POLL: “THE DONALD” STILL ENJOYS DOUBLE-DIGIT LEAD
|| By FITSNEWS || Billionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump‘s latest theatrics have done nothing to erode his status as the frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination.
According to the latest NBC polling (.pdf here), Trump is supported by 23 percent of “Republican” primary voters – well ahead of U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas (13 percent), retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson (11 percent), former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina (8 percent), U.S. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida (8 percent), former Florida governor Jeb Bush (7 percent) and Wisconsin governor Scott Walker (7 percent).
Trump’s lead comes despite his recent dustup with Fox News’ anchor Megyn Kelly – who was part of the network’s full-frontal assault against “The Donald” during last week’s widely watched GOP presidential debate in Cleveland, Ohio.
“The overnight poll was conducted for 24 hours from Friday evening into Saturday,” the network reported. “During that period, Donald Trump stayed in the headlines due to his negative comments about Kelly and was dis-invited from a major conservative gathering in Atlanta.”
NBC News’ poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.
Worth mentioning in the poll? A whopping 54 percent of Trump voters said they would cast their ballot for him even if he isn’t the GOP nominee. Only one-in-five said they would bail on him to support the eventual GOP nominee.

The more he shows his ass, the more his ratings go up. That’s what Republicans want.
Trump’s traction really bothers me. As an independent, I really want to have a serious Republican candidate – even though I might not vote for him or her. Instead, anyone who has realistic answers to serious questions like entitlement reform, immigration, tax structure, and foreign policy is really unlikely to emerge from the Republican primary.
You’re just worried Hillary will get her ASS kicked. You don’t fool anyone, you fucking idiot.
23% of the GOP is for him, if he gets the nomination he will still only have 23% for him, right wingnuts alone cannot put together enough votes to put him in office.
But that’s the point. They actually believe they can.
As right wing as they get.Staunch conservative.The Democrat Party hates America and is evil.If the Republicans want to govern like Democrats then we need a 3rd party.
The Republican establishment is trying to feed us RINO’s like Bush and Christie that would give us a ‘mirror’ of the Democrat Socialist Party-open borders/amnesty,NO repeal of Obamacare, acceptance of perverted marriage,continued taxpayer funding for the modern day genocide machine called Planned Parenthood and the destruction of Israel while appeasing our enemies.
Stand tall Trump. pOgo and co. are organizing your defense of America and our liberties.
“Donald Trump is not a conservative, and it’s beyond time every Republican knows it. ”

He is a ‘conservative’ on immigration and that is the ONLY issue that matters in 2016.
You liberals FOILED AGAIN. (:
Looks like The Donald is kicking your ass again. The more pissed you get, the better he does. While the nation stands and cheers, laughing at your stupid asses, struggling, because Trump is slapping you down, w/o apology.
We’ve told Republicans all along that if you Stand and fight the bastards who hate us – instead of constantly backing down – we’ll support you. Trump proves it.
BRAVO.
i’m voting for Hillary and i am just loving what The Donald is doing, i’m not pissed, i’m laughing my ass off. Go Donald Go!
And the crazy train continues. The GOP is now in full fledged civil war. Outside of the race people are trying to overthrow Boehnor, Cruz is throwing names at McConnell. This shows how far the GOP has fallen. When 40% of your party is made up of crazy nuts backing Trump, it means two things, you gots a problem, and so many rational, informed voters have abondoned your party. This is really it for the GOP. They have to win this one. If they fail to win this national election, they’ll not see the inside of 600 PA Ave for a generation. It shows truly how much damage was done to the GOP by the last three years of W, the Palin factor, talk radio and just plain stupid policy decisions. Every day just makes the GOP seem more and more like a laughing stock. At this point we should be discussing policy positions, ideas, vision. Instead they’re fighting amongst themselves over piddly crap, and half the party is endorcing a man who vilifies women, Hispanics, anyone who disagrees with him, and pretty much, a huge swath of the electorate. When you only appeal to 15% of the nation you can’t win. And the worst part, all these supporters, think that the majority of Americans agree with them. Talk about an alternate universe.
The GOP has no ideas. For the last eight years their policy ideas have been to look at what Obama proposes and propose the opposite, even if it was their idea originally.
Trump is the only Republican offering anything new. The rest are just saying the same ole BS they have been putting out for the past 8 years. Ideas that brought us wars, deficits, and a mini depression.
Why is Hillary so scared to debate?????? Why? Why? Why?
brain injured,a criminal,a liar,ugly….???
Look, I will not continue to have you insult Gov. Perry like this.
