While his favorability rating took a hit, a new poll shows that Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s comments about Senator Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) ’s war record are not the silver bullet many in the GOP and media hoped. A YouGov poll taken after Trump’s ill-considered remarks show his support among Republican voters has surged by double digits and well-ahead of Scott Walker and Jeb Bush, his two closest competitors.
During the week of July 4-6, Trump was in first place, with 15% choosing the billionaire businessman over the rest of the field. Bush sat at 11%, which tied with Kentucky Senator
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)
The latest poll was taken between the 18th and 20th. Two of those days occurred after Trump’s McCain comments. Regardless, Trump not only held on to first place, he surged to 28% support. Bush came in second with just 14%. Walker came in third with 13%. Trump is not only in first place, he earns twice the support of second place. The poll also asked registered Republicans to make a second choice pick. Trump earned 10%, Walker 12%, Bush 6%. When you combine the two numbers, Trump sits at a commanding 38%. Walker is his closest competitor with just 25%.
Trump’s comments do appear to have damaged his favorability ratings with Republican voters, which dipped from 64% to 53%. His unfavorable rating climbed from 27% to 42%.
Nevertheless, when Republicans were polled, Trump tied in favorability with McCain himself. Both sit at 57%. Among those veterans currently serving, Trump’s favorability rating beats McCain by 12 full points, 53% to 41%.
The GOP and the media have done everything in their power to destroy Trump. He’s not only gotten strong, but he is becoming a much better candidate.
Trump might have been born rich but he amassed a $10 billion fortune, came back from bankruptcy, and has remained a national brand for 35 years.
Only a snob would underestimate such a man. And now those snobs have cream pie all over their smug faces.
It appears as though Americans don't really give a crap about Trump s**tting on sell out McCain's war record. The spineless lap dogs in the GOP must really be sweating now, they don't know how to beat The Donald. I love it, let the Trump Train roll and rivers of butthurt from the left and the GOP continue.
One of the fun things about the internet is that what gets posted doesn't go away. If it doesn't work out as some people expect for Trump, threads like this will be brought back over and over again for gloating purposes .
Trump is certainly entertaining. The bunch of bland ho-hum "conventional" Pubs running generate as much enthusiasm as a wet dish rag. This is shaping up to be a very fun primary campaign. Of course, the GOP establishment won't allow Trump to win their nomination, so I'd like to see him run as an indy, just to keep things comic.

You sound like a loser. I don't really care what you do. I don't really expect Trump to actually become President, it is just hilarious watching SJWs and cuckservatives spin their wheels and watching the media wet the bed as their normal bullying tactics don't work. Their tears are delicious.

I don't really care about the internet. I'm just saying if you that if you have time to sit around for months bookmarking these threads for your "revenge" I just don't know what to tell you other than it doesn't sound like you have a lot going on with your life. I'm sure you're a big supporter of The Cathedral and the establishment and want someone with no balls and no spine like ¡Yeb! or Hillary. One of those two morons will probably win, but America will lose.
