Good polls also can tell us what’s driving the voters – why, for example, so many Republicans are opting for unconventional “outsider” candidates this year. Still, his campaign advisers say the Texas senator does have a track record of finding common ground with both Republicans and Democrats.

“A lot will have to do with Israel and whether or not Israel wants to make the deal – whether or not Israel’s willing to sacrifice certain things”, Trump said.
Looking beyond electoral support, at voters’ opinions of the candidates, can be helpful to understand what they’re telling the pollsters. If the super PACs of Bush and Kasich keep running those negative and disgusting ads regarding Trump, then he will decide to run as a third party candidate, which would surely give Clinton the election.
“You know what, there is nothing wrong with an apology, but you have to be wrong”. The senator set his sights on fellow senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, who both oppose abortion, even in cases of rape or incest. Republicans are defending the lions share of the seats up in 2016, many of them in states President Barack Obama carried twice. Martin O’Malley has 2 percent, with 6 percent undecided.

Respondents also thought that Trump could best handle the responsibilities of being president. “I’m going to hit them back 10 times harder – which is what we should be doing to ISIS and everybody else”, he said to audience chants of “USA, USA, USA, ‘” according to The Gloucester Times. Having Ben Carson in the mix for a few more months probably helps the overall image of the GOP.
Trump said he was a “big, big fan” of Israel. The Times report said there was no consensus among Republican Party leaders as to how to stop Trump or whether “anyone should even try”. The real estate mogul’s apparent lead may turn out to be a mirage once the actual voting begins.
Republicans compare the situation to the 1964 elections, when Republican Barry Goldwater coalesced the conservative grassroots to win the nomination, but failed miserably among the broader electorate.
“I’m not completely sold on him as somebody who can unify this country”, said Ron Mann, a 65-year-old Republican from Bettendorf who attended a jam-packed town hall with Cruz Monday evening.
Graham at one point made what seemed to be a comparison of GOP front-runner Trump’s hard-line stance on immigration to Nazi Germany and the Holocaust.
“I believe Donald Trump is destroying the Republican party’s chance to win an election that we can’t afford to lose”, Mr. Graham said at an event hosted by the Republican Jewish Coalition.

Trump called Ohio Gov. John Kasich “the worst debater I’ve ever seen”. “When I did this, I said I have to be treated fairly”.
