LEFTISTS.

I think you are right, any pole that has Jeb and Rubio beating Cruz is not poling conservatives. So it looks like Trump lost a little support from the left of center indy and rats. Then again this pole could be complete Bull.

That could be the case, the Muslim database claim was gotcha reporting that Trump made an error on, but the disabled reporter might be hurting him.

The reporter has stated that he interviewed Trump on several occasions as well as asked him questions in press briefings. He said they had around 12 interactions and where on a first name basis. So, either the Reporter or Trump is lying and it sure looked like Trump knew about his disability and was mocking it. Why else would Trump say, have you seen this guy, and then make jerky arm motions.

This poll should be a wake up call for Trump. btw Reuters on line tracking was very accurate the last cycle.

I will vote for Trump if he is the nominee, although there is something about him that is troubling to me. But that aside, you guys didn’t think he would really be able to sustain the numbers until the election, right?

I have looked all over the internet and still can’t find a thing on Trump knowing this guy....so where’s the article that says he talked to him, knew him, and has known him?

I agree Reutuers is a very bouncy poll, the problem is that Trump’s campaign is poll dependent and gives him an aura of inevability. So, if Trump starts to fall to number 2 or 3? Does he change his campaign strategy and lay off the polling?

"Boy, Trump sure is gleeful whenever he can gloat about an opponent's low polling numbers."

You'd rather see Carson, Rubio, Jeb, Carly, Chisty, Paul, Kasack or Linda were leading in the poles?

Even if Cruz got the nomination, he cannot win the general election in this climate. Why you don’t care about that is why Cruz is still and will be behind. He might win Iowa, but that will be all.

That said, if he is all we got I will vote for him, but I will not be pumped that he could win the general election.

Truth is, he will probably not win the nomination, especially without Trump’s help.

Just a guess here. But I think they’re ramping up the rhetoric because Russia wants to hit Turkey from two sides — north and south.

In the south they want to have a secure port and ally in Syria and from a new Kurdistan carved out of Syria and Iraq and a big swath of Turkey. The Kurds have the ability to fight and winning protect their own state. They would want access to the Mediterranean, too, through a corridor passing the parts of Syria and Turkey.

On the north I think Russia wants to seize all of European Turkey and also deep into Asian Turkey taking Constantinople. They would secure their access from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean for all time. Europe is too weak to object and the Muslim invasion may lead some of them, like France, to prevent NATO from getting involved.

In time Russia may want to swallow all of Turkey after taking a chunk of the north and south and crush the Islamists and send in a million Orthodox missionaries to reconvert the nation to Christianity. (In my dreams, I realize.)

Following the attacks, Trump told an NBC News reporter that he would support requiring all Muslims within the United States to be registered to a special database, which his critics have likened to the mandatory registration of Jews in Nazi Germany.

Man, they are still pushing this BS lie. At least anybody who actually looks into the claim (by watching the whole clip with the NBC reporter) will know that the press made this issue up--and that fortunately only causes a backlash against the press.

That’s a rather strange thing to have happen during Thanksgiving week. Who is glued to politics besides us on Thanksgiving week? NOBODY!

Another funny thing happened this week with this poll.

This poll has been updated on Monday or at the latest Tuedsay for the last few months.

This week it wasn’t updated until Wednesday.

On Monday Trump was at 42.6% support. I commented then that it was highly unusual for them to hold off. Tuesday he dipped to 38%, and then they published on Wednesday. Sunday he had 42.9% support. So from Tuesday through Thursday, he dropped from 38% to 31%.

This calls to question what gives. He spiked to 42.9% on Sunday and by Tuesday he was at 38%. Then two days later he was at 31%. Tell me how tuned in people are from the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving day. This is when he supposed fell 7%.

There’s something really strange going on with this poll.

I’ve trusted it quite a bit this year, but it looks like that trust may have been misplaced.

I’d rather see a conservative leading in the polls, not Trump.

Wouldn’t vote 22.9%

That says it all.

They would probably count me in that category, but on Thanksgiving, or home, or working, or sleeping, or eating breakfast, or in the shower my response to pollsters is somewhat less polite, because the folks doing this are a waste of oxygen and electrons. Good grief, don't they know, using the telephone contributes to global warming.

When you subtract the 22.9% not voting the rest are likely voters. When you take 30% of the 77.1% that means Trump is getting 38.9% of likely voters. Number two is getting 14.2% of likely voters and he is empty suit Carson the guy who just went to a Syrian “refugee camp,” probably because his handler Armstrong “Chicago should have the nation of Islam patrol its streets” Williams told him to. 38.9 versus 14.2 and it’s Carson at that is right in line with other polls.
