Donald Trump has reached a new high in support for the Republican presidential nomination in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll, drawing on GOP support for his proposed ban on Muslims along with his powerful outsider credentials. Ben Carson has cratered, while Ted Cruz has advanced to join the double-digit club,but with Trump now unrivaled for the lead. That said, Trump slightly trails Hillary Clinton in a general election matchup, by 6 percentage points among registered voters, expanding to 13 points among all adults. And a broad 69 percent of Americans express anxiety at the thought of Trump as president, with half saying it makes them very anxious. Clinton makes far fewer anxious, albeit 51 percent.
Trump has 38 percent support for his partys nomination from Republicans and GOP-leaning independents who are registered to vote, up a slight 6 points from last month, entirely among men. He has added concerns about terrorism to his existing anti-immigrant, political outsider credentials; all pressing items in his party, but less so outside of it.

Trump is the democrats worst nightmare. That’s why they want him out of the race. If they weren’t scared of him they’d ignore him.
Trump is a wildcard. The DEMs are not sure what to expect. With Cruz, they know pretty much what to expect and how to campaign against him.
For the first time in a long time, I can’t tell who the liberal media hates most. Are they now pulling for Trump because the fear Cruz?
I think they have become irrelevant, FINALLY.
To answer my own question, I suppose that if Hillary has 37%, and Trump has 31%, and if EVERY undecided voter (32%) fears a Trump presidency, it could be true. But that also would mean that Hillary is well under 50%, in fact, not much above 33%.
When the media pulls for Trump, we’ll have a party at the Trump Grill in Trump Tower :)
Man I’ve had enough of the delusional Trump supporters on here.
The guy has supported national healthcare, abortion, a huge “wealth tax” which confiscated people’s money, crony ethanol subsidies, called Scalia a racist, showed support for Mitch McConnell against Cruz, but as long as he says he’ll build a wall and make the Mexicans pay for it you’re all in. You are being fooled!
Yes, I am a Cruz supporter.
New Poll....YUGE!!...ping!!
So how was that question asked:
Would you feel anxious about a Trump Presidency, yes or no?
And if that that blatant, did they ask that question about other candidates?
When’s the national primary?
How are they “pulling for Trump”? They’ve flooded every news outlet with Cruz’s outlier des Moines poll. And yes, it was an outlier. No other poll gave him anywhere near that kind of lead even in Iowa.
Anyway, press is all about Cruz taking the lead from Trump, not the other way around.
Oh, I’m not a necessarily a Trump supporter - I prefer Cruz, Fiorina, and even Christie. I was just wondering about the stats in that survey.
Okay. You don’t support Trump.
Trump supporters have had enough of the delusional CRuz supporters. How’s that? Turn about is fair play.
H1-B visas, conversations with those here illegally, TPA, PAC owned, etc, etc.
Actually, I think if the media were to start pulling for Trump, he'd lose support and be classified "establishment". But, if your buying, I'll show up.
LOL!!
Yawn.
Were the democrats fooled when they voted for Obama?
Did America quit when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
Trump supporters are not being fooled.
Go Trump!!
Keep on keeping’ on....to Make America great, again!!
We know who’s being fooled.....the PAC-MAN supporters.
