Newsmax Poll: Donald Trump Overwhelms Obama, GOP Field

Newsmax Poll: Donald Trump Overwhelms Obama, GOP Field in 2012 Race

Monday, 11 Apr 2011 05:18 PM
By Jim Meyers

An Internet poll sponsored by Newsmax.com reveals that Americans overwhelmingly favor Donald Trump as their preferred candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012.

Online participants in the poll, which has drawn more than 550,000 responses, also support Trump by a wide margin in a head-to-head matchup with President Barack Obama.

If the election were held today, Trump would beat Obama in a landslide, 68 to 13 percent. But that lead is just as sizeable when Trump faces off against the best and the brightest in the oft-mentioned field of GOP contenders for 2012.

Trump takes 57 percent of the vote in a field including Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty. His closest competitor, according to the poll, is former Massachusetts Gov. Romney with 9 percent of the vote. (See full poll results below — and you can still vote in the Trump poll — Click Here Now.)

The Newsmax online survey, a non-scientific poll, comes as Obama advisers launched their own attacks last weekend on Trump, who has surged in several polls over the last several weeks as he's questioned the president's resistance to making his birth certificate and other accompanying details public.

The president has released a "certificate of live birth," a shorter document that carries the same legal weight as a birth certificate in Hawaii. But Obama has not released his so-called “longformâ€

https://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/.../11/id/392535/

I think this is totally because Trump is taking it straight at Obama on the birth certificate issue, and the American people know there's something fishy there, that no one else is talking about anymore. I don't think Trump would make a great President, but he is hitting on an issue that really rankles Americans about Obama.

Not just the birth cert issue

Trump has it wired on several issues

Bottom line he is just an in your face speaker , He said right up front he'd stop the bs on the southern border

I think its refreshing to hear one of these guys talk about America rather than this "global citizen" garbage

"I think I saw Donald Trump kind of rising in some polls, and given his behavior and spectacle the last couple of weeks, I hope he keeps on rising because there is zero chance that Donald Trump would ever be hired by the American people to do this job," Plouffe said.

This Plouffe seems like he's full of puffery.

I'd vote for Trump. I don't trust Romney. I hear Ron Paul is supposed to announce next month if he's running again or not. Chances are pretty good he will.

Does anyone know if Trump is CFR?

CFR is Council of Foreign Relations. They are akin to the Bilderberg Group and the Tri Lateral Commission....all in relation to establishing a New World Order.

When you get some time, watch The Obama Deception. You can see the full version on youtube or get it off Netflix. A real eye opener that will clear a lot of things up and explain what the above groups are about. I made copies of this movie and gave out over a 100 of them to everyone I knew. People were totally blown away. I admit after seeing that movie, I'll never be the same. It changed my life and how I look at govt.

Main article: Council on Foreign Relations

There are two types of Council on Foreign Relations membership: life, and term membership, which lasts for five years and is available to those between the ages of 30 and 36 at the time of their application. Only U.S. citizens (native born or naturalized) and permanent residents who have applied for U.S. citizenship are eligible. A candidate for life membership must be nominated in writing by one Council member and seconded by a minimum of three others (strongly encouraged to be other CFR members).[1]

Corporate membership (250 in total) is divided into "Basic", "Premium" ($25,000+) and "President's Circle" ($50,000+). All corporate executive members have opportunities to hear distinguished speakers, such as overseas presidents and prime ministers, chairmen and CEOs of multinational corporations, and US officials and Congressmen. President and premium members are also entitled to other benefits, including attendance at small, private dinners or receptions with senior American officials and world leaders.[2]
