Trump Triumphs In Trio Of Latest Polls
July 26, 2015 - There is more than one home run hitter in New York as Billionaire Donald Donald surges to the top in two polls and comes in virtually tied in a third.
In a new national poll released today, Trump has the support of 18%, followed by former Florida Governor Jeb Bush with 15% and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker with 10%. This poll was conducted after the McCain controversy , which apparently has not slowed the Trump juggernaut.
In fourth place is Senator Marco Rubio of Florida with 7% followed by his colleagues Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky both tied at 6%. In seventh place is former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee with 5%.
All tied at 4% each are Dr. Ben Carson , New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and Ohio Governor John Kasich. That's not a bad showing for Kasich considering he just officially entered the race this week. A tenth place spot would insure Kasich in the final spot of the upcoming Republican debate scheduled for August 6th in Cleveland , Ohio.
Trump's biggest critic among the 16 Republican presidential hopefuls is former Texas Governor Rick Perry who currently finds himself in 11th place with 4%. That showing by Perry would exclude him from the upcoming debate.
Tied at 2% are Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina ,Louisianan Governor Bobby Jindal and former New York Governor George Pataki.
Finishing out the bottom of the poll with 1% each is former CEO Carly Fiorina and former Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania.
In the latest poll from the granite state of New Hampshire , Trump finds himself at the top of the mountain with 21%. In a distant second place is Bush with 14% and Walker with 12%.
In Iowa which is considered almost home turf for Walker, he is facing a strong challenge from Trump. Walker has the support of 19% followed by Trump in a close second place with 17%. Trump campaigned in Iowa yesterday where more than 1,000 people turned out for his campaign rally.
In third place in Iowa is Bush with 12%.
