Trump leads Republicans, but Democrats thump him

That’s perhaps even more pronounced when you consider the share of his total giving by party.

The Monmouth poll also paints an interesting picture of what New Hampshire would look like in a world without Trump.

Trump has surged since suffering a slight downtick in the wake of the McCain furor.

(Actually, I think you could pick a dozen of the Republican contenders at random and have an FBI “most wanted” poster, but that’s another story.). The third stage, he said, will come when voters figure out what’s fact and fiction and synthesize their view of who Trump is as a candidate. It is easy to cast aspersions and ridicule nearly everything about Donald’s shoot-from-the-hip campaign from his inflammatory and offensive epithets about Mexicans, his over-simplified Wolman Rink strategy for the middle east, his arrogant diatribes against the Chinese (his best customers) his self-aggrandizing insults of all politicians and his mocking distain of traditional media.

The Quinnipiac University poll published Thursday shows Trump with 20 percent support, ahead of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker with 13 percent and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush with 10 percent.

“The activists are doubly angry”, Geer said. Rand Paul of Kentucky at the time – who he touted as having the right messages and good chances of being elected.

Donald Trump is the Republican establishment’s nightmare nominee, because he is considered more of an entertainer than a serious candidate, who is yet to enunciate serious policy positions, and who lacks presidential timber.

“The curtain has not been pulled back yet”, Feehery said.

Overall, about three-quarters of Republicans are satisfied with their choices, more so than in 2011 at this time (about two-thirds were satisfied then), but still, just 23% say they are “very satisfied” with the field. “But that’s going to take awhile”.
