FYI....PPP was the most accurate pollster during the last presidential election cycle.

Donald Trump is leading the Republican field in North Carolina, according to a poll released Wednesday.
The billionaire businessman has the support of 16 percent of GOP primary voters in the Tar Heel State in the latest survey from left-leaning Public Policy Polling (PPP).
The poll comes with Trump mired in controversy over his recent remarks on Hispanics and immigration from Mexico.

Trump is especially popular with very conservative voters, PPP found, with 66 percent of them seeing him favorably versus 24 percent who hold a negative view. He also claims 29 percent support among younger voters and 20 percent support with men.

And the media plays right into his hands.

(4,461 posts)... hang in there through at least one debate. It would be platinum comedy. I'm afraid all the negative publicity and business losses will encourage him to go ahead and drop out now. My mantra for the present is "Let The Donald BE" ... The Donald.

(51,076 posts)but for tRump to lay it all out for everyone to see about his wealth is not going to happen. Even with the generalities of their wealth/income they are allowed to use it still won't happen.
He is the perfect definition of a fraud if ever there is one.

(5,557 posts)More outspoken and more memorable, so he gets an early bump just based on name recognition. Too many skeletons in the closet and too gaffe prone even by clowncar standards.

(2,807 posts)The idiots love his brashness. His gaffs won't matter because he never retracts and he never apologizes, and they love him for it.
Believe me, he could get the nom. The big money is going to have their hands full keeping him down. The Bush camp is burning up the phones with the big money guys trying to figure out how to play it.
He's Frankenstein's monster.

(21,575 posts)Honestly I don't see how anyone else in the field could beat him. All the rest of them are cookie cutter candidates that just say the same Koch written talking points over and over. They are about as interactive and inspiring as a cardboard box. trump has a certain personality and flair that I think will actually energize the RIGHT.
Just saying how I think a righty is going to respond to him. don't construe that statement as saying Trump appeals to ME!
