Trump At A New High: GOP Voters Love The New Yorker

Ted Cruz heading into Tuesday’s Republican presidential debate, according to new CNN Poll of Polls averages.

Also read: Ted Cruz is emerging as a leading alternative to Donald Trump.

The newest numbers show Trump with 27 percent of GOP primary voters nationally and Cruz at 22 percent.

Trump and Rubio will have a chance to take on Cruz, face to face, soon.

What’s more, this same poll found that almost two-thirds of Republican voters (65%) agree that Trump has the right temperament for the presidency.

“There’s never been any wisdom in taking on Donald trump and starting a fight with him”, King said.

Clinton has looked more competitive with Trump in head-to-head polls lately. This is an interesting development that comes at a time when Trump was hoping he had Iowa in the bag, going so far as to say that if they got Iowa, they will “run the table”.

By Sunday evening Trump still seemed miffed at Cruz, tweeting, “I was disappointed that Ted Cruz would speak behind my back, get caught, and then deny it. Well, welcome to the wonderful world of politics!”

While the national polling shows significant volatility, the Iowa poll results show even greater variation from poll to poll.

According to Fox News polls, Cruz garnered 28 percent support from likely Republican caucus-goers in Iowa, the first state to vote in the presidential nominating process.

In New Hampshire, a larger turnout means the task is somewhat easier, and the most recent polls are more closely aligned with each other.

Expect Cruz, Trump, and Rubio to all target each other when they debate for the final time in 2015, tomorrow night in Nevada.

But now Rubio, the young man in a hurry, has surged ahead of Bush and is positioned as a safer general election candidate to the party honchos than Cruz or Trump. You can’t walk into the Senate and scream and call people liars, and not be able to cajole and get along with people. For example: Donald Trump’s lead in a just-released Monmouth University poll has him towering over the competition as if you moved one of his skyscrapers to a corn field in Kansas.
