Hot Air and Townhall Media Group commissioned their first-ever scientific poll this month, partnering with Survey Monkey on the 2016 primary races. The online survey of 1,783 random registered voters across the United States took place among a potential audience of 45 million in the Survey Monkey response database, rather than just among readers of Hot Air and Townhall Media Group sites.
In the Republican presidential primary, Donald Trump has a large lead among Republicans, independents, and combined, whether likely voter controls are applied or not. Yet a majority of these voters believe that Trump does not have the temperament for the presidency, and Trump loses in head-to-head matches against some but not all of his GOP competitors for the nomination.
Among all combined Republican and independent voters, Trump (23.77%) leads by almost 3:1 over Ben Carson and Jeb Bush, who tied for second place at 8.13%. However, undecided voters (30.34%) still outstrip Trump:

(59,519 posts)1. WHY are you pushing this Republican distortion?????
In reality, Trump has about half the popular support that Hillary has right now, and Bernie is doing just as well as Trump in popular support.
Instead of acknowledging that reality, you have chosen to push an article that suggest that Trump is killing everyone else while "Hillary struggles."
WHY have you chosen to do that?

(59,519 posts)3. Whether you are pro Hillary is not the point. The point is that you are pushing the ridiculous
idea that Trump has a lot of popular support.
That is simply not true.
It's the same point the Conservative media spin machine is pushing.
It's not something that ANY responsible Democrat would push.
And I'll "relax" as soon as I stop seeing this conservative bullshit being pushed on a Democratic website.
