Donald Trump won’t self-fund his general-election campaign, and will instead create a “world-class finance organization,” the presumptive Republican nominee said in an interview on Wednesday. For a campaign expected to cost more than $1 billion, “I’ll be putting up money, but won’t be completely self-funding, as I did during the primaries,” Mr.
Trump said on Wednesday. The New York businessman, who did receive some mostly small unsolicited donations, lent his campaign $36 million of the $47 million he spent through March. That plan represents a shift for Mr. Trump, who has for months portrayed his Republican opponents as “puppets” for...

Donald Trump has largely foot the bill for his White House bid in the Republican primary, and should he land the GOP's nomination, despite what you've read, he might be able to pull off the same in the general election. On
the campaign trail, the real estate magnate has often boasted that he is self-funding his run, which is, more or less, true. His campaign has brought in $25.5 million as of January 31, 2016, $17.5 million of which came from a loan from Trump himself, according to data from OpenSecrets. He has also managed to run a rather frugal...

LAS VEGAS — Donald Trump on Saturday claimed most of the money he's been collecting at his recent fundraisers is going to the Republican Party, but also threatened to cut the GOP off if support from the party wavers. "Right
now I'm raising a lot of money for the Republican Party, and a lot of beneficiaries to that, and I like doing it," Trump said. "Life is like a two-way street, right?" Trump said. "They have to [help], otherwise I'll just keep doing what I'm doing, I'll just keep funding my own campaign…for me, that's the easy way," he said....

As he continues to slip in the polls, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is poised to begin airing his first television ads of the general election starting Friday in Florida, Ohio, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, according to a campaign adviser. The
upcoming ad buy was flagged with about 50 members of Congress in a conference call Tuesday afternoon with Mr. Trump’s campaign chairman Paul Manafort and two other staffers. Members were told the campaign would begin buying advertising more widely after Sept. 1. Mr. Trump, who frequently boasts that he beat several primary challengers who spent far more money than...

The campaign confirmed to CBS News that the ad buy is set for Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania -- traditional swing states that will play an important role in deciding a general election winner. The
ad campaign comes just as Trump has seen his support plummet in those battlegrounds in recent polls. According a CBS News survey out earlier this week, Clinton now leads Trump in Florida by five points (she led by just three points in June). And a RealClearPolitics (RCP) average of Pennsylvania polls finds Clinton leading Trump 49 percent to 40 percent. An RCP average of...

Donald Trump's political director, Jim Murphy, told House members that the campaign would focus on 17 states this fall, the Wall Street Journal reports. Included
are 12 states Barack Obama won in both 2008 and 2012 (145 electoral votes) and five states Mitt Romney won in 2012. Not in the list are extreme longshots like California and New York, states Trump has previously indicated would be competitive for him.

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Last night and Trump's press conference. Once
again he comes up with Planned Parenthood. He gets a question about Planned Parenthood, and he's not wavering from this. And people are misunderstanding what's happening. In the South Carolina debate I was taken aback when I saw Trump go on and on about Planned Parenthood. That was the debate where he accused Bush of knowing in advance of 9/11, knowing that there were no weapons of mass destruction, I mean, all this stuff that left-wingers say, the radical left wingers say, Trump's out there saying it, and then I...

I Like Donald Trump, But I Don't Think He Can Win A General Election

These days, people on the Right seem to be polarized: Either they think Donald Trump is a brilliant, unstoppable ball of winning or they believe he's the classiest, most luxurious demagogue to come along in decades. I
have a bit of a different take. I've read and enjoyed Donald Trump's books, he was nothing but gracious to me when we met, I have friends I like and respect a great deal who work for him and I even used a picture of the two of us together on the Christmas cards I sent out this year. Moreover, Trump's willingness to...

Donald Trump has collapsed in general election polls

Donald Trump loves to brag that he's ahead of Hillary Clinton in the polls. "I
beat Hillary Clinton in many polls," he repeatedly insisted at a debate earlier this month. Here on planet Earth, that isn't true or even close to true. In 33 general election polls tracked by HuffPost Pollster over the past two months, Trump has led Clinton in just one. Trump now trails Clinton by 9 points in the HuffPost Pollster polling average and by 11.2 points in RealClearPolitics' average — and he's behind Bernie Sanders by even more in both. Any of these showings from Trump...

Donald Trump Is Really Unpopular With General Election Voters
|
| |
FiveThirtyEight ^
| Jan 18, 2016 | Nate Silver
Contra Rupert Murdoch's assertion about Trump having crossover appeal, Trump is extraordinarily unpopular with independent voters and Democrats. Gallup polling conducted over the past six weeks found Trump with a -27-percentage-point net favorability rating among independent voters, and a -70-point net rating among Democrats; both marks are easily the worst in the
GOP field. (Trump also has less-than-spectacular favorable ratings among his fellow Republicans.)

Washington (CNN)—Since announcing his campaign in late June, Donald Trump has quickly leapt to the top of the Republican field, leading recent polls nationally, in Iowa and in New Hampshire. And now, for the first time in CNN/ORC polling, his gains among the Republican Party have boosted him enough to be competitive
in the general election. The poll finds Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton ahead of Trump by just 6 points, a dramatic tightening since July. Trump is the one of three Republican candidates who have been matched against Clinton multiple times in CNN/ORC polling to significantly whittle the gap between...

We've got an unpopular set of presidential candidates this year - Bernie Sanders is the only candidate in either party with a net-positive favorability rating - but Trump is the most unpopular of all. His
favorability rating is 33 percent, as compared with an unfavorable rating of 58 percent, for a net rating of -25 percentage points. By comparison Hillary Clinton, whose favorability ratings are notoriously poor, has a 42 percent favorable rating against a 50 percent unfavorable rating, for a net of -8 points. Those are bad numbers, but nowhere near as bad as Trump's. This is not just...
