Donald Trump is blowing away the rest of the GOP field
Among the 414 registered voters surveyed who identify as Democrats or Democratic-leaning independents, the margin of error is plus or minus 5 percentage points.
U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump addresses the crowd during a campaign rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, December 21, 2015.
The latest figures put Trump at 35.1 per cent support in the much followed RealClearPolitics.com polling average, his highest mark yet. And yet, Republicans say by 47-44 that they want to see the next President support policies to combat climate change.
Among all Americans, Mr. Trump had a 39 percent favorability rating, with 57 percent having an unfavorable opinion. The Quinnipiac survey, something of an outlier among polls, gave Trump a lead of only 28-24 percent over Cruz.
Seventy-three percent of young voters aged 18-34 said they would feel “embarrassed” compared with 13 percent who said they would feel “proud”.
A new CNN/ORC poll shows Trump at 39 percent with Republicans, Cruz at 18 percent, Carson at 10 percent and Rubio at 10 percent.
At first, Clinton’s campaign declined to comment directly on Trump’s “schlonged” comment, although Jennifer Palmieri, the campaign’s communications director, said soon after that “everyone who understands the humiliation this degrading language inflicts on all women” should respond to the brash billionaire. If there was anything else conducted after the last debate, it will likely be released before the close of business today, but it’s unlikely that we’ll see anything tomorrow, and there’s most likely not going to be any polling conducted during the week between Christmas and the start of the New Year. The Florida senator and his campaign have aggressively sought to show he and Cruz have similar positions on immigration, which Cruz has dismissed as an attempt to muddy the waters.
“Clinton as a Democratic nominee now loses, to the extent there is one, the left inside the Democratic Party electorate, and particularly with Bernie Sanders running, depending on what he tells his people to do at the end of the day, and to the extent they’re ready to listen at that point”, he added. While there’s overlap between those two things, they aren’t identical.
The poll found Florida Sen.
Clinton’s comfortable lead in most polls was also evident in her 61 percent to 30 percent lead over Sanders. The margin of error is plus or minus 4 percentage points. Trump has gained six points, Rubio four points, and Bush two. Trump dominated television coverage after using a vulgarity when speaking of Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton’s election loss to President Barack Obama in 2008.
Las Vegas highlighted how Trump has established alpha-dog dominance in the Republican field.
“Hillary Clinton tops him [Trump]. Sen”. Here’s where Republicans have their best chance to stop Trump.
Ben Carson seemed perfectly pleased to accept Trump’s compliment as “one of the finest men” – even though Trump had been denouncing him as pathological and a liar a couple of weeks earlier. “Can a candidate that half the American electorate thinks is an embarrassment win in November?”
Months of intense focus on the Republican race – and front-runner Donald Trump – have reverberated through the Democratic field, prompting front-runner Hillary Clinton to turn her attention to her would-be GOP challengers and leaving her chief rival, Vermont Sen.
