Are the polls overstating Trump's support?
The Washington Examiner ^ | 12/1/2015 | David M. Drucker

Donald Trump's lead in public opinion polling could have a soft underbelly, leaving him more vulnerable than the numbers might suggest.

The New York real estate mogul and reality television star paces the field of Republican presidential candidates nationally, garnering an average of 35.1 in the Huffington Post polling tracker. Rounding out the top four candidates are retired pediatric neurosurgeon Ben Carson, with 13.9 percent and Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida and Ted Cruz of Texas, with 12.6 percent and 11.4 percent, respectively.

But use the site's custom filter to remove surveys conducted via the Internet, Interactive Voice Response, a combination of IVR and online and through automated telephone interviews, and the data looks significantly different. Using only polls conducted via interviews with live telephone operators, Trump's still commanding position in the national GOP average drops to 27.2 percent; Carson's number rises to 20.2 percent.

Don’t forget there were no muslims dancing on rooftops on 9/11. I caught Megan Kelly doing her mean girl routine against Trump last night but she and all the Trump attackers spoke too soon. Haha! Today there is lots of media affirmation of what Trump said. I remember hearing about muslims celebrating 9/11, it was on the media back then. Many people remember, I suppose that some of the people who are trying to make Trump look like a liar also remember and they are lying through their teeth.

I just love it when Trump is right. :^D

I remember when America put a man on the moon in 1969. Miss those days.

People who show up at Trump rallies are real Americans not George Soros rent-a-mob.
