More than half of Donald Trump's supporters say they are strongly committed to voting for him, according to the results of the latest NBC News/SurveyMonkey online tracking poll released Tuesday, the first national poll of 2016.

Overall, the Manhattan mogul commanded the support of 35 percent of the Republican and Republican-leaning registered voters who were surveyed over the past week, while Texas Sen. Ted Cruz came in second place with 18 percent support.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio earned 13 percent, followed by 9 percent for Ben Carson, 6 percent for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, 4 percent for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and 3 percent for Carly Fiorina, according to the full results shared first on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

Trump also leads the way among those describing themselves as white evangelicals (35 percent to Cruz’s 21 percent) and those calling themselves very conservative (35 percent to Cruz’s 30 percent).

Thinking out loud: How much of these poll results are sheer name recognition and celebrity appeal? Will it translate into caucus attendance and primary votes?

People are going to freak out about voter fraud when the actual vote totals don’t line up with these percentages.

Trump Rallies are really something to see. You get the distinct feeling of “authenticity” from him. It is a quality that is sorely missing from all other career politicians.

Nice try, but these MI voters are "likely" and Trump's lead just as big. But keep graspin at those straws.

BTW, look how poorly Cruz does among Hispanics, blacks, and over $65,000 (i.e. college educated).

Yeah. But there will be voter fraud by Dems. And Dems will flock to the polls in states were they can vote Republican iin the primaries.

Nonetheless, the army of FR trumpeters will discover that a) their hero is a Dem that has had a ‘conversion’ and will revert on getting to DC; b) that sounding tough is not the same as governing; c) that just because there are a lot of so-called conservatives who support the Trumpeter hisself, does not mean he is actually electable.

Its all about the Electoral College, not he number of votes, where the Dems start with a lion’s share before the election - trumpeters in their frenzy seem to forget this salient fact.

It isn't in Iowa.

Cruz will win IA in a blowout, especially considering that there are two more debates prior to the caucuses. And then the landscape changes.

You know that had to backfire because issara didn't spam the board/repost it every 30 minutes with a different title.

Unless someone demonstrably better comes along, he’s got my vote.

OK you're for Bernie. We get it.
