Donald Trump Is More Popular Among Republicans Than Hillary Clinton Is Among Democrats
Policy Mic ^ | July 15, 2015 | Gregory Krieg

In a little more than a month, Donald Trump has turned the Republican presidential primary on its head, seizing the lead in at least one national poll as his popularity with GOP voters grew by more than 30%, according to a comparison of Washington Post-ABC News polls from late May and early July.

The most recent survey, conducted in the midst of Trump's anti-immigrant national speaking tour, found that 57% of Republicans had a favorable view impression of the candidate, who is either leading the field or a close second to former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush in most national polls. Forty percent of Republicans in the Washington Post-ABC News poll hold an unfavorable view.

How popular is Trump with the GOP rank-and-file, now? Consider this: In the poll released Tuesday, Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton registered a net +7 favorable/unfavorable rating within her own party (52% to 45%).

Yes, but the bad news is, Hillary still beats Trump in a head to head match-up — 51% to 34%.

Shrewd of Sen. Cruz meeting with Trump. If the Donald is sucking up all the media coverage overshadowing all other candidates, then go to where the spotlight is shining and steal the show. Only Ted Cruz can out-troll Trump. ;)

Put together these two polls just do not make sense. The numbers do not jive. Something is very off about one of these polls — or both.

I wouldn't worry too much about that. The needle moves pretty quick.

Jan 29th, 1980 Harris Poll: Carter 65% to Reagan 31%

Funny how President Romney was crowned the “most electable Republican” of 2012.

Are you going to donate this year to President Romney’s reelection campaign?

“Hillary Clinton registered a net +7 favorable/unfavorable rating within her own party (52% to 45%).”.....

She’s been running for POTUS for several years already and that is all she can muster? Sure sign of a loser.
