Pollster Zogby: Trump Just Weeks From Running Out of Gas
Newsmax ^ | August 25, 2014 | Bill Hoffmann

"I just don't see how he sustains this over a long period of time. Frankly, I give it another month … mid-September," Zogby, CEO of Zogby Analytics, said Tuesday to J.D. Hayworth on "Newsmax Prime."

"So much of [Trump's campaign] is based on being outrageous. How long can you be outrageous? And be outrageous every single day is what he's being." "As soon as he puts together two or three days where there isn't anything outrageous, where the press isn't there, where he just doesn't get this kind of attention, he himself may very well just get bored with that.

"This probably has taken off for him a whole lot bigger and a whole lot faster than he even dreamt."

Appearing with Zogby was Craig Shirley, president of Shirley & Bannister Public Relations, who said of the billionaire developer who remains the GOP frontrunner:

"An old political consultant, Ronald Reagan's campaign manager, John Sears, said politics is motion and the one person in this race who does seem to understand that axiom is Donald Trump.

Shirley said Trump's appeal lies more with the "Joe Six Pack, blue collar, lunch bucket crowd" than it does with the "country club elites."

"It's interesting that so many populist leaders over the past, both Democratic and Republican, whether it's Teddy Roosevelt or Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan, came out of the middle class or even the upper classes," he said.

"Some came out of the military elites, but they saw for themselves the corruption of the elites and in fact led populist upheavals in America and we're seeing that today."

Has anyone noticed that the Univisions of the world,and the Macy’s of the world are awfully quiet these days.

For some reason they are no longer to be found. If Trump was on the ropes you would think these cowardly organizations would be piling in. They have all disappeared because they are terrified of Trump.

Don’t know exactly what Zogby is doing. Maybe he is having a Luntz moment before he gets on his knees and begs forgiveness. Who knows.

Trump is pulling away.

Doing things like this Iran rally in Washington with 50,000-100,000 people attending will seal the deal.

Can you imagine if this deal goes down to defeat after the rally what that will do for Trump and Cruz’ numbers?

While Trump is not perfect in some of these confrontations; he is not relying on being "outrageous." Most of us find him on balance, very refreshing. The pollster is looking in the wrong direction for determining what he can expect.

People do not abandon something considered "refreshing," so easily.

Based on anger dude, not being outrageous.

Better question for Zogby: How much longer you think the middle class is going to sit around and let politicians give their stuff away without snuffing one or two out?

If Trump doesn’t win, that’s what it will come to.

Trump likely knows what this guy says, and we all know how Trump responds to threats, challenges and other attempts to disparage or discourage him ... people have been doing that to him all his life.

Not to worry, Trump knows how to handle someone desperate for attention, someone desperate to be relevant, someone, well, like zogby.
