If you look at RCPs poll round-up, youll see that most national surveys lately fall into two groups. One group has Trump up by just three or four points, the other has him up 11 or 12. Whats interesting about this new one from Monmouth is that it shows him breaking through the higher of those two ceilings, to the point where hes now topping Jeb Bush by a margin of better than two to one.
Ideology Trump leads Walker 27% to 16% among very conservative voters; has 22% support among somewhat conservative voters to 14% for Bush and 12% for Walker; and takes 28% of the moderate to liberal voter compared to 20% for Bush.
Tea Party Tea Party supporters back Trump (35%) over Walker (15%) and Cruz (11%). Non-Tea Party supporters split their top support between Trump (20%) and Bush (16%).
Maybe his turnaround proves how potent hawkishness on immigration remains across the GOP, notwithstanding the best efforts of its pro-amnesty leadership to shape opinion to the contrary. Or maybe its evidence of how ravenous the publics appetite is, even among moderate Republicans, for a protest vote against the political class.
Or maybe its a matter of pure media conditioning, with the great mass of low-information voters responding to pollsters Pavlov-style after hearing the word Trump on the nightly news every eight seconds for the past six weeks. Trump had better hope its one (or both) of those first two theories and not the third. Low-information voters are the least likely to show up on election day.

That’s an under statement. I’d love to see Bill try sticking that boney finger in Trump’s face. I’d love to see The Donald bite it off!
Nailed it..
Trump was sent by the rats to mess up our primary while they hold no debates..
I am smart enough not to fall for it. Others around here.. Not so much.
That was why he was hanging with hill and bill? Spread the manure somewhere else.
Tell that one to Obama. How naive!
In actuality, it is the low information voter that is most turned off by Trump because the mainstream media has been attacking Trump on a daily basis since he got into this race, in an effort to marginalize him as a "quack" and a "hater."
It is the more sophisticated voters that are discarding the conventional media spin and getting on the Trump bandwagon. It takes people who think for themselves to overcome the media bias.
The Trump non-Politically Correct pronouncements is wonderfully refreshing....but he needs to show us how he would lead...Cruz has done that in spades without the worn out political rhetoric and political correctness...the Cruz stance on the U.S.Constitution is writ large....lets hear that from Trump now.

“I am smart enough not to fall for it. Others around here.. Not so much.”
Let me guess, you are too smart to not vote for a career politician.
LOL.
Shocker!
I’d vote for Cruz.. Walker is a maybe...
Trump? no.
Trump - Yes
Cruz -No
Walker - maybe
So you want Hillary then.
Think long and hard about how many Supremes the next president will nominate. Do you really want a left-winger to do that?
How? Fuzzy math?
