Poll: 57% Of Republican Voters See Trump As Nominee
Rasmussen is reporting that a majority of Republican voters are now seeing Donald Trump as the likely nominee.
Our latest national telephone survey finds that 57% of Likely Republican Voters now think Trump is likely to be the Republican presidential nominee next year, with 25% who say it’s Very Likely. That compares to 27% who felt a Trump nomination was likely two months ago when he formally announced his presidential bid, a finding that included just nine percent (9%) who said it was Very Likely.
At that time, Trump ran near the bottom among the 12 declared GOP candidates. Now he leads the pack of Republican hopefuls which has grown to include 17 prominent contenders.
Among all likely voters, 49% think Trump is likely to be the Republican nominee, including 17% who say it’s Very Likely. That compares to 23% and seven percent (7%) respectively in the earlier survey. Forty-eight percent (48%) now say Trump is not likely to win the nomination, with 21% who feel it is Not At All Likely.
Forty-two percent (42%) of Republican voters say Trump is unlikely to be their party’s standard-bearer next year, but that includes just 15% who say it’s Not At All Likely. That’s down from 29% who said a Trump nomination was Not At All Likely two months ago.

Was this poll taken in Oklahoma or Mississippi? Who else sings the M-i-s-s-i-s-s-i-p-p-i song when they spell Mississippi?

57% can’t be that gullible .. or stupid .. but since they are all 100% Republicans… I can believe it. Those are the same “losers ” who thought a lying, flip flopping Mormon polygamist could be POTUS too.

The GOP electorate has lost their collective mind.
And they’ll be walking around in a daze come the day after Election Night 2016, wondering how they could possibly have lost the presidency again. And the GOP leadership will hold another post mortem. And Bobby Jindal will again say they need to stop being the party of stupid.
And in the next election cycle, they’ll entertain the most misanthropic and misogynistic candidates over and over and over and…

Wow….I don’t understand how anyone takes this seriously and would actually consider voting for this con man. The media are treating this like a game show and making our country look like a bunch of morons.
