Three weeks ago, Club for Growth Action began a $1 million TV buy in Iowa. The ads (click here to view) finally began to expose Donald Trump’s extremely liberal record on taxes, health care, bailouts, and property rights. A new poll of likely Iowa Republican caucus voters indicates that the more they hear about Trump’s record, the more they reject it.

Good point...The liberals will love it and Trump's base just don't care...I know I don't care what Trump thought 10 years ago...
More unbiased information from the Bushbots at Club for Growth Action.
And post a reply on the club for growth site critical of them and it disappears.
That’s funny.
No. Not funny or odd... It’s called Uniparty Statism
I agree. I also think it’s interesting they seem to do some sort of an elimination filtering the response to 60%.
I’m not sure exactly what they are doing, but it isn’t the typical internet poll that can be gamed or polled heavily lopsided due to the audience a site normally attracts, Left or Right.
There is a method to this. I don’t see it as worthy of less trust than polls pumping out outlandish results that nobody challenges.
As usual, I don’t see any hard data on the survey (like wording of questions, etc.) other than the margin of error making the article meaningless propaganda.
Trump haters are mostly frustrated supporters of Ted Cruz.
Exactly. Quinnipiac today is so full of internals spread over 3 files for each state, it is wild.
First of all Trump has no legislative record, so this group is full of crap. Only Trump’s tax agenda I have heard of is when he proposed a one time tax on mega rich people to pay off national debt. That would include himself paying millions of dollars in tax.
Paying off your debts is EXTREMELY CONSERVATIVE. It is the republicans fiscal liberals who keep adding to national debt every year. House of Reps with repub majority can stop the excessive spending any time. But they never do it.
Get ready to see lot more Ads from GOPe trying to destroy Trump. They do not want to lose power, money & control.
Trump is having his own ads being made for Iowa and New Hampshire.
Club for Growth = Importing cheap labor express of immigrants.
The guy who runs Basswood, does numerous polls for CFG....paid for by CFG!

Last cycle, Lerner, a Minneapolis native, advised winning statewide candidates in Alaska, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Utah. He has also worked for the Club for Growth and the Republican Governors Association.
I have to believe Trump will spare no effort or money resources to counter the GOPe propaganda.
There was half a dozen headlines on yahoo this morning that Trump was dropping out. That's some serious hallucinogic they're on.
Thanks for that.
Sure is. Trump just touted three polls this morning, 33-35%, 31.8%, and 28% in Florida where he was getting 21%.
Getting out? LOL
You nailed it with your hallucinogenic comment.
Here’s are some very *interesting* findings, from Basswood Research (CFG’s polling company)....from 2013, on “comprehensive immigration” policies.....a “survey” conducted for Americans for a Conservative Direction....aka Haley Barbour, Dan Senor and Sally Bradshaw (former COS for Gov ¡Jeb!...
*********
On July 8, 2013, Basswood Research conducted a nationwide survey of voters who have a history of voting in Republican primary elections. The survey was conducted by live professional interviewers by telephone. The sample size was 1000, with a margin of error of +/- 3.1%, at a 95% confidence interval. Interviews were geographically distributed to reflect actual voting patterns by Republicans nationally.

CONCLUSIONS
Contrary to some perceptions, it is clear that Republican Members of Congress who support comprehensive immigration reform, including a pathway to citizenship, do not run afoul of the majority opinion of their primary voters. That is true in every region of the country, and in suburban and rural districts alike. It is true with Tea Party voters, social conservatives, fiscal conservatives, and moderate Republicans alike as well.
There are around 20% of GOP primary voters who oppose most forms of immigration reform. This minority tends to be vocal, but their level of activism should not be confused with the size of their numbers. The large majority of primary voters see a badly broken immigration system and want it fixed.
Most Republicans are willing to support a pathway to U.S. citizenship, provided that several conditions are met, including criminal background checks, learning English, paying fines, and waiting a period of years.
Of primary concern to Republicans is securing the border to prevent future illegal immigration. There is understandable skepticism that neither Congress nor the Obama Administration can be relied on to actually enforce real border security. If provisions are put in place to satisfy these concerns, then a large majority of Republican primary voters will support comprehensive reform.

So, is this how the GOPee is justifying amnesty to the conservative members of Congress???
People view illegal immigration the way they do, because our officials laugh at it.
Show me a man that will clearly address it for what it is, and the public opinion will change dramatically.
It’s illegal
The illegals sap our schools, hospitals, government services...
Communities become instant slums...
Hospital emergency rooms come under tremendous pressure to close, because it’s a gateway to free services to illegals.
Kids in school sit there reading, while the children of illegal immigrants are taught English. Everyone falls behind.
Who wants this?
This is the group that was wanting 1 million dollars from Trump. He told them no. He also posted their ask letter on Twitter. Glad he didn’t give these marxists a dime!
....more like the Club for Amnesty Whores
