Poll: Trump Reaches 50 Percent Support Nationally for the First Time
NBC News ^ | APR 26 2016 | HANNAH HARTIG, JOHN LAPINSKI and STEPHANIE PSYLLOS

Posted on 04/26/2016 3:45:11 AM PDT by Mensius

Donald Trump has reached 50 percent support from Republicans and Republican-leaners nationally for the first time since the beginning of the NBC News|SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll in late December. This milestone is significant as the 2016 primary heads into its final few weeks of contests, as there has been intense speculation that Trump's support has a ceiling. Though his support has hovered in the high 40s since mid-March, the front-runner had yet to secure half of Republican voters.

These results are according to the latest NBC News|SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking poll conducted online from April 18 to April 24 of 10,707 adults aged 18 and over, including 9,405 registered voters.

When I signed on with Trump, I sent him an email telling him not to break my heart. It had been years since I actively participated in politics and I was bitter and angry over W and his second term.

I can’t imagine how they feel, and I think he is a piece of garbage for using them the way that he did.

I hope they do not do what I did and sit out the next ten years. Nobody wins if they do.

After tonight there will absolutely be zero path to 1237 for Cruz even for the most diehard Cruz supporters.

The question becomes for each of us, “Will we take a chance on Trump, or will we rip apart a chance to unify the forces opposing the socialists?”

I say take a chance on Trump so this is settled now. Trump is NOT a socialist. He is a capitalist. That is undeniable.

Cruz is the male side of Hillary Clinton come to life. By virtue of their sleaze and nastiness, they could be brother and sister fraternal twins.

Democrat participation in the primary is down by millions, Republican participation in the primary is up by millions. Our leading candidate has 2 million more votes than Romney did at this stage in the election. It is not that hard to figure out. Why does the party leadership not seem to see that it is time to get behind the presumptive nominee? I am sure that after Cruz and Kasich get steam rolled tonight they will. /s

This guy is one of my favorite twitter accounts to follow.

Consistently hilarious. Close enough to Bill Kristol that you can never be sure where parody meets truth.

“But he could end up as the VP candidate.”

I think that is what he is shooting for even though I would hate to see him as VP.

“Cruz turned out to be such a phoney and an establishment stooge”

Only those who have their heads so far up Ted’s rear end are blind to it. I can now see why there are so many of his colleagues in the Senate who can’t stand him.

“Boy did the mask come off this election. So many have been exposed for the pestilence they represent.”

That is so true. I have been amazed by the actions of some who I have supported in the past. No more.

“I’m sure Rush & Levin will report with glee this poll. /S”

My money is on that Rush does not mention it. He will talk about some Apple product rather than talk about this poll.

I think Ted has a split personality between Eustice Haney and Elmer Gantry.
