Actually it's a Bloomberg and a Des Moines Register poll. Both of these organizations have a record of a strong dislike for Trump more so than much of the media who pretty much dislike Trump, which is saying a lot. Bloomberg/Register are the paying sponsors for the poll. It's naive to think they do not have sway about how the pollsters conduct and craft or design the polls. They have input.
You can believe that Trump is going to win, and you can believe that on whatever basis you choose, polling or just because the cut of his jib agrees with your sense of aesthetics. Throw yourself into it.
Hundreds of poll over the last 6 months show Trump dominating even the ones that are conducted by organizations that have a significant bias against Trump. It is a strong indicator that Trump is in a very strong position to win the primaries in the coming months.
LOL! In what world is Trump winning and not one ballot cast?
In about 58 days tick toc... you'll get your wish, but likely not the results.
that I object to is the dishonest slagging of the other guy. You say some of that comes from Cruz partisans. No doubt, that is so.
Glad you're not a totally blind Cruzer. Plenty nastiness coming from your side.
But I follow these threads and you are comparing a chihuahua to a rabid doberman.
Disagree. You should read some of the comments about them. Plenty to see.
The fact is that I think many Trump supporters are overcompensating for some kind of nagging doubts about the guy.
Oh don't think so. We understand the possible shortcomings that Trump may have, but Cruzers can be oblivious to his possible shortcomings and to think their guy is some perfect animal. Some Trumpers have expressed that he maybe a little too slick.
I am not a psychoanalyst, just a psycho, so I really cannot speculate on what drives this phenomenon.
You're a "psycho"? Oh OK.
I'm only telling you that I won't be found slagging Donald Trump, only some of his thin-skinnes boosters.
Yeah sure.
It’s more important to keep in mind that the Iowa Caucuses are Monday, February 1, 2016. That is 50 days from now, over 7 weeks away, an eternity if you look at how the numbers have shifted in just the last month.
I don’t expect the anti-establishment candidates to be displaced by the GOP-E candidates, but I think if all the other GOP-E candidates exited and left the field to Rubio that his numbers would go up a lot. If they are going to do that, it will have to be in the next 2 or 3 weeks for it to have its impact.
I don’t see Trump, Cruz, or Carson dropping out. Fiorina is a non-politician candidate, but I think her time has come and gone. We’ll know after the next debate.
