Poll: Donald Trump Now Leads Republican Primary Field By Nine Points

» 91 comments

According to a new poll released Friday morning by Public Policy Polling, Celebrity Apprentice host and undeclared candidate for president Donald Trump now leads his nearest GOP primary opponent by nine percentage points. The man that Lawrence O’Donnell calls “NBC’s Charlie Sheen” is showing the political world that a Birther-fueled publicity tour + a weak Republican field equals “Winning!”

Trump polled at 26% in the survey, trailed by Mau-mauer Mike Huckabee with 17%, and recently-announced mainstream darling Mitt Romney with 15%. In a few short weeks, Trump has managed to completely eclipse former media fulcrum Sarah Palin, who is polling at just 8%, still better than Minnesotans Michele Bachmann and Tim Pawlenty, who got 4% each.

A voracious political media isn’t Trump’s only ally. As TPM points out, Trump greatly benefits from name recognition, and from a Republican field that lacks it. Of the candidates in this poll, Romney and Pawlenty are probably the only two with a shot at success in a general election, but Romney will never make it through the primaries with his health care plan around his neck, and Pawlenty’s number is so low, he would currently lose to darkhorse candidate “Margin O. Error.”

In fact, the Republican candidates with the best chances for 2012 are the ones who have said they won’t run, like New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

The bad news for Republicans is that Trump has also been making noise about a possible independent run, if he doesn’t get the GOP nod. Such a run, if it materialized, would alost certainly pull votes away from the Republican candidate, and make it virtually certain that Barack Obama would be re-elected.

On the other hand, it is still very early in the campaign. At this point in the 2008 campaign, former NY Mayor Rudy Giuliani had the nomination locked up, and we all know how that ended up. There is still time for a credible GOP candidate to emerge.

Still, it’s becoming harder to see how the presence of Trump’s hat in the ring helps Republicans in any way. Sure, he makes other candidates look sane by comparison, but judging from this poll, that’s not such an asset these days.

    I’m relieved the collective wisdom of the liberal media elite has declared potential Republican candidates weak. What would we do without your infinite wisdom? I’m sure you will be the first to inform us when a “credible” Republican candidate emerges? How on earth would I know unless you deem it so? By the way… will you also let us know when Obama becomes a serious threat? There are millions of us who don’t think he has a snowballs chance in hell of getting re-elected.

    The modern GOP: Just give them enough rope, they’ll hang themselves.

    In all seriousness, if they lose this Presidential election, that’ll be 5 out of the last 6 (if you go by votes). That’s indicative of a problem. And it isn’t that they aren’t “conservative” enough. It’s that conservatism is defined by talk radio hosts and a news channel as opposed to any particular principled convictions.

    Because you believe what you want to believe. But to the ~10% of the population that actually decides general elections, Barack Obama is a credible candidate, and Donald Trump isn’t.

    Yup. The Republican candidates are weak. Trump is the biggest joke of them all, and he is most popular right now.

    “HE JUST WON” Donald Trump is so awesome! To call out this fraud of a president, bho, on his birth certificate and anything else he finds out is most courageous and patriotic. No one will do it. I praise Mr. Trump for this and all the naysayers will have to eat their words when he wins. I can’t wait to cast my vote and will do everything to get him to the white house. Thank you Donald Trump !!!!!!!!!! A true patriot…he genuinely loves this country and is the only one with a brain to get this country going again with respect and greatness.

    Anyone who steals policy ideas from Michael Weiner should be kept very far away from the presidency…

    “S: But, Donald, if you were the chief executive of the United States of America, would you do some of the more controversial things that I’ve called for such as, let’s go to Iraq. Many men lost lives, lost limbs, lost eyes, we lost our national honor in many ways for what? They’re sitting on a sea of oil, they’ve never given us a free barrel of oil. George Bush said they would pay us back though oil. We never got one free barrel. Don’t you think for example, Iraq owes us a few hundred million barrels of oil in exchange for how many billions we spent there?”

