NBC Poll: Trump Up Again, Holds 10-Point Lead After Debate
newsmax.com ^ | 8/9/15 | Greg Richter

Posted on 08/09/2015 4:19:05 PM PDT by cotton1706

Businessman Donald Trump remains the leader in the race for the GOP presidential nomination in the wake of the first debate, a new NBC/Survey Monkey poll shows.

Businesswoman Carly Fiorina, widely touted as the winner of the earlier "happy hour" debate of the lower-tiered candidates also got good news. She rose six points up to 8 percent – enough to put her in fourth place. If that trend continues in other polls she would earn a spot in the next GOP debate in September between the top 10 candidates.

The poll was conducted during a 24-hour period overnight Friday into Saturday morning while controversy raged over Trump's debate exchanges with Fox News moderator Megyn Kelly and his remarks about her later. That also was coupled with RedState chief Erick Erickson's decision to disinvite Trump to speak to the RedState Gathering on Saturday.

Here's how all the candidates included fared:

Donald Trump, 23 percent (up 1 point)

Ted Cruz, 13 percent (up 7 points)

Ben Carson, 11 percent (up 3 points)

Carly Fiorina, 8 percent (up 6 points)

Marco Rubio, 8 percent (no change)

Jeb Bush, 7 percent (down 3 points)

Scott Walker, 7 percent (down 3 points)

Mike Huckabee, 5 percent (up 1 point) Rand Paul, 5 percent (down 1 point)

Rick Perry, 2 percent (no change)

John Kasich, 2 percent (down 1 point)

Lindsey Graham, 1 percent (no change)

Bobby Jindal, 1 percent (no change)

Chris Christie, 1 percent (down 2 points)

George Pataki, 0 percent (no change)

Rick Santorum, 0 percent (down 1 point)

Spin will be that Trump’s support has peaked. Reached his ceiling. Fiorina will be touted as the next big thing. She’s their last hope it seems

Fiorina up? My, my, how things can change overnight. They might want to recheck those numbers Monday morning after she’s run her mouth all weekend.

Very good. Send that to Fox News and they'll hire you as a consultant. LOL

“[Kasich] said the same sex marriage debate is over.”

Just like Ubama said the debate is over on Obummercare. Once the Left secures a victory they announce it can no longer be challenged.

What does this say about Kasich?

He’s a squishy moderate. He increased medicaid in Ohio. Ohio still has an oppressive income tax and is ranked 17th worst tax hell according to Forbes. He’s done nothing to reduce the size of state government. He’s slightly better than Christie, but only because he would never shut down a bridge to spite another polltician.

You may be right. Kasich's answer about homosexual marriage was politically impeccable, but only for the establishmentarians. For the rest of us, a wash at best.

Despite Fiorina's opportunistic piling on over the Trump comment, I am glad to see her come up in the polls. I would love to see her in the top tier next month.

RE: Go, Cruz, GO!!

Dream team: Ted Cruz/Carly Fiorina

Before you anti Carly’s get your panties in a twist. Carly can say things about Hillary that no man can say. And she will.

Only one of the top four in the poll has ever held office and that guy, Cruz, is anti-GOPe and called McConnell a liar. Go Cruz!

Actually, Trump has more years of experience as CEO than all the rest put together.

He now wants to be CEO of the US. He has a proven track record of winning in a game where there are no fixed rules and the playing field is constantly changing.

Trump is the worst guy ever, until you consider four names, Dole, Bush, McCain, and Romney.

He’s the worst guy ever until you think of two men on capital hill, John Boehner and Mitch McConnell.

He’s the worst guy ever until you think Jeb Bush.

Then there’s Rick, Huckabee, some dude named Happy Gilmor, and others.

He’s the least self-controlled person you could imagine, until you think of Beck, Rosie O’Donnell, and others who have no self control when they talk about him.

Then there’s the media and supposedly Republican entities, who join the left to lie about Trump charging him with something he didn’t do.

There’s the nation’s media that hates him. In fact here’s a list of all the others who do.

Yep, everyone is taking the high road but Trump, and with him in power our nation will be at severe risk.

Strangely enough, our nation has been in the control of Democrats and Republicans for the last 150 years.

How’s it doing?

Priebus? Boehner? McConnell? How is it doing?

I look at what the nation looked like in January of 1989, and I can hardly recognize it. It’s closer to looking like 1930s Europe or 1916 Russia than 1776 New England.

Priebus, McConnell, Boenher, Dole, Bush, McCain, Romney, what did you do to make it better?

Damn that Trump. Look what he’s done to our nation.
