In the last two weeks, Republican frontrunner Donald Trump has won more delegates in primaries and caucuses, even while his opponents have launched new attacks and questions have been raised about his supporters. The week’s Economist/YouGov Poll finds Trump still at the top of GOP voters’ preference with a wider lead, while Florida Senator Marco Rubio seems most damaged by the two weeks of attacks and counter-attacks.

I think it’s a great big old tease, because the WSJ/NBC polls are always (ahem) outliers, IOW, cooked.

I don’t think that Rush is consciously a GOPe supporter. On the other hand it astounds me that he doesn’t even question whether Ted or Marco could be stealth GOPe candidates.

Interesting poll, not sure how productive it would be to base much confidence in it.

One of the characteristics of the panel selection was, for example, religious identification. They did not include any verification of their panel selection choices (IE: if they chose 22% of the panel members as they self identified as being Catholic when picking the panel, they did not include the question ‘what is your religious affiliation (if any)?’

Self verification of panel selection, I would think, would be a key to the methodology as results were specifically stated to be weighted based upon panel choice. Perhaps they simply chose not to include such results in their detailed data, or they just didn’t ask the question.

It does make me question the whole results, however.

Impossible. I have it on good authority that St. Rafael of Winnipeg is surging because Trump is a violent thug.

Done with Limbaugh

Yea Limbaugh is an idiot. Thanks to him and “operation chaos” Obama was able to make it out of the primaries against Hitlery. Obama has proved to be the very worst thing for America in the history of the country. Thanks Limbaugh you twit.

He should widely distribute the video from yesterday’s rally in Bloomington where the LEGAL Mexican immigrant came on stage to support Trump. The LEGAL immigrant was nearly brought to tears by being on stage with Trump and getting to tell his story.

It was very moving & clearly shows the difference between people who legally immigrate to America to become American citizens and those who jump the border to take America back to Azatlan.

If more people saw the video he would be well over 50%.

"This is the first time Trump has garnered the support of a majority of Republican primary voters nationwide. YouGov's February 24-27 survey marked his previous high, at 44% support."

Heard that. I noticed he didn’t counter with any factual nuggets. LOL.

Cruz is DC insider and everyone knows it.