    Trump would be just the thing to shake things up as he has several things going for him that are lacking in every other Rep candidate hopeful….and every Dem as well

    1) He does not suffer fools and talking heads when they regurgitate talking points. He calls them on it.

    2) He puts America First. Every other candidate wants to make nice with China, Saudi Arabia, Mexico and whoever…no matter what the cost to the US in dollars, growth or jobs.

    3) He says what he means, and means what he says. Every other candidate hopeful talks Around issues, not to them.

    4) Trump Leads from the front. he does not plan to form a committee to hide behind and obscure the issue…he handles them. He makes the Deal.

    5) He knows when to mind his own business. Trump does not confuse Social states rights issues like Abortion, Gay Marriage, etc. with federal fiscal issues.

    Frankly I am surprised at my own support for Mr. Trump, but so far he seems like the only candidate of either party that is speaking Too the issues and not around them.

    The sky is blue except when it’s not and the grass is green except when it’s not. I’ve seen black skies and I’ve seen brown grass that has faded due to lack of attention. Or I’ve seen fake grass which isn’t really grass.

    PPP is a liberal hack poll. This article is written by a liberal hack. The libtards are daring a Trump candidacy because Obama CAN beat him, not on substance, but on Trump’s past. Trump runs circles around Obummer in business acumen and guts to tell the truth. Unfortunately, voters don’t vote that way. Clips of Trump shaving Vince McMahan’s head, discussing his sex life on the Howard Stern show, and calling Rosie O’Donnell a pig (which she is) will sink a Trump bid. The libtards, while stupid, know that a Pawlenty or Romney CAN beat the empty suited Marxist so they’re pimping the Trump. Or in Crazy Larry the Douche’s case, baiting him to run.

    If I’m the Romney or Pawlenty campaigns, this de-facto DailyKos poll doesn’t mean shit.

    All this said, keep going Donald! You’re saying what needs to be said. Obama is a fraud and you’re the only one with the balls to say it. If only your past wasn’t so tawdry and uncivil.

    Trump was amazing on his interview with Hannity last night.
    If he can get down a few “political” do’s & don’ts, he will be really scary to the administration.

    Personally, I hope he runs & enters the Republican primary debates. Then if he decides NOT to run, he will still expose Obama as too weak and been a good shield for the Republican field.

    I’m not really sure he has decided if he wants to take this on yet. He’ll have to decide soon after his commitment to Celebrity Apprentice is over. It’s going to be interesting.

To call out this fraud of a president, bho, on his birth certificate and anything else he finds out is most courageous and patriotic. No one will do it. I praise Mr. Trump for this and all the naysayers will have to eat their words when he wins. I can’t wait to cast my vote and will do everything to get him to the white house. Thank you Donald Trump !!!!!!!!!! A true patriot…he genuinely loves this country and is the only one with a brain to get this country going again with respect and greatness.

    Oh Yes! Yes! Trump is the answer! He genuinely loves us and cares about us! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Oh goodie goodie, I’m so excited I just can’t wait! Hooray for Donald Trump the mighty one, our saviour is coming to save the day!!

    Blah! Dream on sucker.

    Want to get an idea of just who Barry Soetoro, aka: Barack Hussein Obama REALLY is?

    GOOGLE: “The Sworn Affidavit Of Bishop Ron McRae” and read it. Especially note the part that mentions how MUSLIMS (which “O” is, make no mistake) do NOT have to give up their beliefs or faith to be members of Jeremiah Wright’s “Christian church” in Chicago, which “O” belonged to for 20 years.

