No candidate elicits responses from the electorate like Donald Trump, and that was proven again by conservative pollster Frank Luntz.
Luntz, appearing on Fox News’ “Hannity” Monday night, showed video of a focus group he did with Republican voters on the topic of Trump, and the responses were plentiful.
“It was one of the best focus groups I’ve ever done,” Luntz said. “This is what Trump is causing all across the country. This wonderful explosion of passion.”
Some in the group loved Trump because he speaks his mind, while others disliked his rhetoric and tone.
Luntz said he believes Trump will be polling at 25 or 30 percent in the next 30 days because of the passion he prompts.
“Because he speaks differently, because he doesn’t put sentences together the same way, because he doesn’t use the same soundbites, because he says what he means and means what he says – it’s one of the reasons why he’s got this appeal right now,” Luntz said.

That was the most obvious planted focus groups ever. You could tell he put a number of Trump haters who went way over the top. Luntz has a lot to lose if people ignored his focus groups.
Pray America is waking
Luntz is a fraud.
But the passion was palpable in that group. There were several times it looked like people were going to come to blows.
And the anti-Trump people were just wrong in what they said.
Lutz went potted plant shopping.
On the poll 37% said they’d stay home if the choice is Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio. lol
And Bush is running 9% would vote for him. How the heck does every poll have him as high as they do?
Yep—Luntz is a pure propagandist. Take the candidate with twice as much support as anyone else in a 20-candidate field and put together a “focus group” where 70% of the participants oppose him. Present it to the public and it’s a classic Delphi technique of trying to convince would-be supporters that they must be missing something if they’d support someone so unpopular. That any other option is only a quarter or half as popular at best is completely papered over with this type of propaganda.
Now THERE’s a guy (Luntz) with fraudulent hair. Not Trump.
It's got to be mindless name recognition. What else could it be? Even most folks who liked him as governor don't want him as the nominee.
Now this would be an interesting experiment: Put a fake, but well-known, name in as one of the poll's choices. Calvin R. Reagan, maybe. Ol' CRR might just get 9% of the vote.
About time we had a candidate who inspired people to action. I see Trump as a “flash in the pan” but now—I am thinking—he just might make it to the White House. Passion, like Reagan inspired long ago. It would be Karmic if he won the election.
One thing we need to keep in mind is, while Reagan and Trump had and have very similar desires for the type of America we get back to having; The Reagan world then, and the Trump world now, are light years apart.
When Reagan came along, America was light years more nationalistic and patriotic from top to bottom than it is now. In the 80s pretty well everybody knew that Islam and muslim terrorists living out the docrinal COMMANDS of the Koran, were the ENEMIES of Liberty.
What Trump is up against is that SINCE the 80s, tens of millions of school children have been dumbed down and brainwashed to have no idea who are enemies of America. Additional tens of millions of citizens have been beguiled into giving up their liberty, their American birthright and trading it for a monthly welfare check and assorted “free shit”.
Under Obola, additional millions of previously enterprising, hardworking Americans have been victimized by his and the democRats’ diligent commitment to destroying the economy, and flooding the Country with tens of millions of illegal aliens, so that our personal independence and self sufficiency and confidence has been undermined and/destroyed.
Trump has a more difficult row to hoe than Reagan did. But Trump’s experience and achievements in building huge, gorgeous, successful enterprises gives him, to my mind, a considerable edge over what Reagan had when he walked into the Oval Office. Trump knows the ropes of conducting BIG business. He knows how to negotiate and make winning deals. He’s on a first name basis with the best negotiators on the planet. And much, much more. I’m confident that Trump can turn the Country around if ANYBODY can. If we fail to elect TRUMP/CRUZ in 2016, the Country will be lost and the Obunga, Reid, Pelosi, Soros, Jarrett, Putin cabal will have won. IMHO.
Agreed he got Cameron in as Tory leader, against a real Conservative David Davis in the UK, by fiddling a focus group poll.
He has tons of form and it’s all bad.
In my case, it would be an answer to prayer. Let me hasten to say that before Trump’s announcement and several subsequent rallies and speeches, I NEVER prayed specifically for TRUMP. I prayed for SOMEONE with some clout to rise up and step up and stop America’s slide into oblivion.
But at that point, especially after seeing his kind, solicitous care for the grieving loved ones of some victims of illegal alien murderers, I began to feel in my spirit that he COULD be the answer to prayer.
Then I viewed an interview he gave in Trump Tower with some media type, who asked him how he could put his businesses on a back burner and run for President. His answer pretty well clinched it for me. He replied, “Because making America great again is more important than my businesses.”
Actually, his businesses will do just fine in his absence. He very wisely has groomed his two sons and his daughter to carry on the businesses just the way he would run them. And I’m feeling more optimistic now than I have in decades.
Thanks for your upbeat post.
The way that Trump prepared his children (and even ex-wife) to run his business interests effectively really impressed me and shows me that he is a serious-minded man. Not the clownish caricature that the tabloids (and conventional media) have portrayed him to be over the years.
Luntz perplexed because people are still mad at Christie for hugging Obama after Storm Sandy and helping to throw the election Obama’s way - here’s the story, Frank - it was an obsequious act the implication of which was that Christie needed to implore Obama to be magnanimous in giving funds to the poor people of New Jersey - in fact the funds were not Obama’s to give - they were taxpayers’ monies, and it was Obama’s duty under the law to release them because of the disaster which had overtaken the state - with his groveling Christie gave Obama the undeserved mantle of being the generous and impartial leader and two percentage points additional in the election.....
