HERE ARE THE TOP 2 THUS FAR:
_______________________________________
2. Donald Trump, Republican, businessman
Trump has lit the political world on fire since his entry into the race earlier this summer.
Trump’s bombastic entry into the race has vaulted him to the top of almost every recent polls nationally and of the early-voting states of New Hampshire and Iowa. And at least one poll is showing him gaining ground against Hillary Clinton.
There’s a clear appetite among Republican primary voters for someone like Trump, whose claims about illegal immigration have again inflamed the debate over immigration reform. And with his claim that he’s worth more than $10 billion, he won’t be pressed for funds. He said last weekend that he was prepared to spend $1 billion on his campaign.
Time will tell if Trump can sustain his serious momentum and be a real factor five months from now, when voters finally start going to the polls. But with the way he keeps weathering controversy after controversy that would seemingly sink most other candidates, it looks like he’s going to be in the conversation for a while.
National polling average among Republican voters: 22% (1st)
Iowa: 19.3% (1st)
New Hampshire: 24.5% (1st)
STOCK: Rising

1. Hillary Clinton, Democrat, former Secretary of State
Clinton is No. 1 here because she’s proved formidable in both polling and fundraising — and she still looks to be able to glide to the Democratic nomination, despite continued controversy over her use of a private email server as secretary of state.
Clinton averages about 49% of the Democratic vote when combining national, Iowa, and New Hampshire polls. Though these are all different races with different electorates, her strength in all three shows her overall dominance in the primary.
She’s ahead by an average of about 24 points in national polling, according to Real Clear Politics. She’s up by the same margin in Iowa, but there are signs of tightening in the first-in-the-nation primary state of New Hampshire. New polls released this week also showed her on shaky ground against Republican hopefuls in theoretical general-election matchups.
Overall, Clinton is a shaky No. 1 at this point. But she still has the easiest path to the nomination. If Vice President Joe Biden does decide to run, that path could become much more difficult.
National polling average among Democratic voters: 54.5% (1st)
Iowa: 50.5%% (1st)
New Hampshire: 40.7% (1st)

In the political world that's light years away...
Today's polls are pretty much worthless except for the News organization to manipulate their reporting...
Whatta joke!
I think I’d rate somewhere in the top 300,000,000
I read the entire article and didn’t find fault.
The left media hasn't said anything about how wealthy he is yet. They hammered Willard Romney on that on a daily basis and Trump is worth 20 times what Mittens is. JMO.
70% of the populace won’t care until Feb.
Polls have been and are meaningless until then.

Hillary will make a deal and drop out of the race...zer0 will pardon her crimes upon leaving office.
At this point it is entirely up to Obama to decide whether Hillary will be allowed the nomination.
What is their past history on choosing: “who has the best chance at being our next president”?
Hillary isn’t going to be president, doesn’t matter what the pointy heads say.
Rubio will rise as he takes Hillary’s place on the Democrat ticket.
He is a true library who has no shame, just like Cristina and Specter.
