Days before the first Republican debate, Donald Trump has surged into the national lead in the GOP primary race, with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush following, a new NBC News/ Wall Street Journal poll shows.
Trump is the first choice of 19 percent of GOP primary voters, while 15 percent back Walker and 14 percent back Bush. Ten percent support retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson.
All other Republican candidates earn single digit backing. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is favored by nine percent of primary voters; former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul are tied with six percent support; Florida Sen. Marco Rubio clocks in at five percent; and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Ohio Gov. John Kasich are tied with three percent apiece.

Tea Party supporters most favor Ted Cruz (22 percent), with Trump (20 percent) and Walker (20 percent) close behind.
The NBC News/ Wall Street Journal poll was conducted July 26-30, 2015. The margin of error for 252 interviews among Republican Primary Voters is ±6.17%

More to the point is that I hope its the beginning of the end for Yeb.
The people are asserting themselves over the chattering classes. Just wish they had a better champion.
As a nation, we need someone to heal the rift, and stop the classes of the class warfare. I toss my hat into the ring of Dr. Ben Carson, and hope Trump keeps tromping the tulips of the Demos.

Dims heads exploding all over
The mesaage to the GOP establishment is clear:
You Failed To Do The Job We Elected You To Do !!!
By that I think you mean more solidly, predictably, conservative.
As a strong Trump supporter, I can agree with that.
What appeals to me is his willingness to fight, a non-holds-barred fight, for his goal of Making America Great Again.
“the beginning of the end for Yeb.”

The day Jeb drops out is the day his support swings to Hillary. The GOPe and their crony capitalist supporters will work to ensure her victory. That includes Murdoch’s Faux News.
Here is the full list:
Donald Trump - 19%
Scott Walker - 15%
Jeb Bush - 14%
Ben Carson - 10%
Ted Cruz - 9%
Mike Huckabee - 6%
Rand Paul - 6%
Marco Rubio - 5%
Chris Christie - 3% John Kasich - 3% Rick Santorum - 1%
Carly Fiorina - *
Lindsey Graham - *
George Pataki - *
Jim Gilmore - *
What is exciting is that that younger people are listening to Trump saying we can get things turned around and to speak up about your frustrations and dreams, have a plan and succeed with it. Just as he has for his whole life.
On Fox News Sunday, Karl Rove was speculating on “which” Trump would show up for the debate — the serious one or the one who likes to throw barbs at opponents. As Trump as stated, he responds to barbs from his opponents, not initiate them.
This nonsense about “which” Trump will show up is laughable. I’ve seen Trump more often serious than otherwise. Fat boy has announced that if Trump attacks him on the debate stage, his response will be withering. And of course, Trump will not, because he has even bigger fish to fry. Fat boy will then announce after the debate that he scared off Trump.
Carson voters would most likely go to Trump.
At least the media are finally practicing what they preach. They have joined the green/recycling community by publishing twice-a-week ‘Trump Is Finished’ articles regardless of any basis in fact.
Cruz, Carson, Walker and Trump at a combined 45%, and the RINO with 14%.
That’s very good news.
Cruz 9%
I like him, but that is the highest % I have seen for him. Most other polls have had him in the 4-6% range.
FoxNews seems to go out of their way to avoid any mention of Cruz. Of course, they are still all in for Jebster.
Yes, and Trump isn’t surging...he lost traction in this poll.
I think he has hit his peak. Cruz, if anyone, is surging and coming up to where we expected him to be...this is a good thing.
I don’t know the internals of the polling, but it is interesting that among Tea Party voters, those of us committed to voting, Cruz wins.
I think this more accurately reflects Cruz’s support. When REPUBLICANS are polled, Cruz does well. When just registered voters are polled, the RINO’S, Trump included, do better.
Interestingly, the MOE is 6.5%. Meaning, essentially, that the top 5 are basically tied.
The only way Bush isn’t the nominee is if Hillary gets significant opposition in the D primaries and the Dems can’t do Op Chaos 2016.
As such a soft target for November, if the Dems can get Bush the nomination, they have a lock.
