Are Donald Trump's Poll Numbers Too Good to Be True?

Just saying.

It has only been three days, since Donald officially entered the race.

Three days. Stay tuned.

[South40]

A remarkable 71 percent of Americans see him unfavorably, just 16 percent favorably.

[nickcarraway]

It’s been more than a week since his announcement. But nothing is real until he files his financial info.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

(bookmarked, thanks)

June 2nd date.

[South40]

But nothing is real until he files his financial info.

When a liberal democRAT runs as a conservative Republican, nothing is ever real.

[Jim Noble]

Where in the Constitution is there a requirement for a would-be President to provide financial information?

Trump will mop up the floor during the debates. And should he by some chance not end up in the 1st tier of candidates, although he will, everyone will end up watching the 2nd tier debates just to see The Donald in action. But I fully expect he will be in the 1st tier.

Time will tell. Those in the 2nd tier should pray Trump ends up there too as it will bring millions of eyeballs to those 2nd tier debates, giving the others in the 2nd tier a fighting chance to get their performances a large viewing. It would give them their best chance to get out of the 2nd tier. But alas, I doubt they will be given this opportunity to debate with Trump.

I hope Hannity and Fox News stop inviting and shilling for Jeb. I am not watching them if they invite this clown. I remember them foolishly giving Obama a forum and they might put Hillary up. It is ridiculous

[nickcarraway]

If he ever debated Hillary, can you imagine how she would mop the floor with him? But Donald, you donated to me on this date, and that date, and here's a picture of you with Bill and I saying how great you we are. Etc. Etc.

Not to mention his VP is Oprah or Caitlyn Jenner.

[ZULU]

Trump’s triumph is a spit in the face of Boehner and McConnell.

[grania]

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO AT LEAST PRETENDING TO BE OBJECTIVE???

If the elite would talk to some "little folk", they'd maybe learn a thing or two about how fed up with the DC sellouts we are.

[grania]

That is so dishonest. As in a post answering yours, this was published June 2 !

[rawcatslyentist]

Shillary’s pals pimping Shillary’s pal’s numbers? Well they did put the DUH in alqueDUH!

The time has come to throw out ALL career politicians from the local level to the highest level in the land.

Our original politicians were the patriots who founded our current government and they never intended to make a lifetime career at it. As a matter of fact they all had private jobs and businesses.

Turn to today: Being a political hack means it is stairway to financial success by selling freedom and responsibility to the highest bidder in exchange for their vote. The higher the level of office the higher the amount of wealth.

Over time (and particularly after the Viet Nam war) the moral compass of each generation has turned from individual responsibility to almost total dependence upon some type of government job, benefit or directive. Our educational system has been turned into an indoctrination system and our Constitutional rights are being attacked and declared null and void by Socialists, Communists and just plain stupid and dumb citizens (and non-citizens) who have passed through our tainted educational system.

I’m old and have lived since 1946 and enjoyed the “Norman Rockwell” days of our country and noticed the total change in our society when the “hippie” craze took hold. From that era America has steadily sunk into the cesspool we now find ourselves in.

My only salvation is to know I won’t have to live very long under the tyranny that will surely come to pass in the next 10 years.

Morality is dead. Responsibility is dead. Freedom is dead. Individualism is dead. The work ethic is dead and the list goes on and on and on.

The damage done by our so called “educational system” has enabled the dreams of those who wish to enslave us and the decedents of the slaves of the past are ensuring that they become political slaves of today.

[bkepley]

He already has, claims to be worth 8.3 billion but some are questioning his numbers.

[stanne]

Trump’s poll numbers??

Fox has him’just behind the leader, Jeb’

Any one, who says jeb’s numbers are that high, I ignore as completely worthless

[USS Alaska]

What more needs to be added?

As one from 1945, I agree with what you said. The last pockets of resistance are being trampled out, the last vestiges of individualism are being over run and the last areas of local culture are being extinguished. In my youth, my neighborhood was made up of a melting pot of every group I can think of: Pols, Irish, German, Italian, DP slavs after WW2, blacks, but very few Asians (we were on the east coast). All were anchored around a church and most worked locally, few had attended college. All men were Vets from WW2 and Korea some disabled from those wars. The kids all played together, football in the fall and winter, baseball, or some variant like stickball/wiffle ball in the spring summer and early fall. Aside from the A bomb scares, life was tranquil and more personally rewarding than financially.
In the 60s, most of my cohorts began college as our parents wanted better for us. The rest joined the military. Then came the “cultural revolution” here. Based loosely on an anti war/draft ideal and coupled with a complete disregard for any sense of order fueled by some loathsome individuals now considered paragons of democracy society began breaking down. Porn was good, church bad; bombing buildings good, serving in military bad; free sex good, marriage first not so good; wealth good, ethics bad; and entitlements good, working not so good.