Debate whom?
The Ayatollah,ISIS or socialist Bernie Sanders?
REPUBLICANS:
House CHECK
Senate CHECK
34 GOVERNORSHIPS CHECK
69 of 98 STATE LEGISLATURE CHAMBERS CHECK
Whine away commie…Obama destroyed the democrat Party…the laughingstock is your racist,American hating ‘closet’ Mulim pResident occupying the wHite House…
You and your Hitler-lites are in panic mode as you need OPEN borders for a pool of new voters…the American people are scared shitless of the democrat party…
Despite the levels at which they are loathed, the Democrats are convinced all Hillary has to do is not die before Nov. 2016, and she will be anointed Queen.
I think the bigger question is HOW the Hell did Obama maintain his stranglehold on this country so long?
Their ignorance is bliss. Rock on. (:
She is stuck at 47% and a loser in ALL battleground states.
Trump won’t run 3rd party yet he is ensuring Bush’s defeat in primary and NO amnesty A wall and NO path to citizenship.
Dems are finished.
You’re a fool. Trump most certainly is going to mount a third party bid. He’ll be of the GOP race in March, and announcing his indy bid in May. His ego is too big now to stop.
But Flip – you’re missing the point. OK, 34 Govs, state legislatures. Fine, But you’re ability to capture the big prize of the White House is still elusive. You leverage the crazies who support trump in 2014 to get the Senate, only to lose it in 2016. See the “open” borders thing, etc – that’s silly. We’re going to get immigration reform either via Jeb, Kasich or Hillary. That’s a done deal. The point is, you cannot win national elections with your party divided and backing Trump. If 40% of your Party votes for Trump the independent, you lose the White House. The Senate is already lost, so that’s a given. And now with open rebellion, how does it impact the House? My point is, your party is in open Civil War. Period. You cannot deny that.
Deny what? Jeb or Kasich won’t smell the nomination.Lose the senate? Pubs are going to stay at current of pick up 2.Trump ain’t running independent.He is just moving the party to the RIGHT on closing the border and deporting illegals.
The Republican establishment has a choice. A wall,close border and NO path to citizenship or lose White House in 2016.
They will come around.They know Hillary can’t win.
A platform of Wall, close border, no path to legal status = Hillary wins. But understand this Flip – Donaldo cannot win the nomination. He just can’t. He only has 35% if you take Cruz support. IL, OH, WI, NY, PA, CA, NJ, IN – all winner take all states, including FL as well. And since Trump can only get a proporational chunk of TX, there is no way unless he wins those states he can get the nomination. And there is NO way moderate Republicans will vote for Trump.
Are you clueless.Read his lips…LEVERAGE…he can’t win nomination HOWEVER he will decide who the nominee will be AND nominee will be for a WALL and NO amnesty.
No they won’t. Likely nominee is either Bush or Kasich, with Rubio VP. They are all pro-amnesty, pro-Obamacare, and the sooner you accept the reality, the better off you’ll be. No one is going to run with a hard-right agenda. It’s a loser. Did you forget what happened in 2012?
Bush is finished. Kasich??? LMAO!!!!2012? Romney ran as a RINO!
Things have changed.Obama’s economy,his lawlessness and immigration are the defining issues.
Immigration touches EVERY issue.A loser for Dems.
Dude, you are so out of touch with reality. You really need to get your meds checked out.
The GOP establishment and the Koch Brothers who are in panic mode right now. They thought Fox would kill Trump in the first debate;. but Fox failed; and Fox will not host another debate until January. The RNC has no real control over the folks hosting the debates between now and January, so that will be Fox’s next shot at Trump. But I think that will be too late. Trump will be way ahead of Bush and the Koch Puppet of choice by then.
Trump ain’t going 3rd party-however he will pull the Republican establishment to the right in order to ensure victory in 2016.
No amnesty and a wall.NO path to citizenship! Life is good.
You are truly delusional. You prove my point.
What this Trump bid is all about.Republicans will have to cut a deal about amnesty and citizenship. Bye Bye Jeb and Pedro!
RNC will have to cut deal with Trump….ha ha
1.Wall
2.deport illegals
3.No amnesty…No path to citizenship
No they won’t. They will not cut a deal with Trump. They can defeat Trump, at the ballot box. A lot of states are winner take all, and Trump will come up short.
Yes however he can still garner 15% in a general election as a 3rd party candidate.Trump will be a hero after they cut a deal on immigration.
You just don’t get it Rocky.Real anger in this country over immigration,Obamacare and the economy.Trump has tapped into that anger.Ain’t going away.
