A new national poll out today by OANN and Gravis Marketing has Trump up to 40%, his YUGEST lead ever over his Republican contenders. Here’s how each candidate rated:

While Carson’s lead more than doubled, he’s still a distant second place with the rest of the GOP field behind him. Not that Jeb lost a bit as both Cruz and Fiorina gained.

Here’s the info on the poll:

Gravis Marketing, a nonpartisan research firm, conducted a random survey of 3,567 registered voters across the U.S. regarding the presidential election. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 2%. The total may not equal exactly 100% due to rounding. The polls were conducted on August 21-22 using interactive voice response, IVR, technology and weighted separately for each population in the question presented.

How in the hell is Bush polling so high?

It is ridiculous that they are still wasting everyone’s time. Are they getting some financial reward to stay in?

All candidates for federal office can draw salary AND benefits EQUAL to the office they are running for. The base salary for president is $400,000 a year, add in benefits, 'vacation time', 'sick time', etc.. So if you stay in the race (even if it is just on paper) for one year and one day, you're talking more than a million dollar payday from campaign funds.

So yes, there's a huge financial reward for staying in.

Why is Carson surging more than Cruz?

Poor Jeb!

Less than 25% of Trumps numbers...

This is delicious..lol

Hate seeing Cruz at 7 though :-(
He needs energy lessons from Trump.
I really want Trump to bring Cruz along with him in this.

Name recognition + name recognition for Trump.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Bush has establishment hangers-on. It does not mean they have enthusiasm for him. In their weird strategy minded thinking, they think he is their best bet. They cannot see the writing on the wall.

In before nickcarraway :)

[RC one]

Yup. And when it’s Trump versus Bernie Sanders, a lot of the people that said they would never vote for or otherwise support Donald Trump will suddenly have a change of heart.

[entropy12]

Helps a lot to have 2 recent presidents in the family name.

[nhwingut]

Yes, he's doing good. But his ceiling is very low, ya know. It's not sustainable.

Probably somewhere around 20%,25%,30% ,35%, 40%...

Yep, that's the ticket. 40%, tops... Back to you Bret.

Over at RNC headquarters

Poof! There goes another one.

[spokeshave]

Ha...looking for 41.7%...and control of the market.

[GOPJ]

Three democrats I know in the real world told me they’re backing Trump. Two of them are in their early twenties... one in her sixties. All of them voted for Obama last time. Something strange is happening.

These polls are so fake. See, for example, this one that was just released, which shows ENTIRELY different results:

It’s time for the last nine or 10 to call it a learning experience and go home. Rubio, Huck, Walker, Perry, Paul, Christy, Pataki, Santorum, Jindal, and Graham are done. Rubio might last a little longer, but there must be a huge scarcity of financial support for those ten.

15%, 18, 22, 26, 30, 32, 41, do I hear 50?

[NoDRodee]

Gilmore will still pull it out, don’t believe the polls?

[BigEdLB]

I did too... Look at the head to head

[TigerClaws]

I’d like to see Trump / Cruz with Trump doing one term. He’ll be ready by then most likely to bow out.

Ben Carson would be an excellent Surgeon General.
