The well-funded Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush are most likely to become the nominees of the Democratic and Republican Parties respectively because in American politics money trumps all, even Donald Trump, the leading GOP candidate, an American journalist and political commentator says.

No other Republican candidate obtained more than 10 percent support in the poll.
“Frankly, when you talk about energy, he’s got lower energy than Jeb Bush”, Mr. Trumpsaid. “Ben will not be able to deal with China, he will not be able to deal with Iran, he will not be able to deal with any of the countries that are really abusing our country”, Trump said. But Rubio’s chances are looking a lot better than they were a few weeks ago.
But voters say 50 – 38 percent that Carson does not have the right kind of experience to be president.
Yesterday’s NBC/Wall Street Journal poll has Carson surging into a six-point lead, quite a showing for a candidate who has largely shunned traditional campaign strategies and refused to play rough and tumble campaign politics with his rivals.
The self-proclaimed “Deal Maker” Donald Trump ranks number one for improving the economy, according to a new Fox News national poll released Wednesday.
Interestingly, Carson has also picked up numbers among women voters, with 45 percent for Carson and 44 percent for Clinton among women polled. Former first lady and Secretary of the State Hillary Clinton continues to drop from the initial survey rating. Trump’s favorable rating was 37 percent and his unfavorable rating was 56 percent.
The Quinnipiac poll also found Carson virtually tied with Trump in the race for the GOP nomination, with Carson at 23 percent and Trump at 24 percent.
The live telephone poll was conducted of 1,144 registered voters nationwide from October 29 to November 2, with a margin of error of about 3 percent. That trend continued Wednesday, with a mere 36 percent seeing Clinton as honest and trustworthy, compared to 60 percent who did not.
