Poll: Trump leads Walker, Bush
Donald Trump leads a new NBC/WSJ poll published Sunday Chris Christie, John Kasich and Rick Perry are on the bubble for making the Fox News debate on Thursday
Washington (CNN)—Businessman Donald Trump is still riding high in a new poll, just days ahead of the much anticipated first GOP presidential primary debate.
He drew 19% support in the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll published Sunday, ahead of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker at 15% and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at 14%
Those three were followed by neurosurgeon Ben Carson at 10%, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz at 9%, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul at 6% each and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio at 5%.
When those surveyed were asked for their second choice, Bush led with 16%, while Carson, Rubio and Trump each had 11% support.
The most consequential finding in the poll, however, was what it means for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who are locked in a three-way battle for the last two spots on the stage in Thursday's first Republican presidential debate.
Fox, which is hosting the debate, has said the top 10 polling GOP candidates -- as of 5 p.m. Tuesday -- will be on stage together for a prime-time debate, while the remaining declared candidates will face-off in a 5 p.m. forum.
The NBC/WSJ survey shows Christie, Kasich and Perry each at 3% support, just two days away from Fox News announcing the names of the 10 candidates who make the cut for the prime-time Cleveland debate.
The survey follows two others -- a CNN/ORC poll and one from Quinnipiac University -- that also showed those three names in the 9th, 10th and 11th positions.

WAY TO GO TRUMP....
When CNN gives you notice, they are all worried...lets keep them wondering and worrying ...will drive them crazy...
NBC/WSJ Poll. Looks like a little correction is called for in the title of the post.
Yes BUT how does Trump do against Hillary? That is the question everyone should ask.
If Trump can can avoid imploding and get the GOP nod, he will smash Hillary to smitherines....and Sanders and Biden. I think the debate this week will tell us a lot about Trump’s ability to stay in for the long run.
Sorry, The article from CNN also discussed the CNN poll. Sorry for the confusion.

I wonder if they print “Walker, Bush” to give us subliminal messages /half joking
You might want to post all of the comparisons.
How can any GOP voter that has any idea of what is going on in the country even consider Bush
Name recognition at this point
Does Jebbie do better?
Mr Jane Pauley (Doonesbury) is usually a good indicator of who the Dems fear most. It’s TRUMP!
Meaningless. The left used the same polls to prove that McCain was the best candidate against Obama. The GOP guns have yet to be trained on Hillary and she is still tanking.
Cruz moving up!!!
WOOT!!!!
Does Jebbie do better?
***********
A little but Clinton still tops any of them, polling wise.
