“Riding a wave of non-stop publicity, a new poll shows mogul Donald Trump solidly in first place among 256 likely Republican primary and caucus voters nationwide,” says pollster John Zogby, who reveals that the billionaire is now in the lead with support from 20 percent of likely primary voters overall. The percentage is even higher among women voters.
Jeb Bush is in second place with 16 percent, followed by Gov. Scott Walker, Sen. Rand Paul, Ben Carson, Sen. Marco Rubio, Mike Huckabee, Sen. Ted Cruz, and Govs. Chris Christie, John Kasich and Bobby Jindal.
Mr. Bush bests Mr. Trump among all Republicans and among male voters. Mr. Trump, however, triumphs among conservatives, independents and female voters. He has a “huge lead” among women, Mr. Zogby said - 26 percent to Mr. Bush’s 10 percent, and 7 percent for Mr. Walker.
This is not the first survey which reveals Mr. Trump has appeal for women voters - support deemed crucial by analysts who have also warned that the candidate’s style might not appeal to the ladies. The findings suggest otherwise. A new Washington Post-ABC News poll also found that he leads among the GOP female demographic, garnering 23 percent of the vote, with Mr. Walker in second with 16 percent - and Mr. Bush a distant third with 8 percent.

The dopey doughboy Jeb turns chicks off
256 voters nationwide? Sorry I read this tripe. Polls this far out are useless. And worse than useless with 256 surveyed. Perry had huge leads in 2011 in polls. So did Giuliani in 07.
Greta will outsmart him. You just watch. /s
I have yet to meet a SINGLE Republican who supports Jeb Bush. NOT ONE. Walker, Cruz, Trump, Huckabee, even Fiorina and Jindal. But not a single one who will admit to supporting the John Ellis Bush.
It certainly is. :)
Where are they polling? I know of no one voting for Bush. How, how can he be in second place?
Uh, hardly. I love alpha males. Just not alpha blowhards. And Trump makes my skin crawl.
This is more confirmation that my own sex can't handle the vote.
“Polls this far out are useless.”
Totally agree but Fox has to use something for their cutoff for the upcomig debates. But otherwise - useless.
How many decades have we told the RNC and GOPe leadership, that a man addressing everything from a Conservative point of view, would be immensely popular? 7? 8?
We pleaded on issue after issue, and they scorned us, called us terrorists. Imagine that, for just asking to return to our Founding documents and principles along with obeying and enforcing our nation’s laws.
Even after Reagan, the GOPe couldn’t grasp reality. They never got him, and they never got us or the Reagan Democrats.
In walks Trump, does exactly what we begged the GOPe to do, and he’s taking down the Left, the media, and even the GOPe themselves. And he’s doing it with the Reagan/Trump Democrats in tow. Duh! WHAT DID WE TELL YOU?
In light of this, what does the GOPe do?
They continue to try to say he’s wrong. Each time they say it, he rises another five points in the polls. Still they can’t figure it out.
The GOPe has to be manned by some of the stupidest people on planet earth. At least the Left devises a plan, implements it, and achieves policy goals. On the right they have no plan, achieve nothing for Conservatism, and wind up implementing Leftist policy with or even for them.
Leftists, the GOPe, and the nation’s media, you’ve had this coming since the Goldwater days.
F U and the donkey and elephant you rode in on.
You had your chance. It’s long gone.
Someone said this a few years back and it’s never been more true.
“If you’re not going to lead, get behind and push, or simply get out of the way.”
Today, you no longer have a choice which of these you will be doing. You’ve been replaced by a single man and those of us in the nation who have had it with your treasonous actions. Nixon called them the silent majority.
Obama is a traitor, and you folks have done nothing to reign him in. Guess what that makes you. If you think you’re not seen as public (political) enemies numbers 1 to 550 or so, you’re not paying attention AGAIN!
This will be resolved at the polls. Gosh are you folks in for a lesson.
You don’t have to be a soothsayer to see what the future holds for you politically.

These are the Republican women voters in the survey, you’re talking about general women voters who fell for DopeyChangey, most of them Dems and young/independent.
And if the moon were purple... Don’t forget any of the relevant facts. /s
“Spineless and gutless” is the key. We’re all sick and tired that.
I watch Lou Dobbs at 7:00.
Maybe I’ll check her out on the commercials. Hopefully I can see The Donald if I get lucky.
Puzzling isn't it. I have yet to met a Bush supporter too.
I don’t know that I would call Trump the ideal family man, but apparently paying your Alimony on time and having a good relationship with the kids qualifies now days.
Ms. Jennifer Harper’s headline “Appeal of the family man” failed to explain why other family men in the running don’t get the same poll number. It must be something else.
As for the Zogby poll, meh. Zogby can consistently find those special people he polls so that Jeb! always stays at 2nd place. How convenient.......
““Family man”? Well, I guess he has had multiple families with multiple wives, so maybe...”
Oh get off it. So did Rush Limbaugh and Ronald Reagan.
Not for all of us.
Exactly, Trump is pretty much “par for the course” in that area.
