Poll finds half of voters would be embarassed by Trump presidency
Any analysis of Trump’s success comes with a Trump-sized caveat: In a large field, before a primary ballot has been cast, he’s only managed to attract a plurality of Republicans, as measured by notoriously volatile opinion polls.

Friday, there were two new national polls, as well as three new state-focused polls released, and on Saturday, an additional poll was released covering a key early voting state.
“He’s running his country and at least he’s a leader, unlike what we have in this country”, Trump said during a telephone interview Friday on MSNBC.
Donald Trump keeps a big lead in New Hampshire, where he continues to draw support across the board from conservatives and moderates, from Republicans and the independents who can participate in that primary. Six percent were undecided and 41 percent could still change their mind.
Donald Trump polls better with shy college-educated voters and voters generally when they express their preference anonymously, a new survey suggests, which suggests that polls may be underestimating the support for his White House bid. Jeb Bush saw no difference.
On the Democratic side, Clinton easily leads Sanders, 61 to 30 percent, with former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley in a distant third with 2 percent.
Rubio had half Cruz’s score and Ben Carson was just behind him with 10 percent. Republicans say 70 – 24 percent that Trump has a good chance of winning.
At a recent Cruz CNN debate watch party, supporters said that they were happy with the way the Republican candidates were defecting “the stupid questions and making them real questions so that we have some substantive answers instead of a Democratic propaganda piece”, said one of the watch party members.
Trump’s frailty all along has been, like 2012 presidential candidate Michele Bachmann’s, an unwillingness to do homework on the issues.
Separately, Republican front-runner Donald Trump blasted Clinton for saying in the debate that he “is becoming ISIS’s best recruiter”.
In head-to-head match-ups, Mrs. Clinton led Mr. Trump by 7 points, 47 percent to 40 percent, and Mr. Sanders led Mr. Trump by 13 points, 51 percent to 38 percent. And there is still a lot of potential for movement overall in Iowa, as only 31 percent of voters are “firmly” decided, a contrast from those supporting Trump, in particular. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, for the GOP nomination for president, a month ago, spoke extensively about Trump and Cruz in an hourlong meeting with the Journal’s editorial board. So far Rubio has been impressively unflappable and even in the heat of argument has maintained a likeability edge over Cruz. Of those who said they were “very conservative” socially and/or religiously, 29 percent backed Cruz, while Trump received 27-percent support.

Still, Bush has a long way to climb. Reversing the question, 27 percent said Bush had the worst debate, followed by Trump (14 percent) and Carson (12 percent).
