While real estate mogul Donald Trump continues to lead the Republican field, several rivals are beginning to find footholds, the new poll shows. Trump leads with 30 percent of the vote, ahead of 15 percent for retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson and 10 percent for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

Trump losing support is nothing but a GOPe Media construct.

I get that same feeling too.
Second, it would be amazing if Trump had 37% in a field this crowded. I think at this point in the race support is a measure of the news a candidate makes, and Trump makes his as he goes along.
IOW, if his support was 37% I would expect the race to tighten until more candidates drop out. True not just for Trump, I would expect the same of any front runner.
Who knows as he fills in the details...Immigration, Second Amendment, now taxes. All much better than I could have hoped.
Yes. 37% last week of August. See my last post on how they played the narrative to make it sound worse for Trump.
Thank you! Luv Trump!
How does Jeb manage to stay in the double-digits? If Perry and Walker were barely asterisks in the polls, by all rights Jeb should be even lower.
The Hillary zombies because they know if he is the nominee she will win.
There’s also something fishy about a guy who can spontaneously announce a campaign appearance and get close to 10,000 people, and others who plan for weeks and can’t fill a ball-room.
None the less he is describe as losing support, and they are described as up and coming.
Trump now has three detailed position papers on his website. I don't see this level of detail on any other candidate's website (please feel free to point out to me if otherwise).
The three position papers are for the following:
Immigration
Second Amendment Rights
Tax Reform
I'm sure others are to rapidly follow. While we can nitpick at these positions all day long, I don't think any reasonable conservative can deny that these are not major steps in the right direction.
Forget about whether or not Trump had Hillary at his wedding and whether or not he said nice things about some liberal back when he was greasing palms and pulling political levers to get what he wanted with regard to his business interests. He admits that and he states that it is not the way things should be. So now he's going to go about changing the system so that our government works for the people and not for special interests, lobbyists and other pressure groups.
Ronald Reagan is not going to come walking through that door. We must choose a conservative leader who will have the ability to deconstruct the Republican Party that has failed us and rebuild it bigger and better than it ever was before. Donald Trump is the only candidate who has both the desire and the ability to actually get this done.
That NBC poll may be an outlier, but so is this one.
Say what you want, but the trend is clear. Trump hasn’t increased his support, and in most polls has lost support. I happen to think it’s because Trump has intense support but a limited ceiling. You can feel free to disagree.
The latest Fox poll has Trump at 26.
But if they figure that out they will prop up someone else that may get more support.
These guys!☺
Can Rubio, Carson, Fiorina, or Bush get as high as 20% let alone 25%?
Don’t disagree with you at all. There has been a decline in Trump’s support, but there has likewise not been a surge for anyone else. Carly is dropping slowly as well and Carson is treading water and down slightly. RCP is irritating because they will include a BS poll from NBC which samples 230
republicans or the Bloomberg poll with 391, but ignore something like Zogy or Morning Consult which have higher sample sizes.
Lets look at the latest state polls. And they mean more than silly that CoC WSJ/NBC poll.
New Hampshire for instance. What do we have here? ...Oh yes Trump has expanded his lead in an early primary state:
- - - - -
“Donald Trump holds a 10-point lead over Carly Fiorina in the latest CNN/WMUR poll.
The new poll finds Trump receiving 26 percent support from New Hampshires likely Republican presidential primary voters. Another 8 percent pick the outspoken billionaire as their second choice.
Those results are up from a similar CNN/WMUR sampling in July, when Trump received 23 percent support from the same demographic. ...
Carson receives 8 percent support while Bush and Kasich tie at 7 percent.”

And looky Dr. Ben faded to only 8%.
Jeb supporters are party establishment that are too afraid to admit in public that they are party establishment...
Say what you want, but the trend is clear. Trump hasnt increased his support, and in most polls has lost support. I happen to think its because Trump has intense support but a limited ceiling. You can feel free to disagree.
Yes, the conscience of an overly emotional Trump hater thinks that Trump winning by double the next competitor is a sign he is all done...
CNN polled NH in July and then again in September. You can’t tell anything about current trends based on polls that far apart.
Look at the realclearpolitics link I posted above. Where are you seeing consistent polling between 25-35%?
