Trump cruises to bigger lead over rival GOP candidates

NIT – Donald Trump is showing huge gains in a new CNN poll released this morning.

Despite headlines and social media posts from publications like the New York Times and the Des Moines Register that are less than favorable, and constant attacks from rival Republican and Democratic candidates, Donald Trump has surged ahead in the early stages of the 2016 presidential election contest – and his lead is getting bigger.

According to a CNN poll released Tuesday morning, Trump is showing a lead of 24% of GOP voters to just 13% for the next candidate, Jeb Bush. CNN says Trump has gained 6% since July, even after a “debatable” performance in the first Republican debate hosted by FOX News and even more questionable remarks he made later.

CNN reported that 58% of GOP voters now have a favorable view of Trump, compared to 50% in a survey taken in July.

Trump continues to lead the pack in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Today, the Des Moines Register posted quotes to its social media page from South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham – who is also running for President but remains a non-factor – saying “I think the more [Donald Trump] exposes himself, putting forward solutions that are unworkable, the charm begins to fade after a while when you realize there’s nothing behind the curtain.”

The story headline was “The Eventual Undoing of Donal Trump.”

Trump recently called the Des Moines Register a “non-factor” in the presidential race.

Even as the media calls for his demise, Trump leads, and has Steve King singing his praises.  He called Trump’s immigration plan released Monday “Bold, strong, positive”.
