If Donald Trump's comments about Fox News Anchor Megyn Kelly are hurting his standing in the Republican primary, it's not showing in the numbers.
According to the latest NBC News Online Poll conducted by SurveyMonkey, Trump is at the top of the list of GOP candidates that Republican primary voters would cast a ballot for if the primary were being held right now.

Fox is upset.
Fox may be guarding the GOPe henhouse but Trump is brazenly stealing the chickens from right under them.
The Ministry of Propaganda was all congratulatory of Fox, they thought they had taken down Trump.
The Cheap Labor Express really wants Trump shut down, people might start thinking we can stop the invasion/colonization of our nation.
They come to see the guy with the big stick.
So Fox is trying to oust Trump, but Trump is generating mega audiences for Fox. Am I missing something?
Mega Kel-Lies can expect a downward mega loss of audience.
Ruperts empire must be threatened by Trump’s success. Must go deeper than just the high viewer ratings. Follow the $$$$.
Her ratings are bleeding?
Ted Cruz in strong second place, again!!
How did Rupert Murdoch make his fortune?
Rupert Murdoch made his fortune in the media business, initially in newspaper acquisition and turnaround and later in broadcast television. After his father’s death in 1952, Murdoch took charge of the family business, News Limited, and managed to turn Adelaide News from a fledgling newspaper into a commercial success. In 1959, Murdoch bought his first TV station, Channel 9 in Adelaide. Over the next 10 years, he purchased and established a number of newspapers in Australia, building the net worth of his holdings to $50 million.
Murdoch’s first expansion of holdings outside Australia was through the purchase of London’s Sun newspaper in late 1969. By turning the Sun from a broadcast into a tabloid, he increased circulation from 600,000 to 4 million readers and turned a hefty profit. In 1973, Murdoch expanded his media empire into the United States by purchasing two small, struggling newspapers, the San Antonio Express and the San Antonio News. Over the next few years, he created and purchased a number of American newspapers, including the New York Post and the Chicago Sun-Times.
In 1985, Murdoch expanded his empire to include broadcast television with his purchase of half of Fox News. In 1989 he started Sky Television, a satellite service with four channels that he expanded to over 400 channels through prudent investing. By 1990 Murdoch’s News Corporation was worth $19 billion, despite amassing a significant amount of debt which was offset by his ability to convince U.S. banks to allow extensions. Perhaps one of the riskiest investments of his career was the purchase of Asia’s Star Television, which further expanded his global empire. By 2002, Murdoch owned more than 750 businesses in more than 50 countries. Since then, Murdoch’s empire has grown to include investment in DIRECTV and a number of social networking sites while his movie studio, 21st Century Fox, has created box office hits such as “Titanic” and “Avatar.”
That is good news, I hope. The higher he climbs, the more the long knives are going to come out for him.
Good analogy. My dad said it was like watching a basketball game where the refs think it’s all about them instead of letting the players play. I think Fox upset a lot of people who aren’t regular viewers.
Online poll. Not valid.
The Ministry of Propaganda has welcomed Fox “News” to their side.
The GOP/MSM are not happy Trump KO'd their lapdog.
She's lost me. I am only a single drop, but enough drops together can equal a roaring flood.
Trump 23%
Cruz 13%
Carson 11%
Fiorina 8%
Rubio 8%
Seems about right to me, based on their performances at the debate. Amazing that Cruz made it all the way to #2, having been given a total of 3 minutes to answer questions.
Donde esta Jeb?
Not a typical on-line poll. Another Freeper addressed their methodology, which is actually pretty scientific.
Me too .. and I even unpinned FNC from being my home page, opting for a local station who are pretty much just telling the news.
I also have discovered OANN (One America News Network). Start up. They have a Newscast at 7pm PDT or 10 EDT. Younger crowd .. very conservative.
