Following his proposal to temporarily bar Muslims from entering the country, Donald Trump has increased his lead in the Republican primary to its largest margin yet, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
The results are the latest sign that Trump's outspoken comments on immigration and terrorism continue to find an audience among rank-and-file Republicans in spite of sharp condemnation from Democrats, GOP leaders, some of Trump's rivals and a chorus of world leaders.
The survey puts Trump's support at 38 percent among registered Republicans and GOP-leaning independents, six points higher than in October and November. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who also is running an anti-establishment campaign, has surged into second place with 15 percent, effectively doubling his support since last month.
Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Ben Carson are tied for third, with 12 percent each. Carson, who with Trump was at the top of the field earlier this fall, saw his support cut roughly in half over the past month. No other candidate in the new poll registers in double digits. Former Florida governor Jeb Bush stands at 5 percent among registered Republicans.

President Richard Sanatorium anyone?
:-) Love corn though. Just ..not in my gas tank...thanks.
Cruz. Is. A. Coward.
“the anti Christ who just escaped from an insane asylum”
Thanks for that......I’ll be putting it in the hip pocket for future use if you don’t mind.
Yeah, well, we shall see.
It’s his to lose. If he’s that big of a schmuck ...then the hell with him.
The country will then elect Hillary and implode in short order.
Americans will then step in and rebuild ...as we always have.
But THAT whole process will be very painful, very ugly, and very horrifying to experience and to watch happen.
Is Trump really that much of a demon to do that? I just can’t imagine that ... I mean ...I’m with you in a way ...I’m waiting ...and I can be patient. But I’m waiting.
I hope for the good of this country, that Trump will pull it off.
Trump is pro-establishment (Dem establishment)
Trump is a progressive
Trump favors big government
None of this is supportable.
So am I..
..but oh my, what a word picture :)
You come back, only to post your old, worn out Trump smears??
LOLOL.
Who knows how that will play....
I think DT is a Trojan horse. I don't trust him. Never have.
We shall see...what we shall see.................
LOL
You. Are. A. TrumpTroll.
LOL!! I’ll come get you....with my super-secret tape recording :)
....you are wrong...my opinion and predictions are playing out almost perfectly. I have been right on Trump since April 2011 - the good and the bad - showing a track record of being way ahead of, well, almost everyone. No brag, just fact....
Let's see...my instincts, those of Rush and Levin, or your mastubatory fantasy. I'm good where I am. You'll see.
put your money where your mouth is, or politely have a big mug of you know what.....
The Establishmedia has a complete disconnect.
Merry Christmas
Good point.
Cruz is using the patented Democrat "Heart of Gold" strategy---sucking up to anything that moves, and NEVER, EVER uttering a discouraging word.
Cruz said behind closed doors that his sucking up to Trump had been calculated....to get votes. Even when Donald piled on Cruz, Cruz tweeted that Donald was his "friend."
Pure Democrat crapola....right out of the Democrat Political Playbook.
===================================
Now, the conventional wisdom is that Cruz has evangelicals in his back pocket......Not necessarily true.
An evangelical pastor on BOR said his congregation rose en masse to applaud Donald's remark about "bombing the crap out of Isis." Later, another 200,000 evangelicals downloaded the pastor's remarks.
Course, smart*** Cruz has a habit of filching Donald's campaign points.
Trump's team had to swat down Cruz when the copycat kept saying HE was going to make America great again. Cruz also talked about his "building a wall" on the southern border.
So if you hear Cruz parrot "bombing the crap out of ISIS" you'll know where he borrowed it.
Except for his immigration and Muslim comments, he’s indistinguishable from your typical democrat.
