“New poll: Trump 22, Bush 15, Walker 12. We did NOT see Trump’s numbers decline after his attacks on McCain -”
Wilson wrote about details of the survey, including an important observation that Trump has gained support from an earlier poll taken this month, passing Jeb Bush who has lost support.
“The Morning Consult survey, conducted July 17 through July 20 among 1,978 registered voters, includes a subsample of 754 self-identified Republican and Republican-leaning voters who say they will participate in the party’s presidential nominating contest, for a margin of error of plus or minus 3.6 percentage points.
“There is no evidence that Trump’s numbers have slumped after comments he made questioning Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) war record. Though most of the rest of the Republican field — and even the Republican National Committee — loudly criticized Trump after he made the comments on Saturday morning at an event in Iowa, voters interviewed afterward weren’t any less likely to say they support him.
“In fact, Trump has gained ground since a Morning Consult poll earlier this month, when he trailed Bush by a 19 percent to 17 percent margin. This week Trump is the second choice of 12 percent of voters, behind Bush’s 18 percent.”
The poll shows Trump’s favorable/unfavorable opinion with Republican voters at 49 percent favorable to 41 percent unfavorable.
A Washington Post-ABC News poll released on Monday that only had one day of polling post-Iowa had Trump at 24 percent. Walker was second at 13 percent and Jeb Bush third at 12 percent with the rest of the field below nine percent.

Anecdotal evidence but today at work I had Two contractors and an IT guy raving about the straight talk from Trump. I occasionally go out on dates with a fellow Grateful Dead fan gal who doesn’t vote Republican even post to Facebook that she doesn’t like Trump but uh oh, he is saying things she believes and wants to hear. Bi only see the energy building with no signs in letting up.
Maybe cuz McCain went after Trump first and The Donald doesn’t take any sh!T from chumps. How refreshing.
I was not aware that John McCain was running for president. Neither was he in 2008.....
TRUMP/BLAGO 2016!!!
Thinking voters already figured that out a long time ago
He’s putting it down for the LIV MOR types
Flood internet sites/blogs with their trolls pretending to be very concerned republicans/conservatives shouting that Trump is evil and will cost us the elections. Also, shouting to us that if we are for Trump, we are really dumb.
” couple days ago I posted the idea that Trump and/or his organization should conduct negotiations secretly to have the prisoners in Iran released.
Imagine having a candidate who actually takes action against our enemies instead of tip-toeing around every issue so as not to offend anyone.”
When did Iran release our embassy and Marine hostages during the Carter flop as president?
As Reagan was being sworn in to be president!
They are probably already doing that. I assume they are always there, just more so preceding elections or some other big political issue.
You are right. They are all ways there and really come out of the woodwork like termites when a Donald Trump comes along.
To be honest I haven’t voted in a national election since 2000. But if Walker or Cruz are on the ticket I may rethink my not voting stance.
