North Carolina was the first place polling ever found Donald Trump leading the Republican Presidential race, and he just keeps getting stronger. PPP's newest poll finds him at 38% to 16% for Ted Cruz, 11% for Marco Rubio, 8% for Ben Carson, 6% each for Mike Huckabee and Jeb Bush, 4% for Chris Christie, 3% each for Carly Fiorina and Rand Paul, 2% for John Kasich, and 1% for Rick Santorum.
Trump's support is up 5 points from a month ago when he was at 33%. The only other candidate who's seen a real gain in their support is Huckabee, who's climbed from 2% to 6%. The main hopeful dropping is Ben Carson, who's fallen from 14% to 8%. Besides Carson the only person to see their support decline by more than a point is Marco Rubio, who's dropped 3 points from 14% to 11%.
Perhaps the most striking finding from this poll is that not only does Trump lead the GOP field, he also has the highest favorability rating of any of the candidates in it. 62% see him favorably to 30% with a negative opinion. No one else has over a 60% favorability- Huckabee comes closest at 58/21. Trump also has the most committed supporters- 65% say they will definitely vote for him compared to 54% for Rubio, 50% for Cruz, 38% for Huckabee, and 33% each for Bush and Carson among the top candidates in the state.

GO TRUMP!!!
PING!
Seems like I remember reading that the great State of North Caroling led with Reagan in primary (back in the day of course), and that is what got him elected.
Now North Carolina will take the lead again!
Go Trump!
And go North Carolina - home to my family since 1732!
Read the excerpt below from Bloomberg to understand all one needs to know about the thinking of the GOPe leadership.
“Unfortunately I do think that if there were to be a Trump administration the casualty would likely be trade,†said Eric Cantor, a former Republican House Majority Leader and now vice chairman of Moelis & Company. “That’s a very serious prospect for the world.â€
Cantor said he doesn’t think Trump will make it through the primaries, a common theme among Davos attendees who nevertheless are still talking about him. Trump’s positions —like a “temporary†ban on Muslims entering the country and the building of a wall on the Mexican border — are earning him opprobrium in the mountain resort.
53% of GOP voters say someone born in another country should not be President.
Wow!!
