Trump Dominating polls, even with RINO plants sabotage him

Fuck poll talk, when does the fat get trimmed (Looking at you Christie) down for the debates? They can't continue these 10+ candidate debates much longer, right?

If they'd just cut to maybe 6, it'd be better.

Trump, Rubio, Bush, Cruz, Paul and Kasich would be the ideal line up, then eventually cut that down to the first three plus whoever stands out between the other three.

 

I would like a 4 front runner line up and let the bottom feeders have the early debate.

Tuesday, November 03, 2015 --- Poll Results here

Washington, D.C. - In our first poll data since the CNBC Republican Debate on October 28, Donald Trump has reclaimed sole leadership of the Republican contest among Republicans with 31% of the vote. Ben Carson, who had pulled into a tie with Trump pre-debate, has fallen back to 18% of Republicans. Marco Rubio has pulled into a tie for 3rd at 10% (with Jeb Bush). Among Republicans, Trump (22%), Rubio (15%), Carson (13%) and Ted Cruz (12%) are seen as having done the best job in the debate.

Topline results are available for download on the right side of the page.

These are findings from an Ipsos poll conducted October 28 – November 2, 2015 on behalf Thomson Reuters. For the survey, a sample of 1,848 adults age 18+ from the continental U.S., Alaska and Hawaii was interviewed online in English. The sample included 1,551 Americans that watched the Republican debate, 764 Democrats, 666 Democrats that watched the debate, 635 Republicans, 592 Republicans that watched the debate, 258 Independents, and 210 Independents that watched the debate.

The sample for this study was randomly drawn from Ipsos’s online panel (see link below for more info on “Access Panels and Recruitment”), partner online panel sources, and “river” sampling (see link below for more info on the Ipsos “Ampario Overview” sample method) and does not rely on a population frame in the traditional sense. Ipsos uses fixed sample targets, unique to each study, in drawing sample. After a sample has been obtained from the Ipsos panel, Ipsos calibrates respondent characteristics to be representative of the U.S. Population using standard procedures such as raking-ratio adjustments. The source of these population targets is U.S. Census 2015 American Community Survey data. The sample drawn for this study reflects fixed sample targets on demographics. Post-hoc weights were made to the population characteristics on gender, age, region, race/ethnicity and income.

Statistical margins of error are not applicable to online polls. All sample surveys and polls may be subject to other sources of error, including, but not limited to coverage error and measurement error. Where figures do not sum to 100, this is due to the effects of rounding. The precision of Ipsos online polls is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the poll has a credibility interval of plus or minus 2.6 percentage points for all respondents (see link below for more info on Ipsos online polling “Credibility Intervals”). Ipsos calculates a design effect (DEFF) for each study based on the variation of the weights, following the formula of Kish (1965). This study had a credibility interval adjusted for design effect of the following (n=1,848, DEFF=1.5, adjusted Confidence Interval=4.1).

The poll also has a credibility interval of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points for all respondents that watched the debate, plus or minus 4.0 percentage points for all Democrats, plus or minus 4.3 percentage points for Democrats that watched the debate, plus or minus 4.4 percentage points for Republicans, plus or minus 4.6 percentage points for Republicans that watched the debate, plus or minus 7.0 percentage points for Independents, and plus or minus 7.7 percentage points for Independents that watched the debate (see link below for more info on Ipsos online polling “Credibility Intervals”).

Looks like you got your wish. Fox Business is relegating Huckabee and Christie to the kiddie table for the next GOP debate.

 

Listening to Christie right this moment, talk at a rally about drug addiction.
Many things to do in this area, but Christie is just tugging one heart string after another. A totally emotional plea to be heard.
Dang! I hate to hear that sort tactic, I changed the channel.

 

Why would the media cover it? Sanders can't beat Hillary so it's moot. MSM has already made Hillary the dem candidate.

 

Trump releases new Policy details on China Reform.

REFORMING THE U.S.-CHINA TRADE RELATIONSHIP TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

How We Got Here: Washington Politicians Let China Off The Hook

In January 2000, President Bill Clinton boldly promised China’s inclusion in the World Trade Organization (WTO) “is a good deal for America. Our products will gain better access to China’s market, and every sector from agriculture, to telecommunications, to automobiles. But China gains no new market access to the United States.” None of what President Clinton promised came true. Since China joined the WTO, Americans have witnessed the closure of more than 50,000 factories and the loss of tens of millions of jobs. It was not a good deal for America then and it’s a bad deal now. It is a typical example of how politicians in Washington have failed our country.

