No, Donald Trump, This New Poll Is Not ‘Great News’ For You. Not Hardly

By Philip Bump September 30 Great news, Donald Trump tweeted Wednesday: The "highly respected" USA Today/Suffolk University poll shows him still leading the Republican field. (Things that are favorable to him enjoy high levels of respect from The Donald.) He added: Enjoy! This is the picture Trump wants to highlight. Since July, he's improved dramatically in Suffolk/USA Today's poll.

Of course it really means that polls this far in advance don’t mean anything but that doesn’t fill the page at the WaPo so they print garbage “analysis” like this.

Specifically, do you have a personal problem with DT running for President?

Why do you use FR to trash DT constantly?

Please...?

You really don’t have to ask that question, do you? This is another CW type of person - constant negative articles. I’m only responding to your post - otherwise, I refuse to comment on steelfish’s threads.

At LEAST he does NOT RANDOMLY SCREAM his opinions at US, like that OTHER one DOES.

Yet.

;D

If Bush or Rubio Or FioRino were polling Trump’s numbers, WAPO would be orgasmic. And every one of the other candidates would kill to be sitting with Trump’s poll numbers at this stage.

Silly season is over. People are focusing on impending war with Russia, much more interesting.

So Trump has about a +6% increase from July to September in a very crowded field. How is that bad news for him?

Washington Compost rides again....(yawn)

If Trump was so bad, then why is he leading in ALL the polls?

Did your little pickled brain tell you that you didn't have anything to think with?

Where ever Trump goes, Fox, Cnn, 60 minutes, NH, SC, Iowa, on the battleship in CA, there is a big following, the ratings go sky high, and yes, he is leading...

Take your little pickled fairy tale brain and go get another drink, your going to need it soon....

Good discernment. People trash Trump but they don’t look at the flaws of their own candidate, which could be worse than Trump’s.

Obama votes against ousting Saddam... then stands on floor of U.N. and says we need to get rid of dictators who killer their own. ?

Putin is a thug but he’s right. The only good Arab is a dead Arab and they are better living under the foot of dictators than in a terrorist Sharia state.

Nobody you want to win could ever win. That is the point. The fact the WaPo hates Trump must mean he is doing something right.

Geesh what a joke you are. I guess Jeb is a better option for you!

Your cheer! Go GOPe! Yeah rah!

I like Trump, I don’t like Bush. The analysis of Trump’s negatives has merit. A 60% negative is not good. Also it may be true that in a less crowded field Trump will fall behind.

I’d sure feel better if his positives were above 50%.

And I’m more than glad to vote for him.

My understanding of these "negatives" is that the question is asked of all persons of age to vote, not just registered Repubs.

If polls don’t matter why does Trump jump up and down about his all the time?

If that poll shows Trump leveling off, it also shows Carson leveling off or declining. So it’s worse news for his #1 challenger.

And while Fiorina is gaining, she’s not going to survive scrutiny. Meanwhile Bush “is a disaster”.

All in all, excellent news for the Donald.

This author must be a moron.

That statement applies to every liberal I’ve ever know-—and I’ve known lots of them

“A 60% negative is not good. Also it may be true that in a less crowded field Trump will fall behind.I’d sure feel better if his positives were above 50%.”

Correct. The “for” part of polls at this stage is far less important than the “against” because people are split as to their favorite.

Hillary has negative rating in excess of 50%, which means she can’t get elected.

Trump’s negatives bode equally badly for him.

The most viable candidate at this time would be in at least the middle of the pack positive and less than 50% negative. Not sure who this is.
