Poll: Donald Trump takes double-digit lead over the GOP presidential field




Donald Trump is soaring over his GOP rivals in a new nationwide Washington Post/ABC News poll conducted amid his controversial comments about Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) “war hero” status.

According to the just-released poll, Trump — with 24 percent support among likely Republican voters — holds a comfortable, double-digit lead over nearest competitor Scott Walker, who captures 13 percent support.

Jeb Bush, Mike Huckabee, and Sen. Marco Rubio round up the top 5 with 12, 8, and 7 percentage points of support, respectively. Sen. Rand Paul, meanwhile, sits in sixth place with 5 percentage points.
Despite his seemingly frontrunner-like numbers and a significant 20 point bump since the last Washington Post/ABC News poll was taken in May, the poll’s authors said Trump suffered a considerable drop following his remarks about McCain on Saturday.

“He was a war hero because he was captured,” Trump told host Frank Luntz during the 2015 Family Leadership Summit in Ames, Iowa. “I like people who weren’t captured.”

According to ABC News, support for Trump during the first three nights of polling held steady at 28 percent, but dropped into single-digit territory on Sunday following his comments about McCain, who was a prisoner of war in Vietnam

Just a few days ago Jeb Bush was in the lead. Now this despite the recent McCain controversy.

Makes me look forward even more to the Republican debates - the fur is sure gonna fly!

If I was an American in all likelihood I would be a Republican voter but I must say........if the choice was Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton and I had to vote (because I believe it is the least we can do for the war dead).....I sure wouldn't be voting for Trump.

All the work the Republican Party has gone to to prove they are not a fringe
party has gone out the window. Trump is an idiot and most of the people
know it. His big mouth preaching he is going to make America Great again
is a slogan made by Mussolini when he said he would make Italy Great again.
The term is used to announce muscle flexing and that leads to war.
Its like saying I will use your children and grand children as cannon fodder to
make myself look great.
He is looking more like a Narcissist every day.
I am beginning to think the Republicans are the party of ignorance when they
used to stand for sound fiscal policy. Now they want to oppose everything
and are marginalizing themselves. This will put Hillery in the White House.
