Chalk up another poll win for Donald Trump over his GOP opponents.
Trump continued to rise above his GOP rivals, leading in a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released Sunday morning.
According to the poll of Republican primary voters, Trump leads with 19 percent, followed by 15 percent for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and 14 percent for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
The poll was conducted July 36-30, after Trump's public feud with Sen John McCain. Bush and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio led the last NBC/WSJ poll, taken in June.
Here are the poll results:
Donald Trump - 19 percent
Scott Walker - 15 percent
Jeb Bush - 14 percent
Ben Carson - 10 percent
Ted Cruz - 9 percent
Mike Huckabee - 6 percent
Rand Paul - 6 percent
Marco Rubio - 5 percent
Chris Christie - 3 percent
John Kasich - 3 percent
Rick Perry - 3 percent
Bobby Jindal - 1 percent
Rick Santorum - 1 percent
Less than 1 percent: Carly Fiorina, Lindsey Graham, George Pataki, Jim Gilmore The NBC/WSJ poll could help determine who will be on the state Thursday during the first GOP debate.

Where do the votes for the ten lesser candidates go ? My guess is walker or Bush…..Do all these people get on the primary ballot??
How does a jerk like Perry even get 3%...and Carly less than 1%?
Carly is far superior——she’s articulate, presidential, knows the issues.
And she stoutly defended the unborn from the P/P atrocities——up against a google-eyed bleached blonde abortion worshipper.
Put Carly up there next to Donald...and demote Perry to the kiddie stage.
I love the numbers in this poll between Jeb and Cruz...only 5 points difference! Cruz is climbing, love to see that. Oh and Go Trump!
So it is of interest whether or not this very Cruz-Helpful poll will make the list of 5 that will be selected by Fox News to pick the 10 debate candidates.
For reference here is the Fox News Criteria:
"Candidates must place "in the top 10 of an average of the five most recent national polls, as recognized by Fox News leading up to August 4th at 5 PM/ET," Fox News Executive Vice President Michael Clemente announced. "Such polling must be conducted by major, nationally recognized organizations that use standard methodological techniques.""
NBC/WSJ certainly meets the "major, nationally" criteria but the "most recent" bit makes it somewhat ambiguous.
There will be a flood of polls coming in Monday and Tuesday. Will they push this favorable poll off the list? Who knows?
I'm going to send a text message to "The Shadow" and see if I can get a little insight into what Fox will actually do. I'll post anything I learn. This guy is good, really good. I've been following him for years.
Doesn’t bother me a bit. There is a case to be made that Pam (who is very brave) was taunting Muslims with that event. So what?
Did anybody watch rove today on Mike Wallace? He looked pale and shaken like a man who lost lost his best puppet.
LOL
Nothing more indicative of a worshiper than shifting ideals to follow an idol.
You should ask for a unicorn.
Winning in a poll sponsored by 2 orgs that don’t like Trump.
"They're cutting off heads and you're asking about water boarding? I like water boarding, I think it works."
Priceless, for that response alone Trump should be elected.
Hopefully Perry will not make the cut. He’s a total phony. It is sad to see Carly behind Mr Good Hair, she is very impressive.

That Pillsbury Dough Boy is finally ready to be shoved into the oven and baked.
She was a horrible CEO who turned a great engineering company into a toner vendor. No one in IT supports herThat's interesting because now all the IT bosses support Obama, Hillary etc. who are turning a once great country into a shithole country.
I guess everyone in IT has no problem supporting them.
Ignorance is bliss.
Cruz just made a nice upward move. Lookin’goooood!
TRUMP-CRUZ 2016!
Lol, looks the Rove Dough Boy isn’t going to be soft and cuddly any more, probably a little ‘crunchy’.
