Trump surges among likely Republican primary voters: Reuters/Ipsos poll (42%)!

After a week in which he hosted Saturday Night Live and stood center-stage at a Republican debate, Donald Trump is surging among Republicans likely to cast votes in the party’s presidential primary. According to the five-day rolling Reuters/Ipsos presidential poll, Trump has leapt some 17 percentage points among likely Republican voters since Nov. 6, when he was essentially tied with Ben Carson at about 25 percent.

Among all Republicans - not simply likely primary voters -Trump holds a substantial edge over Carson, at 34 percent to about 20 percent, according to the Reuters/Ipsos poll. Trump’s appearance on NBC's Saturday Night Live earned the program its highest ratings in two years, with 9.3 million viewers tuning in. Then, on Tuesday, 13.5 million viewers watched the debate from Milwaukee broadcast on the Fox Business Network. It remains to be seen, however, whether Trump’s surge will hold in the wake of his comments at an Iowa rally Thursday night in which he tore into Carson, telling the crowd that Carson has a "pathological" temper.

"If you’re pathological, there’s no cure for that,” Trump said. "If you’re a child molester, there’s no cure for that.” Trump then posted a video critical of Carson on his Instagram account Friday. The Republican establishment has long expected the outspoken billionaire to fade, and he has yet to give it the satisfaction. Trump has consistently held more than 25 percent of the support among all Republicans in the Reuters/Ipsos rolling poll for more than two months. The Reuters/Ipsos poll is also bad news for Marco Rubio, who is widely considered to be emerging as the establishment-backed alternative to Trump. Despite receiving rave notices for his past two debate performance, Rubio’s support has remained flat, with about 10 percent of likely Republican primary voters preferring him.

His attack on Carson is not going to sit well with people.

Quite possibly. The timing of his statements was well nigh prophetic.

you would think even the brain dead Occupier types would want to be protected.

There's some kind of goofy homoerotic/erotic Freudian death impulse going on with the left.

He did not attack Carson. He was answering a question and he gave an example about pathological. Stop with liberal media talking points

After Paris Trump will be @60%.

Thanks to the suicidal liberals and some destroy America faux conservatives, his elected % will stay at about 60%. That should win the election

It just to show how easily poll results can be shifted by tweeking the sample .

Elections can be shifted the same way, by tweaking the votes.

Carson the pro amnesty = cheap labor traitor
Pro Obama treasonous Trade sell out = the bought off traitor

I don't think Carson lying and peddling amnesty while 155 innocents are dead because of Dem lite policies will sit well with the American voters .

But the media wing of the DNC will declare Trump finished.

Also, the Trump haters on FR will call us dumb and lie about how Trump has lost it for his attacks on Ben NyQuil.

>> the MSM is just trying to pretend they are fair

Not the MSM I have been watching! Never before in my life have I seen them so blatantly biased. They aren’t even trying to hide it any more, even in this primary phase.

Tds sufferers and concerned stealth DC trolls will be melting.

Then they will be frothing at the mouth and posting their bs about how Trump can not be elected.

His attacks on Carson aren’t going to sit well with Carson supporters.

The rest of us people realize that calling out the sacred black cow that is Carson is long overdue. The man is not fit to be president.

Yes Trump also said “bomb the sh#t” out of ISIS. That is not going to sit well with people—not.
