In a poll of 900 registered voters, taken September 2nd and 3rd, Trump beats Hillary 45% to 40%. Of those who pay a lot of attention to politics, Trump wins over Hillary 54%-36%. Equally surprising Trump does very well with people who have attended 4 years of college, 48-40% while Hillary wins with the least educated 44-35%. Trump also wins with those who self identify as ‘moderate’. He dominates among strong Republicans, 86% to 8%. Hillary dominates with voters under 34, 50-31%. Trump dominates all other age groups. Trump wins low income voters, 47% to 33% and he also wins among the highest income voters, 48-40%
Trump also beats Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, and Al Gore. Among Clinton supporters, 57% of them said they would be enthusiastically voting for her. 44% of those polled think Hillary will be the Democratic nominee and 30% believe Trump will be the Republican nominee. 20% believe Bush will be the nominee and 14% for Carson.

Bernie Blows Clinton. A Kiss Good Bye.
Kasich Trumps Bush. Inadequate Koch Response?
¿Tienes un problema con el Presidente? No envíe una papeleta en blanco en protesta ! Haga una escritura en la campaña en su lugar.
VOTA POR JEB BUSH !: un tipo blanco que puede confiar en Guatemala , Argentina , o incluso Brasil.
“Estoy Jeb Bush , y yo pagué por este mensaje. No, en serio ! Llámame . Yo soy tu hombre. Voy a estar allí mañana . “
Si, comprendo todo. Tambien, La esposa de Jeb, La Senora Bush, es Latina, y por eso, ustedes Deben votar por el. Es su calificacion por ser presidente de los E.E.U.U.
en anglais ou en français s’il vous plaît
No es calificación alguna! Bush para presidente de Méjico, no los Estados Unidos! Para América, Donald Trump!
De ninguna manera; no way, José. Bush is in fact a low energy has been; he should quit before he plummets to 0% support. When Trump beats both Rubio and Bush in FL, that oughta tell you something…
C’mon Marta! You know a real politician is always looking for the next election. No matter where it is. 😉
Lol
Please send Trump to charm school. Then I will be more comfortable voting for that arrogant, egotistical, crude braggart.
Obama is a very smooth, polished, and charming character. Maybe we need a Teddy Roosevelt character to clearly demonstrate we are no longer patsies.
Trump’s greatest asset is that he is not scripted and that he is a bold and audacious New Yorker. He will DEFINITELY do better with minority men because men of all colors and creeds like an alpha male, and not those pathetically beta male, consultant-guided, WASPy , white-guilt ridden, Bush-league characters the GOP has been offering in the Post Reagan Era. Jeb Bush is toast, and that is the icing on the cake. He and Jorge Ramos can have a show on Univision called The Simp and The Wimp.
Ouila! Yesterday I said that Trump would do better with minority voters and l,o and behold, I see this report on today’s Drudge Report.

I grew up with black and Hispanic men in lower Manhattan. They want the REAL THING, and will vote for a reasonably conservative white man if he is strong and assertive, not some lying old white woman. Furthermore, these two groups are more anti-Semitic than the rest of the population. They will never embrace Bernie Sanders as they would a regular Democratic presidential candidate. As of right now, the Democrats are in Big Doo Doo and I don’t think the creepy Joe Biden can really help them.
I really think he is going to get the nomination. My opinion is not shared by friends and family. I also think his signing the loyalty pledge was an indication that he is really on-board with the party, and needs its structure and support, even though he has financial resources. Without the loyalty pledge, he could have been kept off the ballot in key states and basically would not have had much of a change. I also wonder if even he is surprised by how far he has gotten so far. Do I agree with everything he had said? No. But I don’t see much other way to have a country at this point, and that outweighs even my loyalty as a Republican.
I’m coming around to your thinking but I still hoping Trump’s nomination is not a given.
I would think Trump would be surprised by his success but with his ego, perhaps not.
