Trump Keeps Gaining in NC; Cl inton Maintains Huge Lead

PPP ^ | 1/20/16 | Tom Jensen

[BigEdLB]

North Carolina was the first pl ace polling ever found Donald Trump leading the Republican Presidenti al race, and he just keeps getting stronger. PPP's newest poll finds him at 38% to 16% for Ted Cruz, 11% for Marco Rubio, 8% for Ben Carson, 6% each fo r Mike Huckabee and Jeb Bush, 4% for Chris Christie, 3% each for Carly Fiorina and Rand Paul, 2% for John Kasich, and 1% for Rick Santorum.

Yes, and check out the FAV/UNFAV, Trump leads all GOP candidates in NC.

[euram]

Trump’s lead over the 2nd place candidate is almost insurmountable. Only Trump and stop Trump at this point. Even if Cruz manages to squeak past him in IA, Trump will steamroll over everyone just about everywhere else.

[LS]

About the time Trump locks up the delegates for the nomination. But your little denial of reality is oh so cute.

[samtheman]

I have no idea what your aggressive attack-post means so I will ask again:

Does anyone know when the NC primary is held?

Thanks.

[BigEdLB]

N Carolina Primary March 15

[samtheman]

Thanks, Big Ed.

I have said all cycle that PPP is the hot poll this time around. It's never ahead with higher Trump numbers, but it's never at the low end. So this is really bad news for Cruz.

BTW, Trump, who lets it be known by what pollster he attacks if he's behind, said "I think we're going to win IA" today. Now, that tells me his polling is showing that, or he would be denouncing whichever pollster is about to release.

[LS]

Sorry, misunderstood. It’s a Super Tues. state, March 15 meaning Trump will pretty much lock up the nomination then or shortly after.

[tennmountainman]

Good point.

A lot can be read by what one does not say.

Trump will win Iowa. After that, Cruz will be an after thought.