The most important component of our China policy is leadership and strength at the negotiating table. We have been too afraid to protect and advance American interests and to challenge China to live up to its obligations. We need smart negotiators who will serve the interests of American workers – not Wall Street insiders that want to move U.S. manufacturing and investment offshore.

The Goal Of The Trump Plan: Fighting For American Businesses And Workers

America has always been a trading nation. Under the Trump administration trade will flourish. However, for free trade to bring prosperity to America, it must also be fair trade. Our goal is not protectionism but accountability. America fully opened its markets to China but China has not reciprocated. Its Great Wall of Protectionism uses unlawful tariff and non-tariff barriers to keep American companies out of China and to tilt the playing field in their favor.

If you give American workers a level playing field, they will win. At its heart, this plan is a negotiating strategy to bring fairness to our trade with China. The results will be huge for American businesses and workers. Jobs and factories will stop moving offshore and instead stay here at home. The economy will boom. The steps outlined in this plan will make that a reality.

When Donald J. Trump is president, China will be on notice that America is back in the global leadership business and that their days of currency manipulation and cheating are over. We will cut a better deal with China that helps American businesses and workers compete.

The Trump Plan Will Achieve The Following Goals:

1. Bring China to the bargaining table by immediately declaring it a currency manipulator.


2. Protect American ingenuity and investment by forcing China to uphold intellectual property laws and stop their unfair and unlawful practice of forcing U.S. companies to share proprietary technology with Chinese competitors as a condition of entry to China’s market.

3. Reclaim millions of American jobs and reviving American manufacturing by putting an end to China’s illegal export subsidies and lax labor and environmental standards. No more sweatshops or pollution havens stealing jobs from American workers.

4. Strengthen our negotiating position by lowering our corporate tax rate to keep American companies and jobs here at home, attacking our debt and deficit so China cannot use financial blackmail against us, and bolstering the U.S. military presence in the East and South China Seas to discourage Chinese adventurism.

Details of Donald J. Trump’s US China Trade Plan:

Declare China A Currency Manipulator

We need a president who will not succumb to the financial blackmail of a Communist dictatorship. President Obama’s Treasury Department has repeatedly refused to brand China a currency manipulator – a move that would force China to stop these unfair practices or face tough countervailing duties that level the playing field.

Economists estimate the Chinese yuan is undervalued by anywhere from 15% to 40%. This grossly undervalued yuan gives Chinese exporters a huge advantage while imposing the equivalent of a heavy tariff on U.S. exports to China. Such currency manipulation, in concert with China’s other unfair practices, has resulted in chronic U.S. trade deficits, a severe weakening of the U.S. manufacturing base and the loss of tens of millions of American jobs.

In a system of truly free trade and floating exchange rates like a Trump administration would support, America's massive trade deficit with China would not persist. On day one of the Trump administration the U.S. Treasury Department will designate China as a currency manipulator. This will begin a process that imposes appropriate countervailing duties on artificially cheap Chinese products, defends U.S. manufacturers and workers, and revitalizes job growth in America. We must stand up to China’s blackmail and reject corporate America’s manipulation of our politicians. The U.S. Treasury’s designation of China as a currency manipulator will force China to the negotiating table and open the door to a fair – and far better – trading relationship.

End China’s Intellectual Property Violations

China’s ongoing theft of intellectual property may be the greatest transfer of wealth in history. This theft costs the U.S. over $300 billion and millions of jobs each year. China’s government ignores this rampant cybercrime and, in other cases, actively encourages or even sponsors it – without any real consequences. China’s cyber lawlessness threatens our prosperity, privacy and national security. We will enforce stronger protections against Chinese hackers and counterfeit goods and our responses to Chinese theft will be swift, robust, and unequivocal.


The Chinese government also forces American companies like Boeing, GE, and Intel to transfer proprietary technologies to Chinese competitors as a condition of entry into the Chinese market. Such de facto intellectual property theft represents a brazen violation of WTO and international rules. China’s forced technology transfer policy is absolutely ridiculous. Going forward, we will adopt a zero tolerance policy on intellectual property theft and forced technology transfer. If China wants to trade with America, they must agree to stop stealing and to play by the rules.

