Donald Trump has over double the voter support of any Republican White House hopeful nationwide, according to a new poll.

Over 4 in 10 Americans are backing Trump's campaign after his victory in New Hampshire's GOP primary last Tuesday, according to a Morning Consult survey released Friday.

...

Trump is also viewed favorably by over 6 in 10 of his party's voters, pollsters found. He has a 67 percent favorability rating, while Rubio takes 62 percent and Cruz 61 percent.

I find it odd that the Hill very selectively chose to include only one side of the equation.

Probably because it's a poll of "Republicans and Republican leaning independents." But if his approval rating amongst half the country is as high as 60+ percent, it seems hard to believe that just by including the Democrats, it can turn upside down. I think that's what's really odd!

Way to try to win over more support for your candidate. Very effective.

He has formed the coalition that the RNC has been praying (preying) for. Now they want to throw it in the sewer for a grey headed socialist or a pantsuited pseudo socialist. Says a lot about Republicans.

“goes back to his position of supporting partial birth abortion”

Another Cruzer, another liar.

Favorability percentage: 67, 62, 61....

So all three are very acceptable based upon the favorability rating.
The question becomes which one can carry their rating forward as the winner.

Can we make it 5? 5 in 10? 4 in 10 is awesome at this stage in the game!

What?

“bans the anti-Christian Trump followers from FR.”
Ban those who you don’t approve of, in other words.

Gee, where have we heard THAT before?

You can lament all you want, but at some point you going to have to man up and deal with reality. Given the sad spectacle of the welfare entrenched, left leaning, and majority minority democrat voting public, there is no conceivable way T.Cruz can fashion an electoral victory. It can’t be done and you don’t have the math on your side to do it.

Without some sort of populism we end up with the criminal hag or the avowed communist. A vote for Cruz is a vote for them.

Cry all you want, but participation trophies have been cancelled this year.

Respectfully,

Wait until the media pounces on Trump, sometime after the nomination. Looks like another 4 years of democratic socialism for us.

Here's an anthem for the Trumpers:

Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you.

Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin?
If I can't help falling in love with you?

Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be.

Take my hand
Take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you.

This was originally one for Chris Matthews, but it fits so very nicely here.

I don’t know why I get attacked on a CONSERVATIVE forum for backing a CONSERVATIVE candidate for the Presidency.

There’s belief in God....then there’s Rafael’s church of the Charimismos. Where they like taunting reptiles.

“Cruzholes”

Please don’t adopt the vulgarity that some of them exhibit.

The contrast was hurting them.

“It’s all over except for the lamentations of the snake-handling Cruzholes.”

No need for the name calling, and I’m a Trump supporter.

Same here. I’d rather set an example here of being a gracious winner. Something I didn’t see after Iowa.

Oh, but a Cruzer told us that his unfavorables were 60 percent. Now his favorables are 60 percent? Wow.

Are people really this dense? I will vote for anyone but a Democrat, but this stupid back and forth between the bots has really brought out the worst.

What you are siting are polls of REPUBLICANS, at this point, I want to know what a poll over Likely Voters says. Big difference. I am hoping ANY Republican can get to 60 percent in that one!

It is entirely another thing to call Christians who support the other candidates "bible thumpers", "snake handlers", "Jesus freaks", etc... and to post pictures of Christians in prayer with the intention of mocking them

I don't know why it is being tolerated here.
