Pollsters Dumbfounded by Trump

[Jackson]

Pollsters dumbfounded by Trump

Polling experts agree on one thing when it comes to Donald Trump’s presidential run: They’ve never seen anything like it.

The billionaire businessman’s dominance of the Republican presidential race is forcing experienced political hands to question whether everything they know about winning the White House is wrong.

The shocks have come in quick succession, with Trump first rocketing to the top of national polls, and then taking double-digit leads in the early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.

In another act of political magic, Trump managed to flip his favorability rating from negative to positive in one poll during the span of a month — a feat that Monmouth University’s Patrick Murray called “astounding.”

Trump’s favorability rose from 20 percent to 52 percent among Republican voters between July and August, Monmouth found.

But as the attacks on Trump have intensified, so has his level of support.

Polls released on Tuesday show Trump lapping the field in New Hampshire, where he leads his nearest Republican rival by 24 percentage points. The story is the same in South Carolina, where the latest poll gave him a 15-point edge.

How long will this go on? The more Trump is attacked, the higher he gets in the polls!

Because he keeps talking to the people. The parties BOTH parties have forgot how to do that.

Looks like he's talking about what people have questions about. He's saying what those polled want to hear.

Will he still be here next year?? Unknown but its turning into one interesting run for the White House.

You don't see him saying "My fellow Republicans". Because he is talking to everybody. Look at the republican wonk statements...
" He's not conservative enough"....For who them? His polls are getting higher because he is NOT one of them.

Look at the way they handled media. Trump is brash and up front.
Bush is defensive and Hillary is almost every bad story out. The LAST thing American voters want is one of them.

I'd vote for a Chiwawa, over Hillary. So you got that part right.

I like Trump because he's willing to say openly, what other politicians dance circles around to avoid answering. And most importantly, he doesn't care.

But I have a real problem with his immigration policy. Yeah, do something about illegals, but also clean up the system so people can become lawful citizens.

Immigration is good. Illegal bad. But don't kill the good, while going after the bad.

I'm also a bit confused by his position on health care.

But again, if Hillary ends up the Democrap nominee, I'll vote for anyone, even Trump, over Hillary, no matter what his stance is. Hillary is evil scum. Spawns of Satan, shouldn't be in office.

I agree with most all you have said, except the immigration policy. I support it because illegals should not be rewarded. The can and may even have priority when coming back legally after deportation.

If nine of those people are supporting Trump and you are not. Guess who THEY figure is stupid?

To be among those who support Trump is not a club I would ever want to belong to. I'm not insulted by your comment because you are one of the idiots supporting an idiot...nothing you can say insults me. The fact you support Trump and make a lot of noise about it is insult enough to yourself. You look like an absolute fool.

So tell me are you to lazy or stupid to educate yourself?

Essy is an elitist and she thinks she's smarter and better than everyone else.

You are nothing but a low info everything. I am to in her esteemed estimation. Ah well. You can't please everyone. LOL And she is laughable to the extreme.

Trump’s favorability rose from 20 percent to 52 percent among Republican voters

Finding a lot of dumb people isn't what dumbfounded means.

 

[Andylusion]

Pfft...

10 months ago...in November of 2014...We The People sent 90+% of Congress BACK TO THEIR JOBS IN CONGRESS!!!!!!!!!!

Taking retirees and quitters out of the equation, 85-90% will go back in the winter of 2017; Guaranteed.

Newsflash the corrupt bunch of bastards in both parties have gamed the system to guarantee this.

Are you telling me, that if we the public do not vote for these people, that they will win their respective elections because they magically "gamed the system", no matter how we vote?

Which explains how Hillary is even a contender.

True, we have the words progressive and liberal for that.

 

[The Rabbi]

Trump's polling demonstrates that voters are idiots, willing to be conned by the first person who puts up some kind of appearance. Nothing more than that.

Yup. They are only dumb if they don't vote for Hilbat.

In Agithaters estimation that is.

Trump's numbers show the anger of the voter. What you are really seeing is the percent of Americans pissed off by BOTH parties.

Herman Cain was polling this high in 2011 around this time.

If you've forgotten who he is, try google.

I believe the Trump is more popular than Cain was. Remember there are 17 in the GOP field this time.

Rick Perry was in the 30's too. Briefly in the summer of 2011.

 

[candycorn]

On this board alone, there are 13 threads about Trump. Pollsters have found the more Trump is attacked, the more popular he becomes. It gets people in the position of defending him when it's actually defending right from wrong. But the more they defend Trump, they are slowly "owning" the support of Trump and begin to gee actual voters for him.

Making a lot of noise and getting a lot of attention from lost souls is not going to get him elected.

Jackson started all 13 of them. I guess a new Messiah does that sort of thing.

She's a dingbat, incapable of being educated let alone educating herself.

She is a leftist, and believes that she and other leftists of wealth and privilege are the rightful rulers of the little people. No doubt has an underwater basket weaving degree from an Ivy League, but couldn't create a balance sheet, org chart, or business plan to save her life.

Apparently, a vast number of Republicans have lost their minds. It's actually kind of scary.

Really? That's what you actually think? Have you ever posted anything even remotely intelligent?

Have you? LOL No you haven't. You don't even understand what is intelligent.

Thanks for confirming.

Good grief the number of low information voters is staggering.

 

[Londoner]

People think Trump is an anomaly because he doesn't hold 100% conservative principles, nor does he have much policy knowledge, nor does he bow down to his party leaders, preferring instead to engage in shallow tough talk.

His anti-illegal-alien ranting is designed to appeal to the crude nativism of a republican base that has no idea how much profit margins in sectors across places like California depend on the ultra low labor costs of illegal aliens. This is partly why Reagan passed the largest amnesty bill in history, so he could flood union-controlled labor markets with cheap labor.

But republican voters tend not to understand that Trump is merely manipulating their uneducated sentiments. They trust him. As they have originally felt about so many of the snake-oil politicians that came before him, the Republican voter is a Believer. They are always looking for a savior.

Trump is - more than anything else - appealing to the strategically created anti-government feelings of the Republican base. This strategy is old, and it's based on marketing yourself as a straight-talking "outsider" - someone who is fed up with government and is going to ride into Washington, crush the bureaucracy and save the nation. This is the lifeblood of talk radio, which conditions the republican voter to fall in line behind charismatic saviors who, like them, hate the establishment. Goldwater started it, Reagan perfected it and Republicans always fall for it.

(Why do Republicans always buy into this clearly manufactured straight talking "outsider" image? When will they learn to question their politicians? When will they realize that they are being played by the same government machine they hate so teamed to hate? Trump, in his desire to control Washington, is a politician.)
