What were the results of the Breitbart survey?
Here is the gist of it:
Businessman Donald Trump won August’s Breitbart Primary, surging ahead of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who won the first two Breitbart Primary straw polls.
It was the first time that Trump, who announced his presidential bid two weeks after the inaugural Breitbart Primary started in June, has won a Breitbart Primary straw poll, and his 12-point victory over Cruz in August was the largest margin of victory to date in Breitbart Primary voting.
Trump received 38.7% of the vote, followed by Cruz (26.6%), Dr. Ben Carson (10%), Carly Fiorina (5.63%), Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)5%
(5%), Scott Walker (3.82%), and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)
(2.9%).
Cruz edged out Trump in last month’s Breitbart Primary, but Trump surged into the lead in the first week of August and, like in every other state and national poll, never looked back and widened his lead to 12 points over Cruz. Focusing his campaign on illegal immigration and trade deals that harm American workers and vowing not to be beholden to lobbyist and D.C. outsiders, Trump has lapped his competition in nearly every state and national poll that has been conducted in the last two months. Trump has galvanized the conservative base and is appealing to voters who usually sit out elections because they find establishment politicians from both political parties to be repulsive.’
