Trump leads GOP field in North Carolina (July 2-6, 2015 survey)
PPP ^ | 7/8/15 | PPP

PPP's newest North Carolina poll finds that Donald Trump's momentum just keeps on building. He's the top choice of Republican primary voters in the state, getting 16% to 12% for Jeb Bush and Scott Walker, 11% for Mike Huckabee, 9% for Ben Carson and Marco Rubio, 7% for Rand Paul, 6% for Ted Cruz, 5% for Chris Christie, 4% for Carly Fiorina, 2% for Rick Perry, 1% each for Lindsey Graham, Bobby Jindal, and Rick Santorum, and less than 1% each for John Kasich and George Pataki.

Trump's favorability rating in North Carolina is 55/32, much higher than we were finding in national polls prior to his entry into the race. Trump's really caught fire with voters on the far right- 66% of 'very conservative' voters see him favorably to only 24% with a negative view of him. Trump is polling particularly well with younger voters (29%) and men (20%).

Jeb Bush had been leading our previous few polls in North Carolina. But he continues to struggle with conservatives. Among 'very conservative' Republicans, only 37% see him favorably to 44% who have a negative opinion of him and only 7% of those voters support him for the nomination, putting him in 7th place in the GOP field. Bush's overall 43/35 favorability is the second worst of any of the 10 candidates we measured that for, besting only Chris Christie's 27/41 standing.

40% drop in support for Jeb Bush in ONE MONTH!

That's what happens when the consistent truth resonates instead of silly platitudes and disingenuousness heard for decades, and wet noodle Jebber has abandon the battlefield to Trump.

Bye Jeb.

I was never a fan of any of the Bushes.

I liked W better than any of them. I believe he was the more sincere person. He meant well but that’s about it.

Reagan’s biggest mistake was allowing the republican elites to push G.H. W. Bush on him.

Trump leads GOP field in North Carolina

snip
All of the general election match ups in North Carolina are close with Clinton
trailing 5 of the Republican hopefuls, leading 4 of them, and tied with one.

The strongest GOP hopefuls for the general election, leading Clinton by 4,
are Mike Huckabee at 49/45 and Scott Walker at 47/43. Ben Carson leads her by 3
at 47/44, and Marco Rubio and Rand Paul each have 1 point leads at 47/46 and
46/45 respectively.

are Jeb Bush at 45/43 and Ted Cruz at 47/46. Clinton’s tie comes with Carly Fiorina at 45%.

Clinton continues to be far stronger as a general election candidate than any other
potential Democratic hopeful. Bernie Sanders would trail Scott Walker by 8 points

and Martin O’Malley by 16 points at 45/29.

At least five Pubbies lead Hildebeast, in NC.

I don’t understand how EVERY Republican isn’t leading, over Cankles, in NC...or any other state besides the completely blue lefty states.

That’s what several polls are saying. Other FReepers have stated that these pollsters can make their polls say what they want them to.

Maybe it’s a concerted effort to keep Ted out of the debates? Because they KNOW he’ll gob smack them all?

Don’t know why I was thinking this was a poll of SC. I guess because it’s an early one that gets more attention.
