Most Republican voters want Donald Trump to remain in the race for president, and he's the candidate GOP voters are most likely to say they want to see on the debate stage, according to a new CNN/ORC Poll.
Trump, whose campaign for the presidency has come to dominate much of the news coverage of the Republican presidential field since he formally announced his candidacy in mid-June, remains a person Republican voters want to see more of, and a sizable 22% say they think he'll eventually win the party's nomination for president -- second only to Jeb Bush.
Among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who are registered to vote, 52% say they want Trump to stay in the race for the party's nomination, while 33% hope that he drops out. Another 15% say they'd like to see him make an independent run for the presidency.
The CNN/ORC Poll is the first publicly-released national telephone poll to be conducted entirely after Trump talked about Senator John McCain's military record during an Iowa campaign event last weekend, drawing rebukes from Republicans for saying he didn't think McCain is a war hero.
The majority of those Republicans surveyed that wants Trump to remain in the race includes numbers of those seen as the core of the GOP primary electorate: 58% of white evangelicals, 58% of conservatives, and 57% of tea party supporters.

ooops....(LOL)
Can we conclude from this that 42% of those who want Trump to stay in the race are non-white voters, 42% are NOT conservatives, and 43% are NOT tea party supporters?
The way CNN wrote this leaves room for confusion.
LOL...I would pay to see Grandma Clinton on a debate stage with The Donald.
Beautiful.
BTW, I thought it was hilarious when somebody saw Donald's Brooklyn-speaking Jewish lawyer on Hannity-----said they couldn't understand him----thought he was a "foreigner."
I should have said "are 42% of those who want Trump to stay in the race NOT white evangelicals?"
That would include non-whites and non-evangelicals.
That is hilarious.;-)
I knew his father. Wonderful man.
CNN et al can spin this whatever way they want,
fact remains, Trump leads, and CNN and the rest of Big Media are royally pissed about it ... they thought for sure those McCain remarks last week would have finally knocked him out ...
Whose father? Trump’s or Michael Cohen’s?
AFTER the “McCain is not a hero” comment. Hmmmmm I guess THAT will keep the media’s panties in a wad.
You can tell why Trump has this guy as a lawyer. My nickname for him is THE FLAME THROWER.
Heh-—good nickname.
USA= 20 trillion in debt...(how did the clock stop for 5 weeks)
Trump= 10 billion out of debt
I’m gonna listen to what the man has to say. If election were held today he would have my vote.
No, I interpret it as the 42% et al are supporting other GOP candidates.
Who are these people who want ¡Yeb! to turn the U.S.A. into North Mexico?
Watching that idiot Luntz back down and grovel to him was hilarious .
I’m pretty sure that Trump was a registered Democrat for several years starting in 2009. That’s a pretty good indication to me of his Obama Hopes and Dreams.
Could be wrong.
Don’t think so.
His explanation: Bush gave us the Great Recession of 2008. No mention of Barney Frank and the rest of the Dems who pushed the wacko lending practices that were the root cause of that economic disaster.
Is Trump naive enough to believe he can sell that story?
Well I’m not buying.
Help me out...I can’t decide.
At the debate, will Donald use a chainsaw, pneumatic drill or wood chipper on Yebbie?
