Trump has leapt some 17 percentage points among likely Republican voters since Nov. 6, when he was essentially tied with Ben Carson at about 25 percent. Trump now captures 42 percent of those voters while Carson has fallen off slightly.
Among all Republicans – not simply likely primary voters – Trump holds a substantial edge over Carson, at 34 percent to about 20 percent, according to the Reuters/Ipsos poll.

Help us Obi-wan, you're our only chance.
Obviously, I disagree entirely with your premise. But, carry on, and good luck to you.
Well, with what has been going on over in Paris, Trump’s idea of a wall is looking good all the time.
Trump is the only one who will protect us. That’s a simple fact.
We will bomb the shit out of them!
G_d only knows how much free air time he's been given.
The question I would have for Trump is does he recognize we are at war and will he take every necessary measure to assure we win.
I cannot see Hillary fighting ISIS. Or dealing with Putin. The same for Rubio and Kusich.
Much to the chagrin of the dopey Cruz supporters who were saying Trump would be out of the race by Monday. Let’s face it. Cruz can’t cut the mustard. Because Cruz cannot beat Trump is this reason to say Trump should get out too? Maybe some of the guys running against Trump should try creating some jobs or making some great deals before running for President.
Thanks for the link and poll info.
According to some here he is finished(for the 20th time).
Go Trump!
Amen, Flaglady.
Trump excels at dealing with the greatest threat to this country, the one that would not be reversible and that is immigration.
Meanwhile Jeb is surging like a dropped hammer.
A desire for secure borders will drive the election, that means Trump will win. National security and national sovereignty. Once the borders are secured, your concerns can be addressed. First things first.
Unbelievable
Based on what happended in Paris today. I am going to predict that illegal immigration and/or including muslim refugee immigration is going to be a winning topic among all voters in this election.
“He is entertaining, but in my opinion he would be a disaster of a President on the scale of Obama.”
I fully agree. In my opinion, Mr. Trump is not suited for the office of POTUS either by his temperament or experience. It scares me when posters (no disrespect intended) like GilGil want a “ruthless” POTUS.....that “ruthless” nature can turn on you.
By the way, Dr. Carson is also not suited for the office of POTUS either by his temperament or experience.
I AM NOT here to be a spokesperson for Senator Cruz. He is, however, in my opinion the best candidate (by his temperament and experience) of those existing viable candidates to lead this country. We need a “leader” and not a CEO from the business world. Mr. Trump will not be able to do those things necessary to make a republic work; he is used to dictating not leading. Dr. Carson is a decent human being, but he lacks experience in the workings of government (as does Mr. Trump).
As much as we disdain “professional” politicians, it does take someone with experience, like Senator Cruz, to make things work.
Confession - I am primarily a social conservative, and that is my main concern. The only viable “social conservative” is Senator Cruz. The others are essentially no longer in the race. I do not consider Dr. Carson to be a bonifide conservation on all social issues. It concerns me that social conservatives are being drawn towards him. I will not bad mouth or disrespect him though, but do not think him suitable for POTUS. Regarding Mr. Trump, I do not think he can be trusted to keep the various and assundry promises he has made regarding social issues.
My feelings/beliefs on the primary and general election is this. If the GOP doesn’t put a bonifide social conservation in the top spot on the ticket, I will not support that individual in the general election. Thus, I will not support Mr. Trump or Dr. Carson. Having Senator Cruz as the running mate to Mr. Trump just ruins Senator Cruz in my eyes. I would not vote for that ticket either.
Yes.....POTUS, Obama....the ISIS JV (Junior Varsity) is fully contained, as we now can see clearly with the massive ISIS slaughter in France this evening!!! ISIS has set you up, and you fell for the bait, like the total incompetent leader you are...yes, you, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and the entire “Obamabot” Democrat Party!!!
America, Americans....you are in harm’s way, serious, critical, harm’s way!!! Without further ado....Donald Trump is the one!!! Go Donald Trump!!! Trump....tough and straight forward as he is, is just what we need as a leader!!! “The Donald” is truly....”the man for all seasons” for our nation!!! TRUMP IS THE MAN!!!
“Expect Trumps numbers to rise again Particularly after the “bomb the shit out of them†comment last night!”
I didn’t put the 2 events together yet - good catch!
