Donald Trump is the Republican candidate most trusted to manage the economy, deal with foreign leaders and serve as commander in chief, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll of Republicans conducted after the party's third debate.

And more Republicans would trust him with the nation's nuclear weapons than most of the rest of their party's presidential primary field.

In terms of overall support, Trump was favored by 31 percent of Republicans polled by Reuters/Ipsos in an online survey conducted Oct. 28 to Nov. 2 that had a credibility interval of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson placed second with 18 percent. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida and former Governor Jeb Bush tied for third place with 10 percent each.

For anyone still confused about why Trump is holding strong onto a double-digit lead in most presidential primary polls, look no farther than at how much Republican voters trust him.

I have donated to Cruz ever since he declared. Yes, that very night.

He has already done what I wanted him to do, and that was to change the dialog, and he has done that so well that the libs can't ever go back.

Realistically, I understand that Trump will not only likely win the primary but the general as well.

That's probably how I'll vote, God willing and the creek don't rise.

I don’t think any of the leading GOP lights will just vanish. They will show up in the administration of whoever wins (if GOP).

I have donated to Cruz ever since he declared. Yes, that very night.

I suggest you quickly start sending him more money.

[JRandomFreeper]

Why? I got what I wanted.

Just like I did when he ran for Senator.

Looks to me like Dewhurst is back on the farm where he belongs.

I want Carson in charge of the nukes.

Just because he used weapons on people as a youth, believes in end days, and is probably a closet whitey hater wouldn’t affect his judgement at all.

From experience with those who have had it, I’d say he is either bi polar or depressed and on serious mood stabilizers.

but i could be completely wrong.

[dragnet2]

You got what you wanted? What is that?

[dforest]

Sticking with Trump! Go Trump.

[JRandomFreeper]

A change in the dialog.

Some candidates don't really understand the Constitution.

The left can't put that back in the bottle.

/johnny

[dforest]

No he isn’t. He is a freshman Senator. No executive experience either.

[dragnet2]

I see, so you’re throwing money at Cruz every day since he announced, not so he would be elected president, but so he would change the dialog?

Is there anyone who buys that?

[Jane Long]

Amen, dear Johnny, to your well-stated post.

And....may God continue to bless you, dear FRiend.

[JRandomFreeper]

I don't care much whether any mouth breather 'buys' it or not.

And I didn't say 'every day'. That is you putting words in someone else's mouth and exaggerating.

[JRandomFreeper]

I may not be able to vote in either election (I would like to). I've got to effect change where I know I can.

[dragnet2]

I'm glad you got what you wanted out of this election when Cruz changed the entire political landscape and turned DC/MSM on it's head....It was quite historic.

[Zathras]

Here it comes, same attack Bush did on Reagan.
“Trump will start WW3”

[JRandomFreeper]

[BigEdLB]

That is an old attack. Kennedy supporters used that against Nixon in 1960.

[GonzoII]

Trump's poll numbers, that's WHAT!!

[Cheerio]

Yes but before you can do anything about the Illegal Alien Invasion, you got to win the primary and the general elections.

I don't agree with that totally. The GOP Controls the Congress and with the House comes the POWER OF THE PURSE given to them by the founders and the Constitution. What is missing is a SPINE. Maybe I missed you point and the article's point.

Don’t be a chump vote for Trump!
