GOP’s Chairman Doesn’t Expect Trump Third-Party Run

“I understand it’s going to be the nature of any primary for folks to discuss the differences between themselves on policy issues, and I think that’s fine”, Spicer said. “And now that Trump’s at or near the top of the presidential polls, he recognizes that if he wants to have staying power, he has to show he has some general election electability”.

Trump leads the polls at 18 percent, with Jeb Bush trailing in second at 15 percent. The nearly universal expectation is that Trump will sink from his lofty poll heights as first-blush sensations have done in the past: Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry to name just two.

Trump’s support among Republicans increased six percentage points since late June despite a flood of rebukes of Trump after he said McCain, a former Navy pilot who was tortured during more than five years in captivity during the Vietnam War, was not a war hero because he was captured. “She can go about her business because the Republicans are all having to battle to get onto that stage?” During a speech last week, Trump told everyone Graham’s cell phone number in retaliation for Graham calling Trump a “jackass”.

In a pair of new NBC-Marist polls trump has a 7 point lead over Bush in New Hampshire. Trump said. “I am leading across the board, and then you hit me with a poll that I’ve never seen this before”. On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton was ahead of Bernie Sanders 47 to 34 percent in New Hampshire and 55 percent to 26 percent in Iowa, according to the poll. “I thought after the McCain comments, voters would start looking at other candidates, but he’s survived”.

Mr. Bush bests Mr. Trump among all Republicans and among male voters. For comparison’s sake, some 48% of Americans have a negative opinion of Hillary Clinton.

Trump’s popularity among Republican voters does not translate to the broader pool of registered voters.
