Riding on a string of big victories in the presidential primaries, Donald Trump has not only extended his lead against his GOP rivals, but also he has gained ground against Hillary Clinton, according to the latest IBD/TIPP Poll.
------------------------------------------------
The poll finds that Trump now leads Ted Cruz by 19 points — 48% to 29% — which is more than double his lead last month. At the same time, Hillary’s lead over Trump is now just seven points (47% to 40%), down from 12 points last month.
What’s more, 65% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents now pick Trump as either their first or second choice for the GOP nomination compared with just 49% last month. Cruz dropped from 63% to 57%.

Thank you. Very cool.
Gotta love that guy.
Trump is going to be a great president.
Her negatives won't matter much if his negatives remain higher.
LOL!
I can see Trump thanking the secret service and the military the works in the White House, while I see Hitlary as cursing them.
Who would you rather work for?
Excellent! Thank you.
ppl like to focus on favourables because they’re in the negatives, but favourables don’t prove who win election, if so, Hillary wouldn’t be beating Sanders and Trump wouldn’t be beating Carson
The first debate between Trump and Cankles will be the end of her.
Trump is actually a human being, and he is going to build a big, beautiful wall.
Cankles is a shrieking robot spewing focus group pablum.
The only way she can win is to refuse to debate where the stark contrast will be obvious.
Now run along and got cry in a corner.
You and the New York Times agree.
That ought to tell you something.
Imagine if the GOPe was not doing the occupation’s work and instead spent over $600 million on positive Trump advertisements, rather than 55,000 negative commercials.
Or him. Trump never has had to go one-on-one in a debate.
See, I disagree in the sense that Trump’s “negatives” are badly worded. They are NOT political “negatives” but entertainment “negatives” the way one views a Hollywood villain, Richard Petty, “The Undertaker” in WWF, or J. R. Ewing. These are people you boo, then line up to get a jacket or photo or autograph.
In short, I don’t think these are apples to apples negatives. It’s simply impossible for Trump to do as well as he does in the primaries and have these numbers be even close to real.
My liberal colleagues and acquaintances DESPISE Trump. And it isn’t because he is a conservative, but because he does not burn incense before the Altar of Intelligentsia, and because they believe the MSM drivel that he is a racistbigotedhomophobe.
I haven’t seen such despising of a candidate since 1980 and Reagan, and for the same reason. To them, Reagan was, and Trump is, the incarnation of Archie Bunker In A Suit and Tie, who must be shown up Rob Reiner-style by whatever intellectual means are available, and Bill Ayres-style by less than intellectual means if necessary.
Well I had reckoned on both Trump’s and Clinton’s numbers being dragged down by opposition within their own party as well as outside it...a phenomena which will likely be substantially mitigated at the party conventions. But if Trump is more hurt that way like they suggest, then he has more of a potential convention bump.
It will be 4 against 1—the 3 moderators and Hillary on one side, vs. Trump. She will be given the questions in advance and he will be given gotcha questions. Afterwards, no matter how it turns out, the mainstream media will trumpet it as a big victory for Hillary.
Whatever, dude. Yeah, I get it, you hate Trump but without Trump, Jethro Bush would have been anointed long ago. We’ve already had plenty of Bushes. I’m will to give Trump the benefit of the doubt.
Do you think she will debate him? I am thinking she won’t unless the panel is so biased that he can’t get a fair question or a serious question.