Right. With 15%. You have to stop believing that a majority of America agree with Trump, or yourself. Seriously, you need to get out more.
They do on immigration.California is passing out driver licences to illegals-500,000 of them so far and now they can VOTE.
This is why Hillary will lose in 2016 and why Trump gets it.
You cannot vote with a drivers license in CA, unless you’re a registered voter. And for that you need to have registered as a US citizen. According to CA DMV website – AB60 Driver’s licenses do not give you a right to vote.
Yes they do.You are wrong.
No Flip, I’m sorry but you’re factually challanged on this one. Again, you need to get more factual data to drive your views and decisions.
They will be given a voter registration card and will be allowed to vote with a ‘provisional’ ballot.
Fraud.
No they won’t. Again, get some real facts.
Rocky I’m just trying to help you out.You could take your NON citizen mother in-law that is on taxpayer funded Obamacare to California-get a DL-and she could vote for Hillary.:0
Again, AB60 license cannot allow you to vote. You cannot obtain a voter registration with one. You’re just wrong.
Rocky my main socialist/commie friend, Sanctuary cities are against FEDERAL LAW and illegal and they still exist.
They will be voting Rocky.Local law enforcement will look the other way.Democrats can only win election with fraud and cheating.
So again, you have no factual basis. Enough on ths.
They are passing out voting forms to illegals and they are voting.FACT!
Provide reliable and verifiable sources. Breitfart doesn’t count.
I don’t answer to you.I have PLENTY of sources and will be visiting San Francisco next month. Stay tuned.
LMAO. A Trumpito Cowardly way to – run away.
Oh…like the ‘run away’ you did last night to run to the store last night when I was putting a Trump beat down on ya?
I actually went to the store, and I said have a nice night. I didn’t run away when asked to provide supporting facts on a claim I made. Killer Bs.
The process of obtaining a license in California also “requires” the license applicant to register to vote, which can be done automatcally at the time of registering. There is NO CHECK ON ENSURING VOTER LEGALITY when this is done.
HERE IS THE INSIDIOUS PART. When one applies for a license as an illegal alien (they call it “immigrant;” to me, immigrant implies LEGALITY, there CAN be no “ILLEGAL” immigrant), then one doesn’t (actually, cannot) supply a social security number. So when the option of registering to vote is selected yes, the voter registration is performed without the required social security number. But since the Voter registration department is getting the request from the DMV, the Voter Registration department processes the request without requiring data, as it ostensibly is also available in the DMV. They cite “cost savings from the avoidance of data duplication” for this process.
Checkmate!!!!
Not for the AB60 license. Go back, check the site again, for the AB60 license. Read it. Understand it, and withdraw your queen before I take it with a pawn.
Which is great for the Democrats, as Trump will have alienated a large number of conservative women. You should be thanking Fox for attempting to rid the party of Trump, as he will assist Clinton in being elected president.
Alienate conservative women? You mean they are going to vote for the Planned Parenthood infanticide queen/party, Hillary Hitler?
And I bet you think Obama and FaraCon are Christians as well?
Or they will not vote at all.
The word “Christian” means nothing to me. I feel very fortunate we do not have another Christian lunatic in the White House.
ISIS supporter,huh?
No. Born with brain.
Gotcha.Just NO soul.
Nah, that one is also you.
Trump gets elected, who besides Obama and Hillary will go to prison under US Attorney General Trey Gowdy?
Why is that fabby Hillary femdom woman so afraid to debate? Why Why Why?
Hillary’s Facebook page is getting an enormous amount of attacks.
EVERYONE knows the Democrats have really screwed up the country. And they are THRILLED Trump is going out and telling it like it is. That’s rare.
Sadly in this country of media Gestapo and NAZI-level hat from the Democrat Party.
And you put Fox news in that pro-Dem category. That’s where you lose any credibility.
No, FITSNews. your godless bible author, is putting FITSNews in the pro-dem category.
Are you so stupid you are oblivious to the website that tells you every thought you ever have?
FITS is wrong. The nuts in the GOP are abandoning FOX infavor of a blowhard. Not even getting a hard blow. Very pathetic – like yourself.
Fits told Rocky the confederate flag needed to come down and he jumped on board. I know what you mean.
I’ve wanted that rag down since 1990 when I first arrived in Columbia.
Do you feel better? They were rioting in Ferguson again last night.Guess it didn’t help.
Your boy’s were looting cigs and booze again.
Ferguson isn’t in South Carolina Flip.
