Another poll, another good day for Trump
There is a going to be a historic level of turnout in 2016, and it’s not going to be on the part of the Democrats.
Perhaps Joe leads in the general election because people haven’t heard anything from him in awhile. If he gets into this race, that will surely change and so will people’s perceptions of him. Sort of like Rick Perry. Given enough time the real Joe Biden will leak out once again.
Trump is the only one that is not money hungry
Trump is the only one that is not owned by rich donors
All politicians are owned by rich donors and so are corrupt.
Is it any wonder since politicians are government agents. Government is the problem and the media is the problem
Politicians ,government and the media have put us Americans in this hole we are in. I don’t think anyone on this forum can deny that simple fact.
Trump is the solution to Saving America
Trump needs to turn the dial to eleven.
Based on poll internals,Trump’s appeal is broad based but less than conservative. Weighting the appeal for the candidates such that were all responders for a candidate to identify as very conservative, the conservative appeal(CA)would be 100%; all moderate/liberal, the CA would be 0%; and even between very conservative, somewhat conservative, and moderate/liberal, the CA would be 50% - - - Trump’s CA is less than 50%.
Cruz (CA 85%)
Walker (CA 82%)
Paul (CA 67%)
Huckabee (CA 64%)
Fiorina (CA 61%)
Carson (CA 50%)
Trump (CA 46%)
Christie (CA 41%)
Rubio (CA 40%)
Kasich (CA 37%)
Santorum (CA 30%)
Bush (CA 28%)
Id rather say - Go Cruz.
Hillary = Liar and only 11% of Dems won’t vote for her.
Trump = Arrogent and 26% of GOP won’t vote for him.
Call me old fashioned, but I’ll take arrogant over liar any day.
Biden?
Bwaaahahahahaha!
OMG you’re killin me!
Trump increased his count 8% from 20% in July same pollsters, and Carson I believe increased his by 6% from 6% from the last Q poll.
Except Biden isn’t running.
What kind of poll is this?
The internals of this poll are truly frightening.
It looks like so far with the 2016 election, ideology reigns as #1, with popularity #2, with specific competencies and trustworthiness far behind. In 2008, popularity was king.
Look at the 18-34 year old, 35-49 year old, and college educated vote. All Democrat candidates have the strongest support in these three cohorts. The age groups have shifted from In 2008, younger people supported Obama first and foremost because he was charismatic, young, hip, and cool (popular). Clinton, Biden, and Sanders have none of Obama’s charisma, youth, or hipness, but all are ideologically left.
Even among the college educated, Bush fares poorly against all three. So the supposedly nuanced, educated voters, when faced with a totally untrustworthy Clinton, or a socialist flake Sanders, prefer them to a GOPe Bush.
The Republicans, conservatives, and the populists have lost the future.
How damaged is the Republican brand at this point? How much damage did George W. Bush, Iraq, and Katrina do to the Republican party? The answer is enough to insulate the Stuttering Clusterf—k or a Miserable Failure that is Obama from any repercussions of his failures, and the ossified Democrat party.
Is this a vote for liberal policies, or is this a vote against Republicans? I think it is both. Republicans were still a tarnished brand in 1980, but Reagan was able to win against a failed Democrat president by selling conservatism as the answer.
We have a problem. Rubio’s youth, charisma, and optimism cannot move the scale with the under 50 and the college educated. Bush’s supposed broad appeal cannot move the scale with the under 50 and the college educated. Trump’s populism and brashness cannot move the scale with the under 50 and the college educated.
Everyone in the political class is worried about the Hispanic vote, but Bush or Rubio getting 35% of the Hispanic vote is not going to be enough to win the election. But I think the under 50 vote is far more important, as is the college educated.
I wonder if the guy who owns Ashley Madison will give Slow Joe a contribution?
Obama as president has been bad enough, but that stupid Biden would be Jimmy Carter the second. A blooming idiot if there ever was one. He will probably steal JFK’s speech. “Not what your country can do for you, but all that you got you can give to the new citizens from the world that have moved here and need your stuff to survive. I.E. your money.”
Palin and Ryan had their chance to expose Biden, but they took the “gentlemanly” route and failed.
