Real estate mogul Donald Trump continues to lead the Republican presidential field by a wide margin, after seeing his support dip in late October. Trump leads with 38 percent of the vote, twice the level of support of his nearest competitor, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who takes 19 percent.

Trump 38%, Carson 19%, Cruz and Rubio 7%, Bush 6%.
IMHO Cruz is going to need Trumps wide spread support for high office and that is why I think a Trump/Cruz ticket would be ideal. That would set up Cruz for President in 4 or 8 years.
Yeah, and those banners didn’t get much play on the MSM in the US. Rush has quite a theory about why Obama has not hit ISIS harder this past year. He’s aligned with Iran and Iran does not want the moderate Sunni nations (Jordan, parts of Iraq, the Kurds, etc) to defeat ISIS.
Obama finally had to bomb a few oil tanker trucks to appear to be doing something after the terrorism in Paris.
I would call that blowing away the competition. Carson, Rubio, and Cruz put together all trail by 4!!!
I like that scenario, also. I don't think Cruz is ready to win a general election and the nation needs to get used to him and his style. Years as Trump's VP would be ideal.
Lindsey soared to 1% in this poll, having been stuck closer to 0% since mid-October. Full comparative table is at the link.
I’m not so sure that I would classify the Federal Government that we fund, purposefully importing murderers from halfway around the world against the will of the people a “security concern”.
It’s more than that skippy!
Would love to see him become Chief Justice. The Supremes need a fighter like he is. Lifetime assignment trumps 4 or 8 years.
I agree, but we don't know when a President Trump might have his first appointment. Cruz could be appointed from the VP position, though that would be a little unusual, it would be the thing to do.
I’m so worried that one of the lefties on the Court will retire before Obama leaves office. If Ruth doesn’t leave in the next year . . do you really think she’ll last four years beyond that?
Yesterday Fox was parading Carly and Amnesty crow, completely ignoring Trump.
No, I don't think she would last five more years. I bet the Dims will start pressuring her to retire next year because she's had health problems. Breyer is 77, but I don't know about his health. The other two women are pretty young as far as justices go.
Since the Republicans control the Senate, they could "Bork" Obama nominees, especially late next year, but who knows if there are yet enough Republicans with a spine to vote down a nominee in the Judiciary Committee.
Just pray that all the conservatives remain in good health.
I've noticed that, also. I think he still calls into their morning shows and still appears on Hannity. But most of their shows tried to damage him for months, and when that didn't work, they did start to mostly ignore him.
It’s cool. He seems to be gaining more ground without Fox.
Trump is running away with the nomination. People want a strong president. Trump is the right guy for the world we live in.
“+4”
Actually more like +19, although I know what you meant. The +4 worried me as I thought he might be slipping.
