Riding on a string of big victories in the presidential primaries, Donald Trump has not only extended his lead against his GOP rivals, but also he has gained ground against Hillary Clinton, according to the latest IBD/TIPP Poll.
------------------------------------------------
The poll finds that Trump now leads Ted Cruz by 19 points — 48% to 29% — which is more than double his lead last month. At the same time, Hillary’s lead over Trump is now just seven points (47% to 40%), down from 12 points last month.
What’s more, 65% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents now pick Trump as either their first or second choice for the GOP nomination compared with just 49% last month. Cruz dropped from 63% to 57%.

Trumps negatives are fixable. Her’s are not.
Trump’s negatives are from two causes, 1, people do not know him (as it was with Reagan in early 1980,) and 2, to be totally honest, his mouth.
Trump can simply demonstrate he is a reasoned man, not a hip shooter, and that will take care of most of the second problem. Time will resolve the first.
Hillary on the other hand, has the exact opposite problem. Our dislike for her IS from knowing her, and will only get worse as the campaign continues and more people see her in a competitive environment.
Remember the other Hillary problem. A certain percentage of the people LOVE her, and the rest hate her. She has no one who just “likes her somewhat,” and in politics, that is deadly.
Of course, if she is indicted, and steps out, the Biden/Warren team are in within 72 hours.
Or as Manafort said, Trumps negatives are about personality, which are fixable. Hillary’s negatives are about character, which are not.
The people who don’t like Trump really don’t like him-—usually for no reason at all, except he’s “out there.” Eventually, however, they WILL have to choose between Cankles and him.
I don’t see how she can avoid it. If she refuses to debate can you imagine the hay Trump can make from that alone?
He’s going to win this.
And when he does, we win this.
And when we do, our nation wins this.
And when our nation does, the world will win this.
There is help on the way.
It’s morning in America again.
The thing is, negatives are actually good.
Wowza!
A great catch. Thank you.
So I think I saw Melania in that video. That means she had to hike to the hotel and hop the fence too, in high heels no less. Man, that chick is tough!
“Can you imagine the Butcher of Benghazi doing that? Not a chance in hell. If by some chance she was forced to, she’d demand that she be carried.”
I heard she once landed a 747 that was on fire, had two engines out, and was heavily loaded with nuns and orphans while under sniper fire in Bosnia.
That is the truth. But they are going to play her as the “Victim” of the mean ole man!
Until this Year the rule of thumb was the polls mean nothing until after Labor Day
“Would you rather work for Trump or Hillary?”
Its hard to believe there’s still those that don’t know that hillary is an evil self-aggrandizing creature that desires to rule mercilessly over you and your children as your Saul alinsky disciple witch queen,
‘conservative analyst’ George Will doesn’t know it, ergo how could us mere mortals ever hope to know,
1,386 Respondents
Hillary Clinton (Democrat) 44.3%
Donald Trump (Republican) 38.1%
Other/Wouldn't vote/refused 17.6%
National poll: Half of Republicans support Trump
April 29, 2016 680 Respondents
Donald Trump 49.8%
Ted Cruz 30.0%
John Kasich 14.7%
Wouldn’t vote 5.4%
28/04/2016 24% Opt Out of a Clinton-Trump Race [1000 LVs Trump 38% Clinton 38% Rasmussen]
And obviously, 6 or 8 points against Hillary is something that is eminently feasible to make up in a 6 month period.
The Democrats are pissing down their legs at the prospect of facing Donald Trump in the general election.
Donald Trump can make strong inroads into traditional Democrat demographics. He can bring new voters into the GOP and create the "big tent" that they've been talking about for years
In doing so, Trump would relegate the Democrat party to minority status for decades to come!
The potential is here for a massive landslide and yuge improvement in the GOP fortunes moving forward!
Vote Trump!
With Cruz and Kasick out of the way Mr. Trump will turn his guns toward Hillary and the people will love it.
