PPP's newest North Carolina poll finds that Donald Trump's momentum just keeps on building. He's the top choice of Republican primary voters in the state, getting 16% to 12% for Jeb Bush and Scott Walker, 11% for Mike Huckabee, 9% for Ben Carson and Marco Rubio, 7% for Rand Paul, 6% for Ted Cruz, 5% for Chris Christie, 4% for Carly Fiorina, 2% for Rick Perry, 1% each for Lindsey Graham, Bobby Jindal, and Rick Santorum, and less than 1% each for John Kasich and George Pataki.
Trump's favorability rating in North Carolina is 55/32, much higher than we were finding in national polls prior to his entry into the race. Trump's really caught fire with voters on the far right- 66% of 'very conservative' voters see him favorably to only 24% with a negative view of him. Trump is polling particularly well with younger voters (29%) and men (20%).
Jeb Bush had been leading our previous few polls in North Carolina. But he continues to struggle with conservatives. Among 'very conservative' Republicans, only 37% see him favorably to 44% who have a negative opinion of him and only 7% of those voters support him for the nomination, putting him in 7th place in the GOP field. Bush's overall 43/35 favorability is the second worst of any of the 10 candidates we measured that for, besting only Chris Christie's 27/41 standing.

Now we know why Jeb has gone into hiding.
Jeb belongs in the same trash heap as Romney and McCain.
Jeb’s central campaign theme has been “FU conservatives, you ignorant racists, learn Spanish”. Brilliant!
Well what do you know? As it turns out people CAN handle the truth!
Jeb lost 7 points in one month. From 19% to 12%.
Almost a 40% loss of support for Sanctuary City Jeb.

Gee, I guess the silent majority isn’t buying all the pro-illegal squealing from the elites, including Jeb Bush.
I can’t wait to see Trump on stage with Bush.
It is gratifying to see Linda Gramnesty at 1% in his home state. How on earth does he keep getting elected?
Perfect name for him....Sanctuary City Jeb!
Jeb who? He lost his “turn”.
Well, well, well.
Other than a few hit and runs, the GOPe’s are silent. And in hiding.
Sanctuary City Jeb will be in 2nd or 3rd place in most polls just in time for the Fox News debate in a few weeks.
And millions of dollars in SuperPac ads featuring Columba rolling tamales isn’t going to stop the free-fall.
Ouch....but that is South Carolina.
I second the motion.
Jeb went into hiding on Monday after the weekend polling results came in. It just isn’t North Carolina.
The polls can be helpful for some but at the end of the day I’m reminded that twice, our good people of this country elected a community “organizer” that sat around, smoked pot, sniffed coke, talked all day about being black, and never worked at a real job. Polls don’t mean much to me.
Georgie Will, Brit Hume, and Kraut are deeply troubled.
Pray America is waking
Jeb belongs in the same trash heap as Romney and McCain.
Jeb belongs in a bigger trash heap. He’s far less accomplished than Mitt or McLame.
40% drop in support for Jeb Bush. GOP-e crapping themselves right now.
