Marco Rubio was the only other candidate in double figures with 12 percent. Less than half, 44 percent, feel certain of their choice.

“If there’s a rabid dog running around in your neighborhood, you’re probably not going to assume something good about that dog, and you’re probably going to put your children out of the way”, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson said in Mobile, Ala.
Trump and Carson were first and second in the PPP survey in October with 27 percent and 17 percent respectively.
Among those with college degrees or more, the Republican race is utterly divided, with Trump, Carson, Cruz and Rubio getting almost equal levels of support. However, Carson (25 percent) moves above Cruz (20 percent) and Bush (16 percent).
“Both white Evangelical Protestants and the white working class, have seen a massive decline in their public influence and respect of their views in the public square”, said Henry Olsen a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Centre at the survey’s release. Martin O’Malley, at 7 percent, will get that darned windmill one of these days.
No other candidate in the Republican field breaks ten percent. However, in terms of illegal immigrant problems, people think that Cruz may have the solution for it. In the economic aspect and how to handle it, the two are tied with 36 percent on who republicans think is better. According to the Fox poll, if Trump was not in the race, Christie’s support would rise to 8 percent from 6 percent.
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders said Trump’s words were “outrageous and bigoted”. Rubio comes in third among establishment Republicans, picking up 15 percent of that vote.
It is clear that Trump’s in-your-face demeanor is winning over Republican primary voters. We’re going to have to look at the mosques. The government is funded through December 11, and Republicans are looking to use a new spending bill to scale back environmental regulations and rules for banks, despite warnings from Democrats they could serve as “poison pills” that would imperil the legislation.

That dissatisfaction is reflected in Obama’s performance rating, as more New Hampshire voters disapprove (50 percent) than approve (43 percent) of the job he is doing. But experience may not matter as much as message; Trump’s rhetoric on combating terrorism-especially his talking points about bombing ISIS’s oil infrastructure-might matter more than his political experience, and increased concerns over border security vis-à-vis the Syrian refugee crisis likely bolsters candidates who have been tough on immigration. The poll had a 4.5-percentage point margin of error among Republicans surveyed and a 4.9-percentage point margin of error among Democratic respondents.
