Poll: Over 4 in 10 back Trump nationwide
By Mark Hensch
Donald Trump has over double the voter support of any Republican White House hopeful nationwide, according to a new poll.
Over 4 in 10 Americans are backing Trump’s campaign after his victory in New Hampshire’s GOP primary last Tuesday, according to a Morning Consult survey released Friday.
Trump earns 44 percent support from registered Republican and Republican-leaning independent voters. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) comes in a distant second, with 17 percent.
Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson and Sen. Marco Rubio are in third, with 10 percent each.
Trailing them are former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush with 8 percent and Ohio Gov. John Kasich with 4 percnet.
Six percent “don’t know” or have “no opinion” on which GOP candidate they support, while 1 percent prefer “someone else.”
Trump is also viewed favorably by over 6 in 10 of his party’s voters, pollsters found. He has a 67 percent favorability rating, while Rubio takes 62 percent and Cruz 61 percent.
Friday’s results found that Trump’s support has risen 6 points since his win in New Hampshire.
Trump earned 38 percent before Tuesday night’s vote. Cruz’s 17 percent remains unchanged since Morning Consult's last poll, while Rubio is down 5 points.
Morning Consult conducted its latest poll of 710 Republican and Republican-leaning independent voters nationwide from Feb. 10-11. It has a 3.7 percent margin of error.

Donald Trump Nears 50 Percent in New National Poll As Marco Robot Powers Down

Donald Trump was supposed to have a low ceiling of support. Sure, 30 percent of the GOP base might actually vote for a walking, talking caricature of capitalist excess. But once the field inevitably narrowed, the pundits assured us, a majority of Republicans would rally around an actual politician — one with public-sector experience and an aversion to menstruation jokes.
The first national poll released after the Donald’s triumph in New Hampshire suggests that the chattering classes might not know what they’re chattering about. Morning Consult finds Trump polling at 44 percent, with Texas senator Ted Cruz in a distant second at 17 percent. Florida senator Marco Rubio, the Establishment’s great Hispanic hope as of one week ago, has fallen to 10 percent. Rubio’s decision to come out as a robot built by Glenn Beck appears to have cost him dearly, as he is now tied with Ben Carson — a perpetually sedated amateur Egyptologist who doesn’t even really have a campaign anymore — for third place. The Establishment’s favorite son, Jeb Bush, is two points behind Carson.
With Rubio falling by the wayside, it’s genuinely difficult to see how Donald Trump doesn’t become the Republican standard-bearer. If these numbers hold, he would easily win a three-man race with Cruz and any of the Establishment-approved options.
Meanwhile, on the Democratic side, the race has tightened by six points since Bernie Sanders’s big win in New Hampshire. Hillary Clinton leads the democratic socialist by the slim margin of 46 to 39 percent. What’s more, for the first time in Morning Consult’s polling of the race, Sanders boasts a higher favorability rating among Democrats, enjoying the approval of 78 percent of his party’s voters, compared to 75 percent for Clinton.
A Trump and Sanders general-election campaign now looks genuinely possible. The latest weather report from hell is cloudy with a chance of freezing rain.

Personally, I would find it extremely concerning if a lot of Democrats were actually supporting Trump. As a staunch Republican I could never imagine myself supporting anyone running as a Democrat and I'm sure most Democrats feel the same way about Republicans. The ideologically differences are just to great. Well, according to the following article I won't need to concern myself with that.
No, Democrats Are Not Supporting Donald Trump

Mike Rogers, a former congressman from Michigan and now a right-wing radio talk show host, went on CNN and tried to claim that Donald Trump was appealing to Democrats as much as to Republicans. PolitiFact rates that a pants on fire lie because polling data shows the absolute opposite, that the overwhelming majority of Trump’s support comes from Republicans.Nope.
Can the Republican establishment steer GOP voters away from Donald Trump? Pundits on CNN chewed over the matter recently, with one conservative arguing they shouldn’t try.
“I think we’re missing one important point here. Donald Trump is appealing as much to Democrats as he is to Republicans,” said Mike Rogers, a former Republican congressman from Michigan and CNN’s national security commentator, on Jan. 12.First stop: the latest Fox News Poll, jointly conducted by a Democratic and Republican polling firm from Jan. 4 to 7. The results were reported four days before Rogers’ statement. It surveyed 1,006 registered voters by phone and found that in a matchup with Hillary Clinton, Trump’s level of support was 84 percent among Republican but only 9 percent among Democrats.And this is why Republicans fear an independent run by Trump if he doesn’t get the nomination. It would kill them in November and they know it.
The latest Quinnipiac poll to look at the question, conducted Dec. 16-20 among 1,140 registered voters, found that while 82 percent of Republicans would support Trump, only 4 percent of Democrats would vote for him in a matchup with Clinton.
So Democratic support for Trump doesn’t come close to his level seen among Republican voters…
The relevant numbers render Roger’s assertion ridiculous.
We rate it Pants on Fire!

Donald Trump is appealing to Americans who love their country and want good jobs.

I can see blue collar democratic voters who may have even lost their great union paying jobs to bad trade deals or have had their wages stuck or reduced because of excessive illegal immigrants in the construction industry or whatever having interest in Trump. In any event, if the family sees promise in the future with either a better job or basic job security (which is always threatening with every bad trade deal) , then the talk at the dinner table spreads to other voters as well.
Agreed, no staunch democrat is voting for Trump but the middle of the road voters (aka, sway voters who may have voted democratically can now sway to republican) may sway and that is to be expected.