Eliminate China’s Illegal Export Subsidies And Other Unfair Advantages

Chinese manufacturers and other exporters receive numerous illegal export subsidies from the Chinese government. These include - in direct contradiction to WTO rules - free or nearly free rent, utilities, raw materials, and many other services. China’s state-run banks routinely extend loans these enterprises at below market rates or without the expectation they will be repaid. China even offers them illegal tax breaks or rebates as well as cash bonuses to stimulate exports.

China’s illegal export subsidies intentionally distorts international trade and damages other countries’ exports by giving Chinese companies an unfair advantage. From textile and steel mills in the Carolinas to the Gulf Coast’s shrimp and fish industries to the Midwest manufacturing belt and California’s agribusiness, China’s disregard for WTO rules hurt every corner of America.

The U.S. Trade Representative recently filed yet another complaint with the WTO accusing China of cheating on our trade agreements by subsidizing its exports. The Trump administration will not wait for an international body to tell us what we already know. To gain negotiating leverage, we will pursue the WTO case and aggressively highlight and expose these subsidies. .

China’s woeful lack of reasonable environmental and labor standards represent yet another form of unacceptable export subsidy. How can American manufacturers, who must meet very high standards, possibly compete with Chinese companies that care nothing about their workers or the environment? We will challenge China to join the 21st Century when it comes to such standards.

The Trump Plan Will Strengthen Our Negotiating Position

As the world’s most important economy and consumer of goods, America must always negotiate trade agreements from strength. Branding China as a currency manipulator and exposing their unfair trade practices is not enough. In order to further strengthen our negotiating leverage the Trump plan will:

1. Lower the corporate tax rate to 15% to unleash American ingenuity here at home and make us more globally competitive. This tax cut puts our rate 10 percentage points below China and 20 points below our current burdensome rate that pushes companies and jobs offshore.

2. Attack our debt and deficit by vigorously eliminating waste, fraud and abuse in the Federal government, ending redundant government programs, and growing the economy to increase tax revenues. Closing the deficit and reducing our debt will mean China cannot blackmail us with our own Treasury bonds.


3. Strengthen the U.S. military and deploying it appropriately in the East and South China Seas. These actions will discourage Chinese adventurism that imperils American interests in Asia and shows our strength as we begin renegotiating our trading relationship with China. A strong military presence will be a clear signal to China and other nations in Asia and around the world that America is back in the global leadership business.

 

Here’s How the GOP Race Looks Now
The outsiders are still leading the pack in Rasmussen Reports’ latest look at the Republican presidential primary race following Tuesday night’s debate.

Our latest national telephone survey of Likely Republican Primary Voters shows Donald Trump with 27% support. Twenty percent (20%) say they would vote for Dr. Ben Carson if the GOP presidential primary were held in their state today.

Senator Marco Rubio of Florida picks up 16% of the vote, while 13% prefer Senator Ted Cruz of Texas. Eight percent (8%) say they would vote for former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, while support for ex-Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina has fallen back to four percent (4%). Seven percent (7%) say they would choose one of the other candidates in the race. Five percent (5%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Trump took the lead after the first debate in early August with 17% of the GOP vote, followed by Bush and Rubio each at 10%.Then it was Fiorina and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker with nine percent (9%) support each, followed by Cruz at seven percent (7%). Walker has since dropped out of the race.

Carson gained ground in surveys following the second and third debates. The latest survey shows Rubio and Cruz as the beneficiaries of strong performances at this week’s debate.

Most Republican voters still see Trump as their party’s likely presidential nominee in our weekly Trump Change survey. Those numbers will be updated again at 10:30 a.m. Eastern today.

(Want a free daily e-mail update? If it's in the news, it's in our polls). Rasmussen Reports updates are also available on Twitter or Facebook.

The national telephone survey of 672 Likely Republican Primary Voters was conducted by Rasmussen Reports on November 11-12, 2015. The margin of sampling error for the survey is +/- 4 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Fieldwork for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

The Republican candidates have a strong military difference of opinion.

