Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is climbing to his highest support yet in a new national poll.

The real estate mogul earned a broad 41 percent support from Republicans and Republican-leaning registered voters in a new national Monmouth University poll released today.

True on all counts. Great post.

Let slip in an uncooked poll? It must have pained Monmouth U. to report this. Add 10% more for Trump to cover for lib bias. :-)

Did anyone note who self proclaimed very Conservative and somewhat Conservative folks voted for?

LOL

There’s a group of people here who are very misguided in who they think supports Trump.

No disrespect intended toward Trump, but he isn’t behaving like a person who has a 3 to 1 lead over his next closest competitor.

It wouldn’t matter who won anyway as Rubio and Hitlery are the same.

He’s tripled Cruz. Even though this poll does not break out individual states it does show deep and broad support nationwide. It can impact state voters preference if they are inclined to vote for a perceived sure winner.

You’re posting false information. This thread is about a national poll. Monmouth did not post any such national poll results as you descibed.

[DoughtyOne]

Yeah, I didn’t care for that Iowa poll either.

Cruz voters are more likely to have a positive (52%) rather than negative (43%) opinion of Trump's demeanor.

Well duh. They're Cruz voters.

He will rest when he wins. It’s his way. It’s why he wins.

Waiting for the “national polls don’t mean a thing” comment. It’s sure to be in here somewhere.