Democrats are the ones in trouble.Socialist Bernie Sanders is drawing 20,000 people why Hillary draws zilch. The Black Lives Matter and New Black Panthers are taking over Sanders rallies.Dems are defending infanticide and Chuck U Shumer just told Obama he ain’t leading the Jews to the oven again aka Obama’s Iran give away….
Riots in Ferguson even though the DOJ is running that PD.Oh my!
Love it! FoxNews is now part of the liberal mainstream media. God, these people are morons!
You’re being too kind!!!
When Bill Burton started showing up with Megan regularly you knew the fix was in. Burtin was a Christian/conservative hating attack dog for Obama.
In the post debate spin Burton was spinning the ‘war on women’ gig again-Kelly handed it to him on a platter with her faux attack on Trump.
Killer B’s make you do some crazy things. I like them Killer Bs. In this contest, B is better than A.
So where will you nutjobs go for ‘news’ and information now?
Jesus or Mark Sanford.
There is an old political truism that states: ‘if your opponent is beating himself, never intervene and possibly cause him to stop.’ That is the answer to why the Democrats are not scheduling any debates. John Jenrette would be proud of Hillary and the Democrats.
Friday Trumps campaign manager went into his office and said “Donald, what are you doing.”
Donald replied – “Kicking my own ass.”
Next morning, Stone quit.
There is a reason Wasserman-Shultz couldn’t tell us what is the difference between a Democrat and a socialist.
No difference between Obama,Clinton,Sanders and Castro,Chavez,Putin etc….
Nice Flip – glad to see we’re debating with rational thought.
What is the difference Rocky?
If you think there is no difference – I cannot help you. But hey, those Killer B’s man. Awesome.
The decline of the Grand Ol’ Party – down in the twitter sewer with ‘da Donald’ discussing where blood comes from – great way to tackle the problems of the 21st century.
At least they didn’t become a domestic terrorist group like the Democrat Party?
Wow. You guys are very, very, very desperate.
Just shows how lost they’ve become.
I wonder how much cheaper positive coverage costs Trump on FitsNews as compared to Breitbart News?
Patient reported blood coming from wherever. Prescribed aspirin between knees.
Gotta admit. Bill Clinton getting Trump to win – classic and priceless.
Trump is a RINO:

“Donald Trump’s Surprisingly Progressive Past”
http://www.nationalreview.com/article/421043/donald-trump-progressive-issues
From Buzzfeed….
Trump, in his own words, in 2004: “You’d be shocked if I said that in many cases I probably identify more as a Democrat.”
Trump said in 2009 that Obama was “a strong guy who knows what he wants,” a person with “the mark of a strong leader,” and “totally a champion.” He even bestowed the greatest Trumpian honor upon Obama, saying, “I would hire him.”
In 1999, while considering a run for president as a member of the Reform Party, Trump said he believed in universal health care as an entitlement from birth. “I believe in universal health care. I believe in whatever it takes to make people well and better,” Trump said, before adding that “it’s an entitlement to this country if we’re going to have a great country.”
15-20 years ago…no wonder your opinions are so stale…
Only issue that matters is immigration and Trump wins on that.
1.Wall
2. deportation
3.NO amnesty
2009 was 15-20 years ago?
1999 was.Prince baby!
2009’s comment regarding Obama shows that in a decade he really didn’t change all that much. He’s also donated to Hillary Clinton.
Mamatiger, forget I said to be quiet, these idiots couldn’t figure out Trump is not on their side even if the man told them himself.
Obama was AGAINST GAY MARRIAGE in 2009. He sure changed a lot. Why not Donald? Cause he is white?
Axelrod writes that he knew Obama was in favor of same-sex marriages during the first presidential campaign, even as Obama publicly said he only supported civil unions, not full marriages. Axelrod also admits to counseling Obama to conceal that position for political reasons. “Opposition to gay marriage was particularly strong in the black church, and as he ran for higher office, he grudgingly accepted the counsel of more pragmatic folks like me, and modified his position to support civil unions rather than marriage, which he would term a ‘sacred union,’ ” Axelrod writes.
yes. he did. and, you blasted him for it. why not Donald? because he is white?
Donald has evolved is 100% correct on immigration.He debates like he is black.He is officially half white/half black.
Sir, if anyone knows evolution better than anybody, it would be me. Donald Trump’s politics has evolved less than your brain has, which is why you are unable to see his true intentions.
Trump makes you socialists crazy.He exposed ALL of you American haters.
And your little wingnut self thought I was against gay marriage?
2004 & 2009 = 15-20 years ago? Whatever helps you sleep at night, flip.
