Donald Trump Leads GOP Field in North Carolina

[Common]

GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump is the leading choice among North Carolina Republican primary voters in a recent Public Policy Poll (http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2015/07/trump-leads-gop-field-in-north-carolina.html). Trump received 16 percent, while former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush received 12 percent.


Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker came in tied for second with Bush at 12 percent. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee was third with 11 percent. Dr. Ben Carson got 9 percent with
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)


Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)got 7 percent while Se. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)9
got six percent. Gov. Chris Christie received five percent. Carly Fiorina followed with four percent and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry had two percent. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)had one percent, as did Gov. Bobby Jindal, and former Sen. Rick Santorum. Gov. John Kasich and George Pataki were under one percent. President Obama carried North Carolina in 2008, but Republican nominee Mitt Romney took it back in 2012.
“Trump’s favorability rating in North Carolina is 55/32, much higher than we were finding in national polls prior to his entry into the race. Trump’s really caught fire with voters on the far right- 66% of ‘very conservative’ voters see him favorably to only 24% with a negative view of him. Trump is polling particularly well with younger voters (29%) and men (20%),” Public Policy Poll (PPP) reported.
Bush had been the leader in the North Carolina polls, but is struggling to get the conservative vote.
“Among ‘very conservative’ Republicans, only 37% see him favorably to 44% who have a negative opinion of him and only 7% of those voters support him for the nomination, putting him in 7th place in the GOP field. Bush’s overall 43/35 favorability is the second worst of any of the 10 candidates we measured that for, besting only Chris Christie’s 27/41 standing,” reported PPP.

I wonder if that will last?

After his interview on CNN, anybody who says they would vote for Trump should be committed.

I knew that before the interview....:wink:

[Common]

I think people view trump as more truthful than other Politicians, they believe he will say what the others think and will not say.

Either way trump wont win the nomination the GOP big money will assure that. They want those they back to be hungry for their cash and controllable, Trump is neither. I do believe hes more honest that Scott Walker and Chris Christie and if I had to I would vote for him over those two any day all day long

[PolWatch]

Politics is a crap shoot....there is no way to accurately predict what will happen. I won't predict this WILL happen but I will state what I THINK will happen.

Trump will drop out of the running prior to the final date requiring financial disclosure. He will tell everyone that he is having to drop out of the race because the unfair media reports have damaged his businesses. He doesn't really need the money but he is concerned about all his employees in the effected businesses (he's such a nice guy). He will give a spiel about how fearless he is but feels he must now devote himself to recovering lost ground. He will sincerely regret that America doesn't have enough brave citizens to demand him as king, er, president.....and BTW don't forget to tune in to his TV show...buy his clothing line....rent his properties......imo

No, because first he didn't answer any questions that Cooper asked him, he instead just deflected about how the Mexicans like him....duh, because he does business with them. He wants to make Mexico build a wall, but does not specify how to make them. Then the outright lie about more illegal immigrants have entered illegally under Obama than ever before.

That was the cliffs note version.

I sure wish I could get Chris Christie and Donald Trump to come give their straight talk speeches to Chicago's Washington Park. :grin:

BTW ... his Presidential Muslim will be blocks away and he's already given numerous speeches in The Hyde Park area already.

Oops ... I guess you didn't know :grin:

Since this is 2015 and not 2016, those sort of polls strike me as not worth the time to take the poll.

There are going on 20 candidates. Donald told the truth. But do the people want the truth.

Those not wanting the truth will of course vote for Hillary and those hating the rich will side with Bernie Sanders.

[Bob]

You can't get your Democratic party card unless you believe, and will take the oath, that you accept illegals as pure as gold American citizens.

You can't get your republican party card unless you agree to accept outrageous statements without concern for honesty or fact.

I think the majority of the repub candidates are between a rock & a hard place. One article pointed out they don't want to anger the right wing base because they are usually the ones who vote in the primary. The don't want to anger the more moderate republicans because they are the ones who turn out on election day.

I vote both times and I am centrist. (I know, you may not think so, but I really am)

The problem as the GOP sees it...if he upsets the apple cart, there may not be a way to upright it and get it rolling again.

The GOP fears Trump skipping off leaving them with their dicks in their hands trying to fix the damage.

Donald Trump may be the first nominee in American history to be fired off a Presidential nominating campaign.

Nothing trump said was disprovable.

liberals just happen to disagree.

But I'm guessing you are at least backing off your wish to lock up trump supporters.

Actually the part where he said more illegals have entered the country under obama. That was debunked by CNN.

It's called research. Trump can't even control how many illegals are working on his hotels, so what the hell would he know about research?

It's also called making up bullshit to fit the situation.

CNN does not know how many illegals have entered the US in the last 6 years.

Nobody said everything was ok. I am debunking your silly notion that one can spout of any bit of misinformation and not get called out for it. Trump is making himself look like a moron and the people who support him like idiots.

That is what all of the authoritarian statists of both parties keep saying. And yet Trump's position with the electorate continues to rise relative to the rest of second-stringers out there. My vote is Trump's to lose. It is looking better and better every day.
