tax cuts means everybody that earns income keeps more of their own money......socialists believe is their right to take other people's income and earnings to have a big welfare state of free stuff.

and if you don't believe in a strong defense in a world where people want to kill us and destroy our country then join the Sanders campaign and stick your head in the sand.

In the most recent CNN/ORC report, they included the category of "Never heard of" when asking about candidate favorability. Here's some numbers:

Carson scored 28% in "Never heard of"
Fiorina scored 30%
Rubio 27 & Cruz 24
Kasich scored highest at 39% with Walker close behind at 35%

In the single digit category, only two made it, Trump (1%) and Bush (7%)

How many voters will go to the polls never having heard of many of the candidates?

Post-Debate Poll: Trump Increases Lead; Fiorina Leaps, Carson Sinks

Guess it depends on whose poll one reads.

Trump slips, Fiorina climbs in post-debate poll

I think FiveThirtyEight should be given more weight than others as they have almost a 100% accuracy rate regarding elections in the US.

5 states allow undocumented college students to recieve state financial aid, California, Minn, NM, Texas and WA.

Illegals take nothing.

US people and businesses, mostly small business, have been hiring undocumented workers for 100 years. If the consequences for hiring undocumented workers were severe enough, serious millions would self deport. So long as they continue to be employed, most will stay put. It really is that simple.

It's a mixed bag of opinions from so called constitutional experts regarding birth right citizenship which crosses political lines. Perhaps as important, is the legacy precedent for birth right citizenship in the US.

Trump has conceded it may be necessery for birth right citizenship to be decided by SCOTUS. I think he's right.
Undocumented immigrant IS an illegal alien. Period. The only thing "we" owe their kind is 3 hots, a cot and a 1 way ride OUT of the US.

I'd ask when that poll was taken because for the last couple of days - all Carly's skeletons have come back to haunt her and it just isn't Faux News addressing this. I think if they took that poll today - you'd see Carly's jump is failing miserably.

Oh yeah, Republicans are for law and order, and the Constitution, unless it's a law they don't like.

So why have they never stopped relitigating Roe vs. Wade for the last 42 years?

And marriage equality? See Huckabee and Cruz trying to grandstand over Kim Davis?

Puh-leez.

Thanks for the updated poll link.
Some relevant comments in there from Rubio at the end.

Trump on new CNN poll: "I am a little surprised." (we aren't don don).

The CNN/ORC poll was conducted September 17-19 and surveyed 1,006 adult Americans, including 924 registered voters -- 444 of whom are Republicans and independents who lean toward the GOP. The margin of error with the Republican results is plus or minus 4.5 percentage points.

Please include the above - and I'd like to know who are the 78 supposed voters polled who aren't registered and may never register.

The polls are only right when a Trump is rising right?
