Donald Trump Leading Republican Presidential Race Again

If Tennessee’s presidential primary elections were held today, Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton would win their respective party primaries, according to the newest Vanderbilt University poll released Friday. Ted Cruz at 16%, former neurosurgeon Ben Carson at 14% and Florida Sen.

Florida Senator Marco Rubio was in fourth place, getting the nod of 12 percent of those surveyed.

In particular, Trump is a runaway choice of GOP voters surveyed who do not have college degrees, his support rising above 40 percent.

Several other recent polls have shown Mr Trump reclaiming a solid lead atop the Republican field after several weeks of near parity with Mr Carson, CNN noted.

Yet again, it is Donald Trump topping the list of candidates from the Republicans, says latest poll by CNN/ORC.

Trump’s increasingly provocative remarks are causing party rivals to step up attacks against him and some conservatives to label him a “fascist”. If you disagree, go look at some of the eye-popping numbers Trump has banked when Republicans are asked who they trust most on the economy. A majority of 52 percent chose him as the top GOP candidate for the general, and a plurality of 42 percent said he would be most effective at solving issues facing the country.

Chris Christie has the next highest support with just 4 percent.

Among Republican voters with college degrees, however, Trump was only the fourth most preferred candidate, with 18-percent support. He is also the most trusted candidate by far on illegal immigration and ISIS. 36% of the registered Republicans and independents with a Republican-leaning are backing him, and his nearest competitor is trailing by 20 points. However, Donald gained no support from the present American President Barack Obama. Cruz was slightly in front in this demographic at 22 percent, followed by Carson and Rubio. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, 10 percent said they don’t know yet, 3 percent favored former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley, 4 percent said none of the candidates or that they wouldn’t vote, and the remainder named someone else.

It was hard to keep track of the number of times Donald Trump stereotyped Jews in a speech Thursday – to the Republican Jewish Coalition. Mike Huckabee and John Kasich have 2 percent support and Rand Paul garnered 1 percent.

At the Jewish Republican Coalition, Trump also parroted stereotypes of Jews, likening himself to many in the room by presenting himself as a good negotiator and the ultimate deal maker.

There’s a sharp divide among Republican voters on these questions about deportation between those who back Trump and those who do not.
