With 7.4% saying they won’t vote, this means 92.6% will. Those who won’t vote don’t count. This then means Trump is getting over 41% of those who will likely vote which will give him the prize in many states.
Rubio was a collaborator, not a victim of Schumer and McCain.
Rubio wanted to be the face of that Gang of Eight bill.
I wondered why that Reuter’s poll wasn’t updated on Monday like it generally has been. Look at the chart and you’ll know why.
Look at Sunday’s figures.
Trump 42.9% vs Carson at 13.8%. They didn’t want to leave those numbers up for a few days, making Trump look like he has soaring.
42.9%! That would have stood on the Reuter’s page until Friday, when it would have been updated again. Couldn’t have that.
The next day it was Trump 42.6 vs Carson at 11.7%. Couldn’t let that remain there until Friday. Nope, couldn’t have that.
Then yesterday Trump slipped to 38% and Curz was in second with 11.6 and Carson 11.5%.
I have trusted this poll for months now, because it seemed the least gamed poll I had seen. And then for the first time in several months, they held off reporting on a Monday or Tuesday as they generally had, and seemingly to show Trump in a less superior light.
The Quinnipiac Poll seems a tip-off to me, in that it was the first one to show Carson surging in Iowa. Now they’ve seen Curz doing the same thing. This must be a final hail Mary play, because I know they don’t want Curz either.
The Reuter’s poll is now showing Curz movement too. Time will tell.
I remain skeptical based on how the polls seemed to have been gamed for Carson. We’ll see.
Those are some amazing poll numbers for Trump.

Big-Name G.O.P. Donors Urge Members of Congress to Back Immigration Overhaul.
So much for changing on amnesty.
Cruz moving into a solid #2.
Perfect trajectory.
I’m just fine if it comes to him and Trump.
That’s Soros Operatives spending his pocket change to influence perceptions.
Wow there is no contest here.
Re #5:
People forget how conservative Rubio is. They cherry pick issues they’re not happy with him about. I myself got pissed last night regarding a comment he made on supporting Turkey/NATO. But he’s still way more conservative than any but Cruz.
I won’t be voting for Rubio in the primaries but if he pulls out the nomination (far more likely he will then Jeb) I’d certainly vote for him. At least he’d make good court appointments.
Carson’s fading, and it looks like many Carson supporters are jumping to Trump.
Just because Rubio was useful to them doesn't mean that he was their unwitting dupe, Rubio's immigration agenda is identical to Schumer and McCain's. People are giving Rubio too much of the benefit of the doubt in claiming that he was deceived and manipulated by Gang of 8.
And if it really were true that Rubio was "manipulated," being that gullible and opportunistic would make him even less fit for high office than if he were sincere about it.
“[Cruz’s] voice is whiny and pitchy...”
The same was said about another president who excelled at debates, Lincoln. (I know, he didn’t have to face the mass media, but he still had to persuade those around him with his intellect and voice).
Go Trump!
Every time these GOPe, RINO’s; media, talking heads and others come out to discredit Trump on everything pertaining to him, it makes me so proud to have thrown my support behind him from the time he stood in the lobby of Trump Towers to announce his candidacy...and I was 100% behind him then, and I am 100% behind him now...
Trump is the only person who can take Trump out, Trump made Trump, Trump is an icon to the American People that have been walked on, lied to, used, thrown around, and he speaks with his supporters as if he’s having coffee with us at our kitchen tables...
He’s not ‘owned’ by anyone other than himself, and the American People, he doesn’t have a ‘super pac’ he doesn’t have ‘lobbyists’ he doesn’t have ‘handlers’ that tell him what to do or say...he is owned only by the American People....and you can’t get better than that!!!
GO TRUMP ALL THE WAY TO THE OVAL OFFICE!!!
Someone tweeted that the IA Reuters is 31-21 Trump over Cruz. This would be Trump’s biggest lead over #2 in IA ever, right?
Huge difference in today’s media. This is like a Kennedy vs Nixon thing.
So they are taking advantage of the turkey to manipulate the poll
No internals, no in-depth polling data. Change filters to likely, and registered, voters and numbers swing.
This poll could very well be 100% accurate. But without any hard data to analyze, I remain skeptical.
Sad but oh so true. I said a long time ago that Ted sounded too much like "Walter Denton" from the old TV show "Our Miss Brooks."
There is such a thing as voice coaching. If your heart roars like a lion, one can learn to sound less like a meowing pussycat.
I think there are some problems with “silver spoon” mentality with Cruz, and therefore he sees no room to grow. He’s a nice alabaster saint the way he is.
Fault Trump for a very vestigial (if that) faith, but Trump sees room to grow. There’s possibly more hope for this than for a Christian who just lives as a museum piece.
Wow. The 3 of them combined don’t even equal Trump’s 38 percent. The GOP establishment is deeply saddened.
