their spawn.

If the information you get is false or distorted then you arrive at faulty conclusions.
I listened to Dobbs, Varney and Hannity all strongly defend trump’s ‘pause while we fix this’ plan last night. All said it’s pretty much common sense.

Are you kidding? The Times LOVES to print this. Hillary is a sure thing to be elected next year. A third of the Republican party will never vote for anyone but Trump, and two-thirds of the Republican party will never vote for Trump.

It is anecdotal, but many people, mostly women I know like Trump. Will vote for him. They will not talk about it in a group for fear of being ridiculed. Still too PC. I expect this to change after he wins.
