Trump towers in fresh poll (almost 30%)

Donald Trump has something new to crow about.

The latest numbers from the Reuters/Ipsos five-day tracking poll has boastful billionaire as the presidential choice of almost 30 percent of Republicans surveyed—a stratospheric mark given the fragmented presidential field.

He’s hitting a new high with the first Republican debate just days away: Aug. 6, in Cleveland, Ohio, where coverage of Trump before, during, and after the contest is likely grow even more feverish given the new numbers.

Trump’s current surge–he’s been gaining strength meteorically all week, according to the poll–has knocked his closest rival, Jeb Bush, back behind him by almost 20 points. Bush sits at 11 percent, with the rest of contenders gasping for air at less than 8 percent.

At a week ago this time, the Reuters/Ipsos poll had Trump at just 15 percent.

My fear is that Trump has sucked most of the oxygen out of the best debater and most solid conservative of the lot.

It’s too bad because Cruz and Trump together would be lots of fun - you’d think Fox would care about ratings.

Whatever happened to the idea of a debate with Rush, Levin, et al asking the questions? Here we go again with the gotcha questions.

Just goes to show what the TRUTH is really worth - he even leads in Latino support which flies in the face of all “conventional wisdom”.

Reuters Website: Trump 29.5, Bush 10.9, Huckabee 7.2, Walker 6.9, Paul 6.4, Carson 5.4, Rubio 4.8. Looks like the cogent remarks Huck had about the Iran deal helped him.

LOL...

Did I see this poll at Cruz at 1.7%!

This poll isn’t even close to legit.

Move Cruz to VP and your chances go up.

I love Sarah but I believe Cruz would be a better choice.

At the poll itself, you can do your own filtering by Personal, Political, Economic, Social.

You were first to suggest Doc. Carson in the VP slot.

Others have suggested Cruz as AG. My preference would be to elevate him to Senate majority leader.

I wonder if Rove and the GOPe’s are listening to Trumps message?

Don't count on it. I just convinces them they need more illegals quicker to drown out the roars of middle America.

Fox ‘special’ Report will add that poll to their list of other lib sites to keep Cruz near the bottom, if they haven’t already.
