Trump Leads, Jeb Slips, Rubio Crashes In WSJ/NBC News Poll
Breitbart ^ | 8/3/15 | John Nolte

Posted on 08/03/2015 9:12:18 AM PDT by jimbo123

The latest poll from The Wall Street Journal and NBC News is all good news for Donald Trump and all bad news for former Florida governor Jeb Bush and Florida Senator Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL).

Since the last WSJ/NBC poll in June, despite a full-frontal media push to destroy him, billionaire businessman Trump has risen from just 1% to take the lead with 19%.

Bush, who was in first place in June, has not just been overtaken by Trump, his support has cratered from 22% to just 14%. Bush is now in third place behind Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, who sits at 15%. Back in June Walker was in second place with 17% support.

Hit the hardest between the two polls is Rubio, who fell from 3rd place in June to 8th place. Support for Rubio has slipped from 14% to just 5%.

But Jeb and the news crew/pundits were just saying they’re elated about Trump’s intrusion. All the better for them.....

Can’t stand Bush. If he is the nominee, I’m staying home.

Rubio seems to be gettin' the picture and is a commentator, Jeb is an asshole that like all Dems, won't let go nor admit to ANTTHING .. ever.

The lamestream will write about him up through 2018 ... like they did algore .... even though he (they) lost.

The full WSJ/NBC poll won't be released until today. In all the reporting (I've been able to locate), Walker's "My 2nd Choice" numbers are curiously absent.

Donald Trump Surges in New NBC News/WSJ Poll

"...Jeb Bush is the second choice of 16 percent of respondents, with Carson, Trump, and Rubio all winning the second choice spot from 11 percent of voters....."

Donald Trump Leads Republican Presidential Pack, WSJ/NBC Poll Finds

"......The new poll, whose full results will be released Monday, was based on a survey conducted July 26-30, after Mr. Trump made widely publicized controversial statements, such as when he disparaged former GOP presidential nominee John McCain.

The differences among the top-tier candidates are small enough that they are within the poll’s margin of sampling error. Still, the double-digit jump among Republicans picking Mr. Trump as their first choice—up from 1% in the June poll—was significant.

What’s more, Republicans who don’t see Mr. Trump as their first choice seem to be warming to him. The share of GOP voters who pick him as second choice rose to 11% in the new survey from 3% in June...."

Voters don't want "a path to citizenship" for lawbreakers/invaders! They want our immigration laws enforced and the border protected!

Why can't the professional politicians understand this? What's so hard to understand? (Although even if they eventually say, as the must to stay competitive, they understand ... no one -- especially me! will believe them!

That is beautifully stated, knarf! Your choice of words brings a smile and a laugh to my face this Monday morning, and I thank you kindly for that :)

Their little circle j&*k consultant class thinks voters are going to go with the ‘adult’ choice after flirting with all the low-brow riff-raff in the race. They are clueless dolts who think conservatives really loved Romney after all the others had their moment. They couldn’t read the situation worse. That field did not have a viable alternative. This one has at least 5 better choices than old 1990s Bush. We have at least four current two term governors, we have the newest party voices across the spectrum. Each is better prepared to operate in the new media environment than old, haggard Jebbie.

They’re counting on it, that you do.

From the poll news sponsors WSJ and NBC who loath Trump.

If Jeb is on the general ballot, I am not going to vote. I won’t vote for Senator Isakson or my Congressman, either.

Rubio debating Christy would be like Eddie Haskel debating John Candy.

The coolest thing in the whole wide world is the media losing the ability to force feed us our nominee.
