Republican Ted Cruz promises to ‘kill the terrorists’ in new tough-talking

All other Republican presidential candidates received support of less than 5 percent from GOP voters.

Cruz is up 12 points while Trump adding 9 points has benefited the most from the declines.

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. 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.

The results are a huge shift from just a month ago, when the Quinnipiac poll had Trump and Carson in a dead heat, and the pollster declared that “Carson has surgically cut away all but one GOP opponent”.

Senator Rand Paul (KY) now has only 1% Republican support to show for his campaign effort.

Cruz had the biggest gain, up 12 points.

To this last point, it may be too soon to count out Donald Trump and the level of support he has received nationally.

If Donald Trump is motivating this group to a high voter turnout, it’s not unrealistic that he could first win the nomination and then clinch the White House. On foreign policy, Trump inches up to 32%, and among those who call terrorism an extremely important issue, 49% say they trust Trump most on ISIS.

The poll was conducted before this week’s deadly shootings in San Bernardino, California, which were carried out by a man reported to have been radicalized and his wife, claiming the lives of at least 14 people.

On immigration, an issue that has been a focal point of Trump’s campaign, most Americans say the government should not attempt to deport all people living in the country illegally (63%), and even more say such a mass deportation wouldn’t be possible (81%).

Donald Trump, a billionaire businessman, is considered to be a promising candidate for the presidential elections, giving tough competition to another hopeful Hillary Clinton.

While 73 percent of all Republican voters admit the idea may not be practical, 44 percent believe it would be helpful to the economy and 30 percent insist it wouldn’t hurt. Other candidates failed to register support, while 2 percent said they had no opinion.

The telephone survey of 425 likely participants in the Iowa caucuses has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.8 percent.
