PPP: Trump gaining in N.C. (Jeb drops to 3rd place...)
News and Observer ^ | 8/19/15 | Craig Jarvis

Posted on 08/19/2015 9:11:03 AM PDT by jimbo123

A new Public Policy Polling survey shows Donald Trump with an eight-point gain in North Carolina over the past month.

Last month, the left-leaning PPP was the first in the nation to give Trump a lead, when he scored 16 percent in the state. He’s now at 24 percent, which puts him ahead of Ben Carson (14 percent), Jeb Bush (13 percent), Ted Cruz (10 percent), Marco Rubio (9 percent), and 6 percent each for Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee and Scott Walker. At the bottom are Rand Paul (3 percent), Chris Christie and Rick Santorum (2 percent), John Kasich and Rick Perry (1 percent), and Jim Gilmore, Bobby Jindal and George Pataki with less than 1 percent. Lindsey Graham had no supporters.

Looks like the big loser with Trump in the mix is Cruz. They are going after the same people and unless Trump falters or gets out, Cruz is toast.

Yeah, keep this in mind the next time Miss Lindsey whines about how Trump is "destroying" the Republican Party.

I really like Ted Cruz but he is just not getting the traction. His polling numbers just hover about 8% in most polls. Unless he commits an unforced error Trump is going to get the nomination.

Cruz has gone from 6% a month ago to his 10% standing now.

Carson’s gone from 9% to 14%

From what I've seen he does not need them.

Linda has no hope. Hopefully she will no longer be invited on Sunday morning shows or on Fox News for any show ... are you listening Greta? No one wants to hear from Linda other than her boyfriend, Juan.

LOL on Graham.

When Jeb drops to 6th, then I’ll believe there is some hope that the GOPe can’t save him.

Not if he ups Trump's respectability by getting the VP slot!

I think he just appeals to “us”. I don’t see him getting any real traction outside of that. He certainly hasn’t so far.

I guess attacking McCain and that girl at Fox really set him back....

If this were Jeb Bush, or most anyone but Trump, the media would say the game is over.

Governor Haley had better start looking for a replacement for that petulant little weasel because it won’t be long before he will switch parties.

Unless Cruz can peel some voters away from Trump, his money will begin to dry up. They are after the same audience and right now Trump has the upper hand.

As long as Cruz stays in the top four or five for the time being he'll be fine.

There's a long way to go and he's too smart to make mistakes.