Obama was against gay marriage in 2004 and 2009. Next.
Yep. And, you blasted him for it, no? Different rules apply to Trump?
You are the one that brought up Trump changing his mind and I DESTROYED your argument!
I guess white guys can’t change their mind,huh?
um… no you didn’t. you just pointed out what a hypocrite you are.
Yeah, I’m kind of a racist, sorry, GrandTango is rubbing off on me pretty bad huh? But the sex is good.
SYNTwist is the gal dumber than you on Fits(Boz only counts if he is wearing a dress).Are you sisters? :)
needs work
I do need work, but no one will hire an asshat like me. :(
Obama kept his true opinions on gay marriage under wraps, just as Trump is doing now.
Stop pulling the race card you race-hustling racist!
Killer B’s. Killer B’s.
lulz! And you believed him too didn’t you!
Donald Trump is trying for “Biggest Troll In History” so don’t ruin it by exposing him!
lol
I don’t care what Donald says, or anyone else. I love those Killer B’s. Not big on American blondes, but she’s hot.
You may want to check with Bullwinkle but I am pretty sure that she ain’t a blonde blonde
Of course a drapes and carpet display would eliminate all questions
Yes, yes, – let’s have the display. Except depending on the b’s wax, maybe we can’t tell for sure. And who cares. Hit me with the Bs.
Quick message to Donaldo – enjoy your little victory because in the long term, in America – boobs beat butthead every time.
Ah, I remember being 14 and obsessed with boobies. Enjoy it while it lasts, kid.
OK, I’m stealing this from WaPo comments – not mine:
GOP = Got Our Period
FOX = Fruitcakes On Xanax
Killer B’s. Love them Killer Bs. I’d like ’em with maple syrup.
Mary has a little skirt with splits right up the sides,

I am not convinced Trump has the staying power to make through the primaries and be on top when the nominating convention convenes next August. He puts on a good show, appeals to a lot of people, but the unusual schtick could grow tiresome or even boring. If Trump’s positions on the issues is in common acceptance within the party, will not other Republicans move toward his position, and then maybe weaken his hold?
Too early for broad projections and predictions.
Those Killer Bs could help with staying power.
Good points. In reality is what will happen.Trump will accomplish getting rid of Bush and on immigration he will make sure Republicans adopt his ‘Wall-NOAmnesty/Citizenship’ before he gives up his ‘leverage’ on a 3rd party run.
Killer Bs.
good post …
And don’t think that the unrest in the electorate is exclusive property of the Republicans. Look at the way a full-fledged Socialist is taking Hillary to task on the left.
There is a polarization taking place in both parties, and there seems to be no accommodation in either party for the so-called moderates.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he’ll ‘die out’ sometime during October all the way through January when everyone is ready to vote for the new president; then Trump will be skyrocketing again.
Given the petitions required for an Indy run, when do people think Donaldo will bolt the GOP race. I figure end of March – when he realizes the game is rigged against him.
She and the Bs are Maurice-o-licious.
A new Morning Consult poll finds Donald Trump’s lead over the Republican field grew in the several days after his performance at the first GOP presidential debate.
Trump leads with 32% — up 7 percentage points over last week’s poll — followed by Jeb Bush at 11%, Ben Carson at 9%, Scott Walker at 6% and Marco Rubio at 6%.
A new Reuters/Ipsos poll finds Trump leading with 24%, followed by Jeb Bush at 12%, No other candidate earned more than 8%.
unreal
Better believe it.Republicans establishment has TWO choices:
1. Give Donald what he wants: WALL, NO Amnesty/Citizenship OR
2.Donald goes 3rd party
He ain’t going 3rd party. He just fucked Boehner,McConnell though. they are finished after Rubio/Cruz/Walker/Fiorina win!
Haley can clean the shitter.She ain’t getting close to D.C. .
Me-gyn – get it? As in whatever coming out of her whatever?
Trump should have said, “I would never say anything bad about a Fox like you, Babe. Just a dog like Rosie or that Huffing-blow whatever person.”

I just wish he had more wit. Calling people ‘losers’ is very weak and sophomoric. Gotta speak on your audiences level though.
Trump has some damn good supporters if they’ll vote for him as an independent. Not even Bernie The Socialist has that many supporters that are of age to vote.
He has a bunch of low information old folks as supporters who will hand the Democrats an easy victory in 2016. We thank you in advance.
Nah. Trump will blow Hilary out of the presidential run once they start debating eachother. Nice try though. Liberal fuckshits never cease to amaze me with their sheer stupidity.
