According to a new CNN/ORC poll out Tuesday, the real-estate tycoon has built out a dominating lead on two of the issues most important to Republican voters.
A walloping 45% of respondents said Trump was the best candidate to improve the US economy. The next closest contender was Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor, who had a mere 8% say the same about his potential stewardship.
The core of Trump's campaign platform is based off of his opposition to illegal immigration and his heated — and sometimes controversial — rhetoric describing it. And Republican voters seem to be responding: 44% of them told CNN that Trump was the best candidate to handle the issue.
None of Trump's primary rivals came close. Twelve percent of GOP voters said Bush would be the best to handle illegal immigration, followed by three candidates who lagged on the economy question: former Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida at 7%, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas at 6%, and former Gov. Rick Perry of Texas at 5%.
At the end of June, just 13% of respondents said Trump was the best candidate to handle illegal immigration, compared with 21% for Bush.

Nope. I was wrong, as were many about Trump. That said, despite his current lead, I'm pretty sure he won't win the GOP nomination. If he does and runs against Hillary, I'll probably abstain from voting and drink heavily.

LOL but secure reasoned folks like Pat are the ones that do admit a mistake.
i, on the other hand, would never admit a mistake.

Safe thing to do in Maryland (or California). Not so much in, say, Florida, Virginia or Ohio.

Thankfully. That's allows me to watch the whole thing with detached bemusement.
