CBS News poll: Trump maintains commanding lead [2/12-2/16 Trump 35%, Cruz 18%, Rubio 12%]
CBS ^ | 02/18/2016 | Anthony Salvanto

Posted on 02/18/2016 4:44:57 AM PST by Greetings_Puny_Humans

....Forty-six percent of Republican primary voters say they have now made up their minds about whom to vote for, up from 35 percent last month. But Trump's supporters are surer about their choice: Two-thirds of Trump voters now say they have made up their minds. Among those supporting other candidates, the race is more fluid; two-thirds of them may still change their minds.

Trump's support cuts across nearly every demographic group in the Republican electorate. He holds a double digit lead among Republicans and independents, men and women, white evangelicals, and Americans of all income levels. He leads among Republican voters of all age and education levels, but does particularly well among voters without college degrees.

Trump also holds a double digit lead among moderates and those who describe themselves as somewhat conservative, and has a five point lead over Ted Cruz among very conservative Republican voters.

Do explain how Bernie Sanders is less evil than Trump.

And how sheep bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.

Seven in 10 Republican primary voters want a candidate who will shake up the system told Rubio, Kasich, and Yeb! to take a flying f--- at a rolling GOP-e doughnut.

Fixed that for CBS.

Grasp, meet straw.

This poll is PRECISELY in line with almost every other poll, including the Q poll and interestingly they ask the same questions and interestingly the answers are quite similar.

People are fed up with DC and anyone associated with DC whether they are "conservative" or not. They have no credibility. That would include Cruz and Rubio.

You can disagree on whether they do, but these polls are quite revealing. All these STUPID endorsements of politicians have been not only useless to Cruz and Rubio, but are actually damning them with association with "the problem."

In retrospect, if I was Cruz's campaign manager, I would have said, "whatever you do don't take and endorsement from ANY politician." Meanwhile Trump gets Palin---who was anything but an insider, and gets people like Kid Rock, etc. all "non pols." It only helps him.

Why did Trump....etc...
He was given the floor and talked about anyone and anything he wanted to
= = = = = = = = = = =
That is somewhat of a ‘no brainer’.

Ratings...

Like all the stations that carry R Limbaugh...They don’t have to ‘like’ him to enjoy the money they can ‘make’ off of him.

The NBC poll is clearly an outlier.

Thanks for the wonderful graphic.

Honestly I don’t know what sheep bladders have to do with earthquakes but as far as your other thing, Trump and Sanders are both liberals so “WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?”

But but but HOW can THIS be? Why our good and honest friend Rupert just told us Trump was falling and just barely ahead of Saint Ted.


And if you look at the anti-Trump articles posted here in FR, why, they are up by 100% over last month. That MUST mean Trump is losing!

(hahahahahahahahahahaha)

Ever notice how Cruz swaggers about taking on the Washington establishment?

When it came time to take on the Washington establishment over TPA, he worked with Paul Ryan to get it rolling, to get it on the floor for a vote, and then voted for it the first time. When his vote was no longer needed, he was allowed to vote against it.

When it came time to take on the Washington establishment over the Corker bill, he voted for it.

Ditto immigration (Cruz’s campaign manager says Cruz wants to expand immigration as of the December debate), H1-B visas, etc.
==
Accurate facts, but Cruzers never let facts get in the way of faith.

Doesn’t quite match up with the WSJ/NBC poll.

Then why did Trump get a segment on Fox & Friends each week for years?

He wasn't running for president then. They did not consider him a threat to the massive tax dollar skimming operation that has gone on in Washington for decades.

You paid propaganda bots are so easy to spot. Your postings are always so ridiculously moronic that no thinking person can take you seriously.


Undecided 2012 is on the same payroll as CW, who I am not pinging because I can never spell the stupid apostrophed name right.

And if Sanders gets in, it will be passed to MY kids as well to get rid of that pesky college debt. Thanks!! :)
