Trump Widens Lead Over U.S. Republican Presidential Field: Reuters Poll


By Emily Stephenson, Aug 21, 2015 Yahoo News

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican Donald Trump is pulling away from the pack in the race for the party's U.S. presidential nomination, widening his lead over his closest rivals in the past week, a Reuters/Ipsos poll showed on Friday.

Republican voters show no signs they are growing weary of the brash real estate mogul, who has dominated political headlines and the 17-strong Republican presidential field with his tough talk about immigration and insults directed at his political rivals. The candidates are vying to be nominated to represent their party in the November 2016 general election.

Nearly 32 percent of Republicans surveyed online said they backed Trump, up from 24 percent a week earlier, the opinion poll found. Trump had nearly double the support of his closest competitor, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who got 16 percent. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson was third at 8 percent.

  1. People wonder why Trump is increasing his approval among women. Because women like strong men - no matter what they say or how much they pretend the bottom line is they like a man who is a strong leader. As this financial crisis goes, ppl are looking for someone with business savvy. As jobs disappear ppl are looking for someone who is promising jobs - as terrorist abound ppl want someone who will build up the military. We want to be strong again and Trump appears to be the strongest person out there - when you see the others backing off and apologizing for statements made - we do not need that. If you had enough guts to say it have enough guts to stand by it.
