Donald Trump Soars In The Polls, New Figures Show

Donald Trump Soars In The Polls, New Figures Show

According to new polls out on Monday Presidential candidate Donald Trump has soared into the 40s, tripling the support of his closest rival Senator Ted Cruz who took a mere 14 percent.
The surge in his approval comes after his controversial and ill-thought proposal to ban all Muslims from entering the United States.

The approval ratings likely reflect more on the media attention Trump has enjoyed as a result of his Muslim rant than a reflection on the public’s approval for such a proposal.

Politico.com reports:

The statement gave Trump another boost of media attention, and some speculated it was designed to shift the conversation away from a Monmouth poll from Iowa released earlier that day that showed Cruz with a 5-point edge in the state.

Trump was still smarting from that poll last Friday, trashing it during a campaign rally in Des Moines, Iowa, though he may change his tune after this latest result.

“What the hell is Monmouth?” Trump asked at the rally, adding, “I only like polls that treat me well.”

Monmouth’s survey also held good news for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who moved up to 10 percent support and third place, and bad news for retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who plummeted from 18 percent in October to 9 percent in this latest survey. Other candidates, including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, polled within the margin of error, with 6 percent remaining undecided.


“Looks like we just broke another polling ceiling,” he wrote to his followers. “While the establishment schemes to nominate someone they control – the voters are clearly indicating that they want someone who will fix the broken political system in DC. Thank you for your support! We will ‪#‎MakeAmericaGreatAgain‬!”

Remember, this is only among Republicans -- not the electorate as a whole. Americans still favor Clinton over Trump by six percentage points.

ONLY 6 points????

Ben, America will choose its president, not the people.
Wake up.

That was in one poll I saw; another had her up 7. That would be astonishing if she actually won by that amount -- most presidents don't win by more than 2-3 percentage points any more.

I'm awake, and I don't accept extraordinary claims without extraordinary evidence.

And what extraordinary evidence do you have, that your vote, and your fellow American's votes, get counted?

To say the votes are counted is not an extraordinary claim. An extraordinary claim would be to say that despite tens of thousands of election monitors and a robust system to prevent voter fraud, the winner isn't really picked by the voters.

She's up by 10-points over Trump in a poll reported on MSNBC just before last nights debate in Las Vegas.

Monitored voters who collect a box given to them.
Yes. I know.
