Are you saying that Mr. Peanut is a Yebbie supporter? I know Mr. Peanut personally and he's for Trump.

With the Iowa caucuses less than six months away, Donald Trump has taken a runaway lead among the GOP candidates.
While Trump has a commanding position in poll after poll, some news outlets are doing everything they can to downplay his candidacy. Whether by comparing Trump to Herman Cain in 2012, citing his inability to garner the grassroots support needed to win the presidential nomination, or by publishing headlines that a majority of Republican strategists and operatives doubt his capability of winning in either Iowa or New Hampshire, the media loves to hate on the New York-based developer.

After asking Americans to compare themselves ideologically to the two parties in Congress, we were able to separate out likely Republican primary voters into three groups. The first group, made up of voters who place themselves to the right of Republicans, support Trump with 23 percent of the vote, followed by Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz at 11 percent and 10 percent respectively. Meanwhile, GOP voters who place themselves in line with GOP ideology favor Trump at 23 percent as well, followed by Cruz at 15 percent and Rubio at 12 percent.
Finally, GOP primary voters, who place themselves to the left of the Republican Party give Trump his highest number yet — 25 percent support. What’s truly surprising in these numbers is that not only is Trump leading among all three factions of the GOP, but that Bush, who should be the more establishment-friendly candidate, is running a distant fourth among the Republicans who feel aligned with the party.
Undoubtedly, Trump’s lead among all three groups points to some of his staying power, and is evidence that this isn’t just a flavor-of-the-month scenario like we saw with numerous Republican candidates in 2012.

That's the Sanders wing of the GOP - :)
Any polls on how Trump is doing with Democrats?

Only for the Fatcats.
Oh, Bush is a republican. It’s just the rest of us aren’t.
I think Barbara did - once.
Liked Jeb?
Yep, a lifelong Democrat friend of mine.

A TWO percent difference...
So what is the margin of error?
From the poll:
The Bayesian confidence interval for 1,000 interviews is 3.5, which is roughly equivalent to a margin of error of ±3.1 at the 95% confidence level.
He admitted to keeping up a woman on the side, unbeknownst to his wife. If it was strictly platonic, he should have stayed in the race. I am afraid, he, like Cosby, had a lot more to be discovered, I supported him and gave him the benefit of the doubt, but his red handed admission, after an initial denial, lost me.
During the primary campaign in 2012, I had an appointment with my doctor.
When he came into the exam room, he was wearing a sweater vest.
I told him, “You look like Rick Santorum!”
The doctor said, “Not my candidate.”
I told him, “I like Herman Cain. I find it hard to believe that a man who had stage 4 cancer was involved with all these women. If he’s got that kind of stamina, maybe he’s the kind of guy we need as president!”
The doctor laughed.
I never knew that Herman Cain admitted to have a woman on the side. I’d still like to see him run for the Senate in Georgia.
I’m not so sure that being a “republican” is a badge of honor anymore. All the ones I like are disliked by the party high ups.
We don’t really know if the claims of a sex scandal were true do we? I just figured it was the usual $hit from the rats taking out their opposition - it’s not like the rats care who sleeps with who as long as they’re loyal rats.
I also thought Cain’s wife wasn’t up for the blood sport of D.C. politics.
“People like Trump because they see him as being patriotic.
O-bummer never misses an opportunity to say something bad about America, and people are sick of it.”
True, those Americans in France made me feel proud of us again. Absolutely tired of being beat down and apologized for and guilty about hard won success.
Exactly. Carson is this year's Cain. I love him, but I don't think he can defeat the GOPe. I don't think Cruz can get the prize with the deck stacked against him. Trump can, by appealing to the entire spectrum of Republicans, all of whom hate the GOP elites who control our choices. Trump may not be perfect for us conservatives, but if he just takes over the party and fires all the RNC staff, and keeps his promise on the border, he will have saved the country. If he makes Carson or Cruz his VP, he will also set us up for the next election cycle.
The GOPe will all join the Democrats.
