Looks like nationally Trump support is through the roof, and this is among registered Republican voters:
POLITICO – Donald Trump has hit his highest level of support yet in a new Washington Post/ABC News poll of registered Republicans out Tuesday: 38 percent.
Despite the widespread blowback over Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims from entering the U.S., GOP voters seem to like it: Trump’s support is up from 32 percent in November. (The poll, it should be noted, has a relatively small Republican sample, with a margin of error on the high side.)
Trump’s support is 2½ times that of his nearest rival, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (15 percent), who rose from 8 percent in last month’s survey. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson fell from 22 percent in November to 12 percent in December after a series of foreign policy gaffes and questions about his past.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is tied with Carson at 12 percent and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has 5 percent. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has 4 percent. All other candidates are at 2 percent or less.
Here’s the lowdown on the poll:
The telephone poll of 1,002 U.S. adults was conducted Dec. 10-13 with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. There were 851 registered voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points and 362 registered Republicans, with a margin of error of plus or minus 6 percentage points.
Wow, I just had two very good Iowa polls and a phenomenal just out National Poll from @ABC @washingtonpost – 38%. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
