Donald Trump Hits 41 % Support & Widest Lead Still in New National Poll

“It will be the largest in terms of voter turnout, will be the largest election that we’ve ever had in the country”, Trump said. That means 77 percent of the vote heading into the Christmas holidays are for candidates not part of the GOP establishment.

Limbaugh played an audio clip of Trump telling “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace that Cruz doesn’t have the “right temperament” because the Texas senator behaves “like a little bit of a maniac”.

The polls show that somehow Trump’s appeal among some states has gradually started to stall over the past few weeks. But that poll also shows Clinton narrowly losing to Ben Carson and also losing to Marco Rubio by three points.

“Poll numbers go up and down”, Carson said.

A new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll shows Hillary Clinton crushing Donald Trump in a head-to-head general election matchup.

And then after bashing Cruz, Trump said he still sees Cruz playing a part in his administration. “And I think that is a question that is a challenging question for both of them”. “Trump is tapping in to the phenomenon”, stated Patrick Murray, who leads the Monmouth poll.

Trump made the same point on Sunday, saying Americans were living in fear of being attacked.

“This time, I don’t think nice is going to matter”.

CORDES: On Twitter, Cruz brushed off the comments, posting a link to this 1980s movie clip for the song “Maniac”.

Do you agree or disagree with Limbaugh’s contention about Trump that a “geniune conservative wouldn’t go after Cruz in this way?”

Donald Trump began his Monday facing a spate of unflattering headlines, with Sen.

In less than a week, Rubio has taken a seven-point dip, as Cruz rises from 26% to 30%.

More GOP voters named national security and terrorism as the top issue in the US, followed by economy and jobs, taxes and government spending, immigration, social issues, gun control and education. “Who understands the threats we face?” Ted Cruz surpassing him for the first time in some polls. Brian Walsh worked to elect Republicans to the Senate in 2010 and 2012.

Many of these anti-Obama attacks figure to be echoed by Rubio and his Republican opponents at Tuesday night’s debate at a casino on the Las Vegas strip. “That’s the problems with Ted”, Trump concluded.

Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, Lindsey Graham and George Pataki will square off in the undercard at 6 p.m.
