Because Republican voters are fed up with their own party.

Did you miss the part where he is now the top second choice, too?

It's in the poll itself. Scroll all the way down. It's toward the end of the poll.

I take this back. I don't see it in the CNN poll in July or August.

No. All I am saying is that he is not moving up in the polls when you look at them all. He is range bound and, I believe, will stay that way. Eventually the mainstream candidates (which means Bush) will overtake him. Whoever wins will need 40% or better most likely or its a brokered convention. That will be fun.

Great news, I am hoping that Mr. Trump would win the GOP nomination, or get snubbed by the establishment after leading in the primaries and caucuses.

There's a pretty good chance of that. He won't go down quietly.

Hmm...where is Spartacus to gloat with talk of "death blows?" He seemed so smug 2 weeks ago. Let me guess, none of these polls meet his lofty criteria I'd imagine.
