Republican Race Tightens, Americans Embarrassed by Trump

All other seven GOP candidates garner less than 5 percent of support in the poll. Ted Cruz now a clear – yet distant – second after a strong debate performance, a new CNN/ORC poll released on Wednesday has found. “You see candidates go up, then go down”. On key fundamental measures, she’s disliked and distrusted by voters: Republican voters must decide which GOP candidate is best positioned and equipped to exploit these weaknesses. The results were obtained by FloridaPolitics.com on Tuesday. Ted Cruz has moved past Trump into a lead of his own in Iowa. The good news for Trump and the tougher news for Cruz is that the former’s support is far more locked in than the latter’s. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Clinton; the next three pitted the three Republicans against Democratic candidate Sen. (Imagine how effective that organization might be if he was actually campaigning!) He’s preparing for life after New Hampshire.

Bush remains stranded at the back of the GOP pack, polling at around 4 percent nationally and little better in the early states of Iowa and New Hampshire. Many of Trump’s visits to New Hampshire have involved television interviews or multi-candidate forums. It’s up 22 points since September, at 45 percent, the highest favorability rating of any of the Republican candidates.

But Christie is dying on the vine in SC and Florida, with 2 percent and 3 percent in SC and Florida, respectively. With Christie, it’d be a true “centrist versus conservative” race against Cruz, which is a big risk – especially if Trump fans line up with Cruz. Republicans as a whole are evenly divided on that issue, 40/40.

For almost a month now, Jeb Bush has established himself as the leading Donald Trump attacker, convinced that relentlessly criticizing the Republican front-runner’s temperament and rhetoric will draw fresh support.

The voters in the focus group “believed there is a profound alienation between them and their elected leaders at virtually all levels of government”, Tyson writes. Assemblywoman Crystal Peoples-Stokes’ version also has not passed. Carson’s orbit is decaying rapidly, but his supporters are all going to Cruz and Trump.

He told supporters the key to his success has been building a grassroots campaign to encourage more volunteers to join his effort and get undecided voters behind him.

Clinton on the other hand maintains a healthy 31 percent lead on her main opponent, Sanders, and now has more than six in 10 Democrats in her corner. Possibly”, he says. “But as of today it seems there are likely alternatives … Fifty-two percent say it’s at least somewhat likely the state will legalize pot this year. The survey was in the field entirely after CNN’s debate in Las Vegas on December 15.

The poll surveyed 438 registered voters who described themselves as Republicans or as Independents who lean Republican.
