Townhall Media and Hot Air commissioned a national poll from Survey Monkey, with whom NBC News has partnered this election cycle. Our colleague Ed Morrissey offers a full demographic breakdown of the 1,783 respondents HERE, as well as an explanation of the organization's methodology. The partisan sample was D+10. Results, starting on the Republican side:
(1) In accordance with other national polling, Donald Trump leads the primary battle among self-identified Republican voters, with 29 percent support. Ben Carson is in second place (10.45 percent), followed by Jeb Bush (9.59 percent), Marco Rubio (6.40 percent), and Carly Fiorina (5.97 percent). John Kasich and Ted Cruz are in the four percent neighborhood, with Rand Paul, Chris Christie and Scott Walker at or below two percent support. This poor performance from Walker appears to be an outlier, but keep an eye on that trend. When you factor in independents' GOP primary preferences, Trump maintains a large lead, though a plurality of respondents remain undecided:

Aw, come on! With slices so thin, why couldn’t Lindsay’s have been lavender??
So the Trump capping at 25% prediction we’ve heard all along is not that far off?
The hope for those pundit predictors has been that the big chunk of undecided and those currently supporting other candidates will switch their support to surviving candidates but never Trump camp.
I am over half a century old.
In all my decades of life, I have never seen a pie chart labeled anywhere close to that level of unreadability before.
This take gibberish in graphics to a whole new level.
Even though the information contained is in the direction of what I want to hear, I have to both reject and mock this article because the sheer level of incompetence displayed in the presentation precludes any confidence that accuracy is even the most remote possibility.
I would like to see a poll that asks who would be the voter’s second choice.
The headline hints at a more interesting portion of the article that was not excerpted—the Democratic Side: Clinton 38, Sanders 32, Biden 13, undecided/scattered 17
Why are we concentrating on this stuff, when Rush Limbaugh is using up most of the time talking about his hearing problem? /sarc
Is the clintoon woman stood a chance she’d be far far FAR ahead of Mrs Sanders Lil Bernie!
She’s in a scripted presser right now. It’s so full of Clinton-speak it’s sickening. She’s using wordsmithing to weasel and lie her way out of classified emails. She’s making claims which are not law. It’s not illegal to make the claims however. No follow up questions. Just ranting lecture from the hag.
Townhall is an unreadable website.
No follow up questions
ahahahahaha She can try to reframe reality to her hearts content..but ever more Americans ..even some Low Info Types.. are seeing through her flimsy mask and are now able to discern just what sort of criminal hag this woman is.
To be honest.. I’ll miss hillary.....as shes just so easy to ridicule!!!
Well, that chart is unreadable.
“In all my decades of life, I have never seen a pie chart labeled anywhere close to that level of unreadability before.”
Hmmm. I didn’t have trouble interpreting it. Probably done automatically by Excel.
Be careful what you wish for...you just might get it.
“Why are we concentrating on this stuff”
Because there a lot of rubes/chumps/marks in the world.
That is a fascinating tale yet to unfold in near future.
I imagine there are not that many Clinton loyalists, most of them are happy with any Dem, as long as the gravy train don’t stop.
Charts are sometimes useful, sometimes useless. In this case it doesn’t give such a quite clear picture. In head to heads Trump basically only beats Cruz. The country is screwed up beyond repair. Trump or no Trump.
And BTW, she said it was North Korea who requested to deal with Bill instead of her or her agency.
OMG.........That is sad.

His show has been getting to sound like three hours of commercials with breaks for his opinions.
