Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush stood in the home of a Dallas fundraiser in mid-November and confidently declared: "Come December 15, [Donald] Trump will be in decline."
Today is Dec. 15, and unless you count two recent polls that showed Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) leading in Iowa, Trump still tops the GOP presidential campaign field. In fact, by several measures he's surging - there's no sign of decline.
The New York businessman earned 38 percent support in a Washington Post-ABC News poll released Tuesday. That's an increase for Trump from previous Post-ABC polls, his highest mark in the survey's history and more than double the support of his nearest opponent, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.). Trump now has a better than 2-to-1 lead over Cruz, who is at 15 percent, a doubling of his support since last month. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and former neurosurgeon Ben Carson are tied for third with 12 percent.
Bush, meanwhile, sits in fourth place, with 5 percent.

Yeb will “vow” a lot more stuff too.
Did he ‘vow’ in English or his native language?
Sounds like he learned making predictions from Algore.
Sounds like many on this very board.
Great reporting Ed....maybe further talk on Obama saying that ISIS was contained is a bit more newsworthy.
Jeb is purley a footnote at this point.
Yeb Bush. Who’s that?
Must be a student of Al Gore...
Funny,it seems like Jeb is the one in decline.
Did he say which year? /s
It’s funny when you consider how Jeb’s poll numbers are barely high enough to qualify for the debate. If he drops another point or two, he’ll be sharing a forum with contenders like Linda Graham and George Pataki.
Secondly, Jeb is obsessed with the "rights" of illegal immigrants. So he was probably just talking about Trump's decline among that group.
And thirdly, everyone knows that long-term standing on tippy-toes can lead to as sense of imbalance, both mentally and physically. So let's give poor ol' Jeb a break here.
Trump is in decline. He has no support. He will be at zero percent shortly.
Ah, but he didn’t specify the year. :>)
Yeb’s got crystal balls? That might explain some things ...
True.
And one hundred percent of the folks so rabid in their desire for that want it so because they desire that the Muslim migration to the United States continue unhindered. Yeb! has allies in his primary mission even here.
Well if Trump does actually decline it wont be El Yeb who picks up the slack.
Trump’s just declining in the wrong direction!
How much does Yebber$ have left in his PAC$ account$? Time to run more campaign ads in swing state Ohio... eheheheh
I “vow” that Yebbie will make a further ass of himself tonight. Maybe he’ll withdraw from the race tonight in the middle of the debate...walking off stage whimpering.
