Real estate mogul and 2016 presidential candidate Donald Trump is ahead of his fellow Republican contenders in another national survey on the field.

Mr. Trump was the first choice of 19 percent of GOP primary voters, followed closely by Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker at 17 percent in the poll released Monday by the Democratic-leaning firm Public Policy Polling.

Next was former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at 12 percent, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida at 10 percent apiece and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee at 8 percent.

Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky were at 4 percent apiece, and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Ohio Gov. John Kasich were at 3 percent apiece. No other candidate topped 1 percent.

That’s his private jet???? Having him there is like the return of Jett Rink in Giant.

Yes his 757. And I believe he owns a smaller executive jet along with a Trump helicopter.

The constant polling done a year and a half before the election just shows we are an OCD nation. It is the equivalent of a child asking repeatedly, “Are we there yet?

Very apt analogy.

The only part of your post with which I disagree...we may have an OCD nation, but this is being fueled by an agenda driven OCD media.

White guilt.

Oh, I don't know about that. Carson has a sterling reputation.

OK I concede that. LOL. So true.

If he was against Hitlary or any other lefty, yeah, I would too. But he sure as heck is at the lower end of my list.

That ride is just impressive. WOW!

Interesting...

What physical attribute do you think is the disqualifying feature?

[Vigilanteman]

Are there enough people in the monocle and top hat set to total 12%? Or, are they including disappointed Hillary voters in the mix?

Go to website and look at the penthouse and some of the buildings he has built. Trump Built That in spite of what others say. Yesterday one article said. Yea he was born with a silver apoon but he turned it into solid gold

[conservativejoy]

Thanks for that info. Since I hear so much positive feedback on Cruz locally, I was scratching my head about the polls, too.

[conservativejoy]

I am so glad Trump and Cruz like and respect one another!

Fox and CNN carried his arrival

So what are Beck's networks carrying?

Maybe they can just show Three's Company reruns...

Yes, Billionaires can afford private jets.

All other professional politicians depend on their rich donors to furnish them transportation.

Trick question: Which candidate will not be a puppet of his rich donors?

No Seventh Day Adventist will ever be elected president. And I hate to say it but Obamagabe has ruined any black man being elected president for the next 100 years.
