Eleven months before the 2016 presidential election, Mr. Trump gets 27 percent of Republican voters today, with 17 percent for Sen. Ben Carson is at 14 percent. Sen. Alba says it was the first time she can remember Clinton being asked about Jones/Willey/Broderick on the campaign trail this cycle.
When Trump stated that a Black Lives Matter demonstrator at a Birmingham rally for the POTUS candidate should’ve been “roughed up a bit”, people condemned the Don, but his lead in the polls didn’t drop a point. But it rests crucially on the assumption that nominee Trump would be more restrained – dare we say more presidential? – than candidate Trump has proven to be. The Quinnipiac poll was conducted before the CNN/ORC poll, so if the two polls are accurate Trump’s lead has only grown since the Paris terror attacks.
In his speech before the Republican Jewish Coalition in Washington, D.C., the Republican front-runner served up a not-so-kosher mix of Jewish stereotypes and braggadocio, topped with a sprinkling of conspiracy theories – all of which seemed to go down surprisingly well with his audience of GOP heavyweights. Ward Baker, the executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, called Trump a “misguided missile” who could undermine GOP campaigns.
“Rubio is showing showing surprising strengths, he nosed out Trump by a little bit”.

“He’s the typical sort of person that historically folks thought of as a typical Republican — wealthy, country club guy who has a strong will and doesn’t listen a lot to hard working folks”, List said. Fifty-five percent of voters trust him most to handle the economy.
The poll was compiled through phone interviews with 1,074 registered voters between November 2-15. The third tier of candidates who continue to struggle gaining any traction in Trump’s wake are Chris Christie with 4 percent support, Jeb Bush with 3 percent, and Carly Fiorina with 3 percent. Respondents included 496 Democrats, 518 Republicans and 61 Independents.

Like other Republican candidates, Rubio and Cruz have sided with Israel in various disputes its government has had with President Obama and his administration. By age, 627 respondents were more than 50 years old; 295 were ages 30-50 and 152 were under 30. That’s despite the fact that most Republicans don’t think deportation is even possible. “And it’s a great example when the war on women came up, Republicans would curl up in a ball, they’d say, ‘Don’t hurt me.’ Jiminy Cricket!”
