Trump, Clinton dominant as Super Tuesday looms


CNN)—Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are poised to lead the nation's two major parties in this fall's presidential election, with a new nationwide CNN/ORC poll finding each well ahead of their closest competitors just as the race expands to a national stage.

Trump has expanded his lead over the diminished field to capture the support of nearly half of Republican voters, while Clinton tops Sanders by nearly 20 points.

On the Republican side, the new survey finds Trump's lead is dominant, and his support tops that of his four remaining opponents combined. The businessman tops his nearest competitor by more than 30 points: 49% back Trump, 16% Marco Rubio, 15% Ted Cruz, 10% Ben Carson and 6% John Kasich.

Full CNN/ORC poll results Feb. 24-27

Trump's supporters are incredibly enthusiastic about the coming election, and largely committed in their support for him. Nearly 8 in 10 say that they are more enthusiastic about voting this year than in previous elections, among Republicans who are not supporting Trump, just 39% say they are more enthusiastic than in years past. Likewise, 78% of Trump's backers say they will definitely support him vs. 22% who say they could still change their minds. Among those backing other candidates, 57% say they are committed to their chosen candidate.


The survey asked those Republicans not currently backing Trump whether they would support him if he became the party's nominee, and just a quarter of Republicans overall say they probably or definitely wouldn't support him in November. That's about the same as the share saying they wouldn't back Rubio or Cruz.
Trump is widely viewed as the candidate in the field who would be most effective at solving the country's problems, 51% vs. 17% for Cruz, 13% for Rubio and 10% for Carson, and as being best able to handle the responsibilities of being commander-in-chief, 48% say so, compared with 17% for Cruz and 15% for Rubio. The billionaire is also seen as the one who best understands the problems facing people like you, 46% Trump vs. 18% Cruz and 15% Rubio.

As accusations of dishonesty have flown between Trump, Cruz and Rubio, voters say they are more apt to see Trump as honest and trustworthy. Asked who of the five candidates is most honest and trustworthy, 35% name Trump, 22% Carson -- who has largely stayed out of the mudslinging - 14% Cruz and 13% Rubio.

Surprised no ones posted this poll today! I won't completely buy into it until the other national polls come out but this is the only new poll I've seen since the debate and all the negative attacks. 49% is dramatic change of about 17%. It also shows Rubio slipping bad since he went on the attack!

At this stage of the process national polls are a distraction.

Yeah, total shock, a leftist poll putting a leftist lib GOP plant in the lead, who'd have guessed?

When the media starts asking probing questions of the NY Lib like they did Palin, then Trump can be taken seriously, untill then, he's nothing other than a Manchurian candidate.

But the truly sad part, is he isn't hiding his leftist ideology with the likes the KKK and of David Duke's of the country backing him playing on a Nationalistic emotion.
We live in very dangerous times, where neither party cares about the future of this country.

Fuck Trump and the Leftist Trojan horse he rode in on!!!
