Poll: Trump commands 33-point lead nationally (Trump 49, Rubio 16, Cruz 15)
The Hill ^ | 2/29/16 | Kyle Balluck and Mark Hensch

Posted on 02/29/2016 5:14:23 AM PST by jimbo123

Donald Trump increased his lead atop the GOP presidential field in a new national poll, attracting 49 percent support among Republican voters.

Trump holds a 33-point lead over his closest competitor, Marco Rubio, in a CNN/ORC International poll released Monday morning, one day before ballots are cast on Super Tuesday.

Rubio has 16 percent support in the new poll, followed by Ted Cruz with 15 percent, Ben Carson with 10 percent and John Kasich with 6 percent.

Trump and Rubio gained 8 points apiece since a similar poll in late January, while Cruz lost 4 points.

I am anxiously waiting to see the next poll results after Rubio’s crud and disgusting attack on Trump. How much lower can these clowns go?

CNN poll finally catches up to where the Reuters Rolling at 44% and a couple of other polls have been showing for sometime. I found a poll yesterday of likely voters and two weeks ago 53% of them thought that Trump would be the eventual GOP nominee. Yesterday that had zoomed up to like 76% in a mere two weeks.
The Trump train is rolling get on board or get on the bus Gus and ride with Hillary.

Geez...that ceiling just keeps getting higher and higher.

Rush has said repeatedly that Trump's ceiling is in the 30's and when the other candidates get out support would move to Crubio. Rush is great on culture war stuff but he's awful with politics. He just never gets it right.

Do you really think Romney will get in this race if Rubio falters tomorrow?

I'd like to see him do it. It would be hilarious to see him in low single digits in the polls.

A vote for Cruz is a vote for Rubio/Romney because the RNC is going to strip his delegates at the convention and give them to the GOPe designated loser.

On Wednesday morning, as we review the results of all the Super Tuesday races, if Cruz's only accomplishment was to skim a few delegates from Trump while winning no states himself -- then Cruz should drop out.

If all Cruz accomplishes is to split the anti-Establishment vote enough to guarantee a brokered convention, which the Establishment will use to anoint their designated loser, and hand the US over to Hillary, then Cruz should be treated as a traitor to conservatism.

Pundits are also ignoring the fact that republican turnout has been TRUMPing democrat turnout by a YUGE margin so far.

42% in a 3 man race is the magic number...I need to source that but I remember hearing that a few months back.

“Rush has said repeatedly that Trump’s ceiling is in the 30’s and when the other candidates get out support would move to Crubio. Rush is great on culture war stuff but he’s awful with politics. He just never gets it right. “

Yes. He actually made the stupid assertion that once people dropped out, all of their support would go to Rubio or Cruz and then we’d have a REAL contest on our hands. As Trump rightfully pointed out, this idea is stupid on the face of it because it presumes that none of the support for either of those people is going to go for HIM.

Who wants to try next?



Haven’t you noticed that no weapon formed against Donald Trump has prospered? Why would that be?

Isaiah 54
17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,
And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD.

(D)onald Trump is the curse gasped by the sheeple in the last 3 inches of air between the rising water and the ceiling of the lower decks of the Titanic they’ve been herded aboard and locked into.

Good luck with that “ceiling”.
