The latest poll from The Wall Street Journal and NBC News is all good news for Donald Trump and all bad news for former Florida governor Jeb Bush and Florida Senator Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL).
Since the last WSJ/NBC poll in June, despite a full-frontal media push to destroy him, billionaire businessman Trump has risen from just 1% to take the lead with 19%.
Bush, who was in first place in June, has not just been overtaken by Trump, his support has cratered from 22% to just 14%. Bush is now in third place behind Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, who sits at 15%. Back in June Walker was in second place with 17% support.
Hit the hardest between the two polls is Rubio, who fell from 3rd place in June to 8th place. Support for Rubio has slipped from 14% to just 5%.

LOL. Please consult Mark Levin on the U.S. Constitution.
And literally give the election to Hillary or Bernie or Joe?
The one vote I’m really ashamed of is my vote for McCain. Not doing that again.
.
Just remember, this is strictly a “Chamber of Commerce” poll.
It was carefully crafted to support their candidates.
.
Basically the GOP has their 40% and the Dems have their 40%. The battle is always for the 20% in the middle.
This is why most 3rd party efforts are doomed. 20% of the vote is not going to get it done (which is almost exactly the Perot vote in 1992).
It's too early to say that Trump will have the kind of mass appeal to peel away at those 40% bases. It's possible, considering the political climate out there.
However, I like Trump's chances better as the GOP nominee. He'll get the 40% and most of the 20% in the middle. Maybe even some Democrats. That was the Reagan path to victory in 1980 and 1984.
...”Walker is the Establishment back up candidate in case Jeb does not fly”...
I began seeing that as well.... need to pay attention to the terms he uses.
Walker’s a good fit for the establishment...they can “work with him”.... Which is not what’s needed...we need fighters in Washington because the war there has obviously begun to heat up in view of the audience...which they didn’t want to be seen.
WAlker will assure us the same ol story in replay.
I am pretty much in the same spot, although our congressman has joined with the anti-Boehnner outlaws, so he’ll get my vote. In FL, we have an open seat in the Senate, so we shall see.
Same policies, different wallpaper. Same education. Same immigration (as well as same rhetoric). Jeb will not undo Obamacare. He is pushing for two more Democratic Senators from Puerto Rico. He’ll be just fine with existing Iran policy, with a slight tweak. Obama’s work will all stay intact.
So we can choose from open borders, common core, republicans are racist rhetoric, government controlled healthcare and a nuclear Iran. Or we can have open borders, common core, republicans are racist rhetoric, government controlled healthcare and a nuclear Iran.
Trump—Love him or hate him—has changed the GOP forever. It will be a better party because of it. I do not think he will get the nod and be the nominee (but it could happen) but change is in the air. The people are turning right and wish to leave race cards, progressive Ideals, PC, behind them. Maybe a new 3rd Party is right—Liberty Party. Maybe it will be a second party and the RINOs will have the GOP as a 3rd Party? many things will happen in next two years—anything can happen.

Thanks for your “there, there, Dearie” comment. Bit of advice: “Fool me once, shame on you.” “Fool me twice, shame on me.” “Fool me thrice, I may as well be a damn fool Democrat.”
Embrace reality....
If that's where we're going anyway, let the experts do it.
I voted for Palin.
No more lesser evil. It's still evil. Qualifications for earning my vote: To ride, shoot straight and speak the truth. If you can't, then don't ask me for it.
No, it's not. What's worse? Someone you know is going to stab you and tells you they are? Or someone who pretends to like you and stabs you in the back?
Wow.....actually came up with that same analogy BEFORE looking at your post...gmta!
No. What's happened is the Democrats have gone to the deep, crazy end of their 40% and still have all of them. The GOPe has pandered to this mushy mythical middle to the point that they've angered their base down to 30% or less unenthused, nose-holding votere. All in exchange for negligible gains among the uninterested or ignorant.
Just as 0bama commits his daily abrogation of the Constitution and declares "what are YOU gonna do about it?" the GOPe turns inexorably left and tells their base "where ELSE you gonna go?"
You're gonna find out.
