Donald Trump has now grown his lead over Hillary Clinton in Rasmussen Reports’ first weekly White House Watch survey.
Trump earns 42% support to Clinton’s 37% when Likely U.S. Voters are asked whom they would vote for if the presidential election were held today.

The level of panic in the Hillary orgs must be at least DEFCON 2 by now. This RAS poll is NOT an outlier.
“Cruz supporters will stay home if Cruz is not on the ticket.”
There is zero evidence to support this.
Vote Trump 2016
“Cruz eligibility is the least of the reasons.”
Not for the Dem party. They’re praying to Mother Gaia to find some Achille’s Heel on Trump, and Ted’s eligibility problem would be just the thing that would give them a clean opening to destroy our nominee.
Trump well understands this, and won’t risk the whole race by choosing him as his running mate.
By saying, "We hereby replace Hillary this late in the game."
Do not forget New Jersey, where clear laws stated Torrecelli could not be replaced in any way, just prior to the election.
Ergo, the Democrats promptly replaced him with Lautenberg, just prior to the election.
Hell No to Cruz.
Trying to sell Lyin’ Ted to normal sane people isn’t going to work. Perhaps you should consider a different hobby. You might find beekeeping fun, it’s good for the environment and there is always a chance of a reward for your efforts.
Fox had Sarah Huckabee on and didn’t quote this poll only the less impressive Fox News poll showing a 2 point lead.
Get with it Fox Rassmussen give Trump +5, and it was LV 1000 sample size 3 MOE.
Not a good day to make an acid joke.

God help us.
“I remember heatedly discussing the issue of Trump’s bad polling numbers versus Hillary with a lot of Cruz supporters in March.”
I remember that. The Cruzbots were saying that Hillary would cream Trump and that the only candidate who could beat Hillary was Cruz. A lot of us chuckled at the notion.
There may be some Cruz supporters who stay home on Election Day, but I won’t be one of them. I wanted Cruz, but my guy lost, and them’s the breaks. I have never liked Donald Trump, but I must admit that he has been growing on me, with talk of the wall and dealing with the Muslim threat and willingness to fight back against PC and against the Rats, and now his solid Supreme Court potential nominees. But even more than that, the thought of “Madam President” (to say nothing of “Comrade President”) is absolutely gut wrenchingly terrifying.
So yes, it’s come to this: come Election Day, I’ll be crawling over broken glass if need be, so I can pull the lever for a man whom I’ve held in utter contempt for many years. And if President Trump actually achieves even half of what he’s boasted of, I will stand up and without shame say that I was totally wrong about him and had completely misjudged him.
There goes the margin for error.
One from each side?
Very few believed me about either. You and CEW were amongst the first to see the truth about Jeb, you guys saw it as early as I did.
I almost got more hand wringing about pointing out the dems horrible candidate. I was called more names by Cruzers than you can imagine for saying the polls about Trump losing to Hillary were all wrong. So many fell for the nonsense.
Her getting beat, or virtually tied, by an unabashed socialist (dems usually pretend, he doesn't) 74 year old, somewhat doddering fool who looks 85 ought to tell you something.
I have no idea what they are going to do, but I love the smell of panic and the hand wringing that is emitting from the dem camp.
Parachuting someone in has more risk for the dems that the foolish #nevertrump movement tried to foist on us.
Like a rented mule. The people have been waiting for someone like Trump.
If it were a standard election cycle, I’d say the Dems would have a hard time winning, based on 1 simple thing....
15 years of stagnant wages.
That alone makes the party in power highly unlikely to win re-election regardless of their candidate. However, given how weak the GOP field was this cycle, the dems might have even been able to overcome this had Trump not wound up the nominee.
With Trump as the nominee, however.... no way they have any shot at a win.
Cruz supporters who stay home and refuse to vote are hardly conservative - they're petulant narcissists. Conservatives are supposed to be smart and thing of long term implications. Handing the election to Clinton is hardly a good thing in the short or long term.
And a VP can definitely affect a ticket negatively - see Dan Quayle. Especially when that VP candidate has fundamental, core differences with their President (such as Cruz has with Trump on several issues).
Remember when the media and people like Ted Cruz, John Kasich, and a whole host of GOP establishment types said he couldn’t win because Hillary was trouncing him in the polls during the primary season?
This fare out and Donald is winning in the polls? Wow.
Kerry is an absolute NO GO for the Dems especially since his negotiation of the Iran Treaty coupled with his loss to GW in 2004.
Kerry would be a dream candidate for the Republicans second only to Hillary.
