Trump in front! The Donald leads Hillary Clinton in dramatic new poll giving him 45% to the Democrat frontrunner's 40%
The Donald's major flaps regarding harsh comments directed at women and minorities haven't hurt his poll numbers Hillary Clinton has lost 13 points against Trump since May as email scandal won't go away
President Donald?
A new poll is showing that GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump is beating Hillary Clinton 45 percent to 40 percent.
That's a huge change from the results of the same poll in May that came in with Clinton trouncing Trump 58 percent to 30 percent.
Trump's controversial stance on immigration, his 'menstruation' comment toward Fox's Megyn Kelly, and his stumbling on foreign policy questions don't seem to have hurt the swirly-haired real estate mogul in the polls - in fact, they helped.
Clinton's email scandal only seems to have hurt her poll numbers, however.
According to SurveyUSA, Trump also leads the pack of other presidential potentials.
The reality star billionaire beats out Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) by 44 percent to 40 percent and Vice President Joe Biden (who has not declared his candidacy) by 44 percent to 42 percent.
He also beats former Vice President Al Gore, who won the popular vote in 2000 and has not thrown his hat in the ring, by 44 percent to 41 percent.
Thirty percent of the 900 registered voters polled think that Trump will be the Republican nominee, with 20 percent giving it to Florida Governor Jeb Bush.

“Personally, I don’t think establishment GOP will back him at all if he gets the nomination. They won’t because with his own money and his attitude, brazen and brash and unpredictable as it is, he’s something they can’t control. They, GOP establishment, have nothing to offer him.”
Their problem, however, is the down ticket. Difficult for them to F-over Trump and expect those who vote for him will be overjoyed to vote for the rest of their RINO slate.
