I guess everyone is sick of politicians as usual. Trump, Sanders, and Carson are the only three candidates that offer anything different from the same "republicrat" politics since Reagan.

The modern politician seeks personal wealth and power at the expense of those they are charged with protecting (See Clinton, Obama, Harkin, Gore, Gingrich, Boehner, McConnel).

It seems that everyone is sick of the status quo. Elect Hillary and we might as well be giving Obama another term. Trump is not the perfect candidate but he might be just what America needs to get back on the highway and off this bumpy dead end dirt road we have been on.

No. I'm not "progressive left" I am more complicated then your label that you trot out to try and insult others. Surprise!

And I gave en example of push polling that the polling company had used in the past.

They are well known for nonsense. Badly enough that they changed their name.

Ahh reason # 583,279,192 why some people should read their own link prior to posting....

Well, this poll only covered registered Republicans (not even lean-Republicans, who are typically included in reputable polls), so no Independents or Democrats whatsoever included in it.

In that limited universe, I am not particularly surprised by the results. I mean, think of minority Republicans like Allan West, Herman Cain, Geraldo Rivera, Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sewell, Alan Keyes, Larry Elders and so on. I don't think they'd have an issue voting for someone like Mr. Trump. Minorities are a wicked tiny segment of the registered Republicans and those folks stayed in the party notwithstanding its usual racial rhetorics, so I am not sure what the relevance of this poll is.

Says nothing about the general election, of course. Good luck with that.

Yet, Carson still beats Hilary by the most gap in the selected polling. With Ted Cruz beating her too by more than the margin of error.

Another example of why listing percentages without the raw numbers is meaningless.

Notice how the OP ran away from his own thread once I pointed that out.

This is a repeat of a post both here, and in the elections tab. And its still not based on reality.
Polls are about worthless. One day a poll says the majority of Americans view Hilary as untrustworthy, and the next poll she's the most admired person in the world.

Eric Cantor would still be in Congress, if the polling was correct. Happening in quite a few elections lately.
