Donald Trump leads in polls again after Paris terror attacks

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, who was also competing in this group of Christian conservatie candidates, dropped out last week, conceding he had little chance of upending these four. “We’re dealing with very, very strong people”.

All but two candidates hit the single digit range. Following him were New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (4%), former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina (4%) and Kentucky Sen. A few 67 percent picked Cruz, 51 percent chose Rubio and 49 percent said Trump. When Trump is tested against Clinton, though, 21 percent of leaned Republicans prefer her, contributing to her advantage over Trump on terrorism among all Americans.

A Pew poll shows that candidates like Trump who seem to have a personal battle with the government have every political reason to do so, says CNN.

PAHRUMP, Nevada (AP) – Not only mosques, but schools, supermarkets, vehicle fix shops and “any place where radicalization is going on” should be monitored in light of terrorist threats, Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson said Monday while campaigning in Nevada.

Beyond Obama’s unpopularity on the issue, Clinton shaming of Republicans for opposing resettlement in America for Syrian war refugees is also at odds with majority opinion.

Among members of an important demographic in the Republican Party – evangelicals – Trump was again seen as the most unfavorable candidate. Rubio followed Carson with 55 percent, while Cruz garnered just 44 percent overall. The retired neurosurgeon has taken several hits throughout November; his dragging poll numbers have been attributed to controversies over his autobiography and his perceived lack of foreign policy expertise following the Paris attacks, Fox News reports. Rogue candidate Trump, of course, needs no advice.

Trump leads in polls, but no recent presidential nominee, Democrat or Republican, has ever had such non-existent support from former and current elected officials in his own party. This month 42% of Carson’s Iowa backers are backing him with “some reservations”, up from 30% in October.

Much about the GOP race will be unknown until people actually start voting in February. But over the next two months, two things could happen that would shift the race.

“He has plenty of support, but maybe the reason his polls are not as high is because younger people (are his supporters) and they don’t vote and people don’t realize that they make the difference”, Rosenfield said.

A sizable percentage of GOP primary voters in all three early states said their decision as to who to support was at least somewhat affected by the Paris attacks.

Trump is rich and influential and seeking one of the most powerful offices in the world.

Here’s one good reason why: Donald Trump. Carson is a distant second at 22 percent.

This week Trump has been slammed for his controversial comments about creating a database to track Muslims. Trump’s xenophobia certainly isn’t original.

Each wild claim and flippant remark only reinforces the Trump image as a man unafraid to say what he thinks – and what many others are thinking right along with him. Ron Johnson with 58 percent support to Johnson’s 38 percent.
