Billionaire businessman Donald Trump has captured the public’s attention for better or worse, and his bid for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, once seen as a pipe dream, is now a topic of serious discussion. So for the near future at least, Rasmussen Reports intends to track Trump’s race for the White House in a weekly Friday feature we’re calling Trump Change.
Our latest national telephone survey finds that 57% of Likely Republican Voters now think Trump is likely to be the Republican presidential nominee next year, with 25% who say it’s Very Likely. That compares to 27% who felt a Trump nomination was likely two months ago when he formally announced his presidential bid, a finding that included just nine percent (9%) who said it was Very Likely.
At that time, Trump ran near the bottom among the 12 declared GOP candidates. Now he leads the pack of Republican hopefuls which has grown to include 17 prominent contenders.
Among all likely voters, 49% think Trump is likely to be the Republican nominee, including 17% who say it’s Very Likely. That compares to 23% and seven percent (7%) respectively in the earlier survey. Forty-eight percent (48%) now say Trump is not likely to win the nomination, with 21% who feel it is Not At All Likely.

Maybe I’ll start making those and make some $ too. LOL
So right now 57% think he will be the nominee but only 25% are for him? I imagine 75% of Republicans think Hillary will be the nominee. What doe that mean?
That’s next week’s poll...
I think they do.
They just want to hide that fact from America and maintain their favorite Democrat Party liberals and collaborating Republicans in power.
Good to know. I like Jindal. I don’t think he has a chance but I like him.

But there is a infentisimal chance that things could turn so bad that enough Democrats might want to cut their ties with BO to turn on him politically.
Nixon's resignation is a poor comparison since the man had a sense of shame and so did Republican leaders like Senator Goldwater. But it did happen fairly quickly once a few prominent GOP leaders were on board.
Not likely it will happen with Democrats since they have no sense of shame, but they could throw him under the bus if it becomes clear he is seriously threatening their chances of political survival. It is not likely to happen, but it could.
How many of the likely voters in the general population were illegals? They may vote and some do vote, but it’s a crime.
