Trump Expands Lead, Gets Even More Popular Despite Critics and Media Hit Squads

So much for that dishonest CNN poll[1] that Fox News was touting. Zogby’s latest poll is out showing Trump expanding his lead by 2 percentage points from 31% to 33%, with Ben Carson 20 points behind him. Ben Carson has dropped 3 points. They just keep hoping and hoping that Trump will pan out and fade away. Not happening folks. They don’t know Donald Trump very well. Trump is gathering the brightest and best for his various teams. He’s tapping people that the elitists snubbed who are tops in their fields. He’s not going to reveal his policies and plans until he’s ready to do so. What I don’t understand is Jeb Bush’s attitude. He doesn’t show up at events and he doesn’t care about the polls. It’s almost as if the Joyful Tortoise thinks he’s got it in the bag no matter what. Knowing the corrupt GOP, they will definitely try to shove Jeb Bush down our throats. Count on it.

From Gateway Pundit:

A new poll by Zogby Analytics shows Donald Trump expanding his lead on the GOP field. Trump garnered 33 percent of the vote 20 points up on Dr. Ben Carson.

NBC 26[3] reported, via Free Republic[4]:

A new poll conducted by Zogby Analytics after last week’s Republican presidential debate on CNN shows Donald Trump leading Dr. Ben Carson by 20 points.

According to the survey, conducted September 18-19, made up of 405 likely Republican primary/caucus voters nationwide, Trump garnered the support of 33 percent, which is an increase of 2 percentage points since Zogby’s previous poll. Dr. Ben Carson remains in second place, but dropped 3 points to 13 percent.

Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush’s support stayed flat at 9 percent, while support for former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina has grown from 2 percent to 7 percent.

The new poll shows Texas Senator Ted Cruz at 5 percent, Florida Senator Marco Rubio, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul and Ohio Governor John Kasich all at 4 percent. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie stands at 3 percent.

The recent Zogby poll is in contrast to a post-debate CNN/ORC poll showing Trump losing support, but still maintaining the top spot in the Republican field. In that survey, Trump garnered 24 percent support, down 8 points from earlier in September.

I’m surprised that Ted Cruz is not doing better, but it is early days yet and we’ll see. He’s got the funds and the staying power and he’s not going anywhere but up. I actually don’t believe that Bush and Fiorina are ahead of Cruz, but that’s just me and my skepticism talking. Rubio will stay in and fight. Paul, Kasich, Christie and the rest should exit stage right gracefully at this point. Time to get serious and cull the field. It will be interesting to watch Trump trout smack these elitists and media whores who are in the bag for Jeb Bush. He’s up to the task and while he’s doing that, Ted Cruz will be policing Congress and calling out the corrupt DC cartel at every turn. It’s going to be a wild ride kiddies.