    Barack Hussein Obama is NOT an American citizen.
    Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim.
    Barack Hussein Obama has NEVER released his kindergarten records.
    Barack Hussein Obama has NEVER released his Punahou school records.
    Barack Hussein Obama has NEVER released his Occidental College records.
    Barack Hussein Obama has NEVER released his Columbia University records.
    Barack Hussein Obama has NEVER released his Columbia thesis.
    Barack Hussein Obama has NEVER released his his Harvard Law School records.
    Barack Hussein Obama has NEVER released his Harvard Law Review articles.
    Barack Hussein Obama has NEVER released his scholarly articles from the University of Chicago.
    Barack Hussein Obama has NEVER released his passport.
    Barack Hussein Obama has NEVER released his medical records.
    Barack Hussein Obama has NEVER released his files from his years as an Illinois state senator.
    Barack Hussein Obama has NEVER released his Illinois State Bar Association records.
    Barack Hussein Obama has NEVER released his baptism records, and his adoption records.

    He changed his name during his youth from the far less MUSLIM sounding name of Barry Soetoro to the far more sounding Barack Hussein Obama. He also speaks Arabic, possibly fluently. Anyone care to name any other REAL American “president” who took the time to pride himself with that diddy?

    Is there ANY “ordinary” (or otherwise” AMERICAN CITIZEN who has NEVER had to produce their birth certificate for far LESS legal reasons than being PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES? Think about it.

    Just imagine if Obama were a Republican what the media would have put him through. Just the FACT that Mitt Romney IS a Mormon was something the Big Commie Media convinced a lot of voters was something terrible during the 2008 campaign…but with the illegal Kenyan Muslim Marxist racist, Obama, they totally ignore EVERYTHING about his past. UNbelievable!

    BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA is a USURPER and everything he has done is null and void in my (and millions of other Americans’) opinion.

    Of couse the Organizer in Chief didn’t have to give up being a Muslim in Wright’s “church.” His church, as it is, isn’t a house of Christian worship, it’s a socialist house of social justice.

    I cant believe we are so inundated with ignorance and lack of basic education. How do you guys survive in the 21st century ? Who takes notice of your rambings. Help usa . Get rid of all the ignorance and lying and hype and confusion.

    The Republican Party’s task is to thread a political needle — find a candidate irrational enough to placate the ideologically self-serving conservative base as well as the homophobic extremists of the Religious Right, the racist birther contingent, and the xenophobic, secession-happy Tea Party flakes, yet rational enough to satisfy the rest of America.

    The current batch of potential Republican candidates is so pathetically weak and so obsessed with coddling the birthers and the tea party extremists, Obama needs to be concerned about becoming complacent in his preparations for the 2012 campaign.

    Most Americans can only tolerate a limited amount of inane and irrational commentary from our candidates for national office. With clowns such as Huckabee, Palin and Bachmann, we would be inundated with a daily barrage of sanctimonious, religious doctrine-driven societal intolerance, comic book-level analyses of complex issues, and delusional tripe based on unbridled ignorance of the topics being discussed.

    With Newt and The Donald, we get a couple of guys who are long on ego, short on ethics.  In addition, Trump has demonstrated that he is willing to say just about anything — the more hyperbolic, the better — in order to get a news sound bite. And DeMint, Cain, and Barbour provide us with candidates who cannot evade their personal racist and/or xenophobic demons.

    Good times.

    All poll results crumble when New Hampshire primary is held.
    Until then, this is just a beauty pageant.

    Glad to see your “debate chops” are up to the usual Democrat standards. Thankfully, Americans proved themselves smarter than that last November.

    When the content of your comment is filled with such a lack of intellect or objective substance, you might begin to suspect you’re missing something. You might.

    Perhaps Islam taking a comparable approach to the US is how we ended up with 9/11 in the first place.

    Love him or hate him, Donald Trump is not afraid to speak his convictions and he’s not afraid of being controversial.

    Although Democrats have always stood with your allies, the terrorists, against America, most of you are liars and wont admit it. Congrats, at least for your candor.

    You are openly obeying commandment #9 in the 10 Commandments of the Democrat Playbook:

    “9. Always side with America’s enemies against her. Remember, you are both on the same side against American liberty manifested in capitalism. Find a way to present America’s enemies as “victims.” And remember to always describe treason as “patriotism.”
