All eyes are on the Democrats’ side of the equation going into their first presidential candidate debate next week, but Donald Trump remains an odds-on favorite among Republicans.
The latest Rasmussen Reports Trump Change national telephone survey finds that 58% of Likely Republican Voters believe “The Donald” is likely to end up as their party’s presidential nominee in 2016, with 24% who say it is Very Likely. Thirty-seven percent (37%) say a Trump nomination is unlikely, including 14% who feel it’s Not At All Likely. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
These findings are basically unchanged from a week ago when Trump rebounded from a recent low among GOP voters of 52% who said he is the likely nominee. A high of 66% predicted that in early September, but only 27% of Republicans felt a Trump nomination was likely when he formally announced his candidacy in mid-June.
Among all likely voters, 48% think Trump is likely to win the Republican nomination; 47% consider that outcome unlikely. This includes 18% who say it is Very Likely and another 18% who believe it is Not At All Likely. This, too, is essentially the same as last week’s findings.
Since the last survey, Trump has said gun control is not the answer to incidents like the recent college shooting in Oregon and has announced his opposition to bringing any Syrian refugees to the United States.
GOP voters overwhelmingly oppose stricter gun control laws. Fifty-nine percent (59%) of Republicans – and 49% of all voters – say the government should not allow any refugees to come here to help Europe deal with the Middle Eastern migrant crisis it is now facing.
The survey of 1,000 Likely U.S. Voters was conducted on October 6-7, 2015 by Rasmussen Reports.

I was polled in this survey, Trump was the only candidate mentioned.
That statement is an out and out LIE.
You NEVER heard Rush Limbaugh say, imply, infer, that Ted Cruz cannot win.
PISS OFF.
You make me feel better. Thanks
HOORAY Trump
I told family and some co-workers, “Remember this day August 9, 2015”, “It’s over”, “Trump is the next President”.
Moms should always be listened to.
The general would be the easy part for Trump. He has a lot of crossover support.
Bwahahahahaha
Did you see this? Lanny Davis on Biden and others...Very graphic...

“...whether Joe Biden is a threat (he’s seen as a “buffoon”)...”
You joined up today to tell us you 'don't care'? Do you sense the contradiction? It feels liberal...
You too ? Thought I was the only one. Hahaha.
The silent majority is devious and those trying to manipulate us haven’t got a glue
OTOH. Everyone needs to spread the word we know about voter fraud
They were t electable, now, were they?
For all the circular firing squad talk on this site, going back as far as I can remember, I am shocked at the support for the blowhard Trump. IT’S ALL AN ACT, FOLKS!
Can someone tell me when Trump became a conservative Republican?
We do not know that cruz cannot win but we do in fact know that Trump is no conservative
Well his family qualified as such before Reagan appointed his sister , a friend and colleague of Sam Alito to the federal bench. That was about the time he attended the national RNC convention. Pictures have been posted numerous times
I joined in May, but I have been reading posts here since the Clinton years and I know many of you all from the Clinton years.
I never had extra money to join. I know you don’t have to contribute, but I didn’t feel right about posting until I could. As expected I have been told I am a noobie, and I can handle that. I received seven replies to my remarks in this case, and five of them were positive and I appreciate that. The other two replies were...well, one called me a liar and told me to PISS OFF, and you’re implying I am a liberal. OKAY, I get the message. I was going to leave and then I thought of the other five posts and decided that when the ratio is reversed and I get five POs and two supports, then I’ll go. So, flame away...five POs will get rid of me.
I heartily agree with both your points.
Thanks, nathanbedford.
If we stop saying what we believe so as to not hurt someone's feelings, the energy of the place will die. That's the flip side... Anyhow, welcome from a fellow freeper.
It’s the internet.
There will always be people looking to get into a pissing match or attack others.
Take what you need and leave the rest.