Trump leads among conservative Republicans who are the key to success in the party’s upcoming state primaries, but he holds just a narrow 25% to 21% edge on Carson. Rubio and Cruz tally 19% and 18% respectively among these voters.

Among all GOP voters, men and women are in general agreement, although women don’t have quite as much enthusiasm for Cruz.

The younger the Republican, the more likely he or she is to choose Trump.

Just 56% of all Republicans think their party has a plan for the future. The early success of candidates like Trump and Carson who are outside the GOP establishment is seen as a reflection of the unhappiness the party’s voters have with business as usual.

Democrats hold their second debate tomorrow night, and Rasmussen Reports will release new numbers on that race early next week. But front-runner Hillary Clinton is expected to emerge unscathed.

Amazing News for Donald Trump Just Announced – This Is HUGE!


Conservative billionaire Donald Trump has been sounding the alarm on the amnesty crisis President Obama has created. He is why the issue of illegal aliens have been front-and-center of every debate.

Now, a new poll from YouGov verifies that GOP primary voters are paying attention, and they overwhelmingly agree: They trust Donald Trump on immigration more than any other candidate running for president.

Considering how pro-amnesty the political establishment is, this is a political earthquake! American voters are clearly fed up with an unprotected Southern border, and almost half (49%) believe Trump has the right ideas to solve this ongoing problem!

That’s an even bigger deal when you realize that no other candidate received more than 11% support. Compared to Trump, they are almost invisible.

In addition, while his opponents have attacked him and the media has smeared him, his approval has only increased. That 49% rating is 14% higher than it was at the end of the Summer.

The poll was especially bad for former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who seems to be tanking in EVERY poll:

Half of Republicans view Trump as the candidate who can best handle immigration, more than four times the percentage who name Florida Senator Marco Rubio, the son of immigrants, who is in second place, far behind Trump. Only 5% believe former Florida Governor Jeb Bush would do the best job on immigration.

In addition, Americans overall disagree with both of these statements.

Republicans are far more likely than the rest of the public to view illegal immigration as a very serious problem for the country (70% of Republicans say it is, compared with 46% overall). And many also believe illegal immigrants are more likely than others to commit violent crimes (49% of Republicans versus 29% overall). 57% of Republicans believe immigration from Mexico has a negative impact on the U.S. economy; 37% of all adults do.

If you couldn’t picture just how much more GOP voters agree with Trump than any other candidate when it comes to the issue of illegal immigration, this chart summarizes it. Incredible!

Hey you guys remember when Paul tried to make a mic drop moment when he said "Let's remind trump that China is not part of the TPP deal?"

Well, Paul got his ass handed to him right here. LOL

 

Dominating Florida

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box...florida?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Trump leads Carson by 20 in Florida
Donald Trump has a two-to-one lead over Ben Carson among GOP primary voters in Florida, according to a new poll.

Trump takes 37 percent support to Carson’s 17 percent in the Bay News 9/News 13 Florida Decides survey.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is a close third, trailing Carson 1 point with 16 percent.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) then takes 10 percent, while former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-Fla.) places fifth with 7 percent.

No other Republican White House hopeful earns above 3 percent.

Tuesday’s poll comes as Carson and Trump are locked in a fierce struggle for the GOP’s 2016 presidential nomination nationwide. Trump has dominated the race all summer, but Carson has gradually gained on the outspoken billionaire.

The retired neurosurgeon is now just over 1 point behind Trump, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average of samplings. Trump earns 25.3 percent voter support, edging out Carson’s 24 percent.

Carson, however, is beginning to tie or even surpass the real estate tycoon in some national polls.

A Wall Street Journal/NBC News survey released Monday, for example, has Carson besting Trump, 29 percent to 23 percent, among GOP primary voters.

Trump has responded by slowly intensifying his attacks on Carson despite the pair’s warm relationship on the campaign trail.

“It’s not his thing,” he said Tuesday on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” adding that Carson doesn't have the "temperament" for the presidency.

“I think that Ben doesn’t have the experience,” Trump added.

Bay News 9 and News 13 had SurveyUSA conduct its latest poll of 922 likely GOP primary voters in Florida Oct. 28-Nov. 1 via both home telephone and online surveys. It has a 3.3 percent margin of error.
