Like many people, I don't think Trump will eventually win the R nomination.

This poll is interesting, but a single poll can't be taken as a harbinger of anything.

I wonder how many avid Trump supporters will argue that there is something wrong with the polling method of this poll.

For as much as I think Trump is a joke of a candidate, I can understand why he garners some support. I can't for the life of me understand Carson's continuing support, though. Every time he opens his mouth something ridiculous falls out.

He's got some odd facial mannerisms (closes his eyes a lot) --- really appears to be some sort of idiot savant....might be an excellent ped neurosurgeon, but president, don't think so.....would like to see him run a state gov't first to show he can.

I'm certainly no Trump supporter but we have to look at a few more polls to see if this is a bona-fide trend or if this one is an outlier. That's why I like to see what Real Clear Politics has to say because they look at all the polls.

I can honestly believe this. Trump's "appeal" seems to be wearing a bit thin these days. Trump is someone who is best taken in small doses.
