Donald Trump, the GOP frontrunner, hit the 40 percent marker in a recent Gravis Marketing poll. According to a report, this is the first time a candidate has reached above the 30 percent mark.
Since the previous survey done by Gravis Marketing on July 31, Trump increased almost 10 points. Dr. Ben Carson increased 7 points and was named the winner in a Post GOP Debate Poll.
Trump, Carson, and Fiorina three of the top five GOP presidential candidates, have never held office.
The Gravis results were as follows:
Donald Trump – 40.1%
Ben Carson – 13%
Jeb Bush – 10%
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)96% – 7 %
Carly Fiorina – 5.2%
John Kasich – 4.8%
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)80% – 4.7%
Mike Huckabee – 3.7%
Scott Walker – 3.5%
Rick Perry – 1.5%
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)93% – 1.5%
Chris Christie – 1.4%
George Pataki – 1.1%
Rick Santorum – 1%
Bobby Jindal – 0.9%
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)47% – 0.6%
The poll surveyed 3,567 voters randomly across the United States. It had a margin of error of plus or minus two percent and was conducted August 21-22.

But not the GOPe. They are pathetic, helpless, hapless, clueless stooges.
And totally beholden to the "K" Street pimps and bundlers. The "For Sale" signs on the White House lawn and Capitol steps have to be removed.
In my opinion, no matter which republican candidate wins the presidency, they’ll be sadly mistaken if they don’t appoint Dr. Ben Carson to the Cabinet. Surgeon General perhaps?
Trump - as much as the following 5 leading candidates combined.
is that all you got?
Once again, proves my point. Personal attacks are all you have because the facts down back up the worship of your flawed candidate.
I’ve got nothing against Cruz but it sure looks like we’re going to have a president Trump.
Forget doubling down, the Stupid GOPe Party is gonna triple down on stupid. Trump should break 50 in a month.
This is YUGE!

You make a unilateral proclamation about what is or is not Conservative and then get all butt-hurt when called out on the fact you are in no position to make such a deluded ego-inflated call.
This has nothing to do with any candidate. It is all about you pretending to be some sort of authority when your opinion carries all the weight of Kenny on South Park.
I like Trump, but he isn’t my guy by any means. But I am willing to bet you are a Jeb! guy.
Great to see Bush going down.

“You make a unilateral proclamation about what is or is not Conservative and then get all butt-hurt when called out on the fact you are in no position to make such a deluded ego-inflated call.”
Really, I’m over-stretching considering the following items qualify as “conservative”
- Limited Government
- Low Taxes
- Support for Life, Liberty, and the Everyone’s Pursuit of Happiness free of unnecessary Government intervention
- Respect for Life beginning at conception and continuing until death
- Supporting the Troops/Strong military and realizing Freedom isn’t free
- A strict, originalist interpretation of the Constitution and
- An understanding of where our God-given rights come from
Trump fails on several aspects of those simple tenets which are though were self-explanatory but apparently is not to you.
And give me a break with the whole Jebbers garbage. Just because I’m not willing to sell out my conservative beliefs to some liberal charlatan like Trump doesn’t make me a fan of the GOPe. They’re both sad and pathetic. The GOPe hates Trump because he’s a threat to their power, but Trump sees that power and wants it for himself, not to benefit the people. If the two groups could cancel themselves out and let the real conservative like Cruz rise in this race all the better.

Here's a link to the poll with results shown. It doesn't say how they did this if it
was by party or otherwise but they did asked party affiliation.
They did asked which candidate in the GOP/DEM primary would you vote for. They gave a choice
They then went to Hillary versus each GOP candidate one on one. Clinton only won one of those,
it being against Jindal. Clinton tied Christie, Fiorina, Paul, Rubio. Clinton lost to all
the other GOP Candidates.
Click the link and scroll down for the results, worth a click IMO.
But we have been told by the GOPe’s his ceiling was 25%.
Trump will gain more points with his “Conversation” with Ramos.
Well if they self selected which primary it probably includes a lot of independents. If the other polls only include registered Republicans that would explain the difference. Trump is going to do yuge among independents in the open primaries, and get a lot of Democrat votes too.
I don’t care how many pretend bonafides you list.
You are not the spokesperson for Conservatives so you should stop admiring yourself in the mirror of your mind.
Other than thinking you are an ass, you have no idea where I stand on anything.
You GOPe types are all the same. List bullet points while not understanding what Conservatism really means.
It’s to early in the process to declare anyone the candidate for sure. It is a long campaign and many things can and will happen. I personally am appalled so many Freepers believe Trump is conservative. I don’t believe he is pro-life. When he talks about it, he seems insincere. He said he thought it was “stupid” to defund PP. Because his wife and daughter care about women’s “health”. Nope, I don’t trust him.
It’s almost getting silly now—27% points ahead of his nearest rival in a field of 17?
Ted Cruz please stop posting. You must have more important things to do.
Every time Trump opens his mouth his poll numbers go up again!
