If Donald Trump's comments about Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly are hurting his standing in the Republican primary, it's not showing in the numbers. According to the latest NBC News Online Poll conducted by SurveyMonkey, Trump is at the top of the list of GOP candidates that Republican primary voters would cast a ballot for if the primary were being held right now.
The overnight poll was conducted for 24 hours from Friday evening into Saturday. During that period, Donald Trump stayed in the headlines due to his negative comments about Kelly and was dis-invited from a major conservative gathering in Atlanta. None of that stopped Trump from coming in at the top of the poll with 23 percent. Sen. Ted Cruz was next on the list with 13 percent.

Other than demonstrating the current level of self-destructive insanity within the GOP talib section, it's funny.
The poll, as per its methodology, is aptly named.
Anyone who believes the results are accurate or reflective of Republican primary voting intentions deserves to be called a monkey.
Interesting results. Perhaps it's an indication the Media's ability to control the messaging, and it's ability to ignore the issues to try and take down candidates is running out of steam and credibility.

Not to mention extremely great news. Imagine it - in the span of just 48 hours, Trump can (1) alienate pretty much the entire GOP establishment, (2)throw out the prospect of a third party run, (3) say almost anything no matter how crude, piggish or offensive, (4)still be the front runner without any damage. and (5) cause lots of those on the right to turn against FOX News.
If a progressive had written this as a script - it would have been dismissed as liberal fantasy that never would have a chance of happening.

Sort of feel bad for the rational Republicans out there. 2016 elections are lost before campaigns even begin.
So what do you think are the prospects for these two things happening before next summer
1- the GOP establishment gets the candidate they want from this list - Bush, Walker, Rubio, Kasich, Fiorina, or some other acceptable conservative
2 - Trump loses out and decides NOT to go third party
Still early but its still a post-debate poll, and so it deserves some scrutiny, imo.
Interesting SoCON spin...
IF the bad ol' Media is attempting to control the message ummmm why did they announce the poll results showing they are in fact NOT controlling it???? :doh
Looks more like the highly disaffected SoCONs, who trace their lineage back to St. Reagan's Dixiecrats, will cling to whomever is seen as not old school, mainline 'establishment' Grand Ol' Party. A perverse remake of the hippy movement of my salad days....
So-called 'populous' candidates are far more likely to pander to those who feel shut out of mainstream politics, be it the Grange/Populist Movement or the disaffected Southern CONs fleeing to the Party of Lincoln as the Democrats turned more to social equality issues.
I'm glad 'the donald' is staying the course. The Disaffected in the CON movements need a voice, and the Dems need it to be as asinine as possible. I'm sure once the donald crashes and burns the TP, SoCONs and other fringies will return to the fold, a bit more bitter and jaded, but where else would they go? Wander 40 years in the Wilderness? Hardly, this is the microwave, instant gratification age. Well, that and many don't have 40 years left to wander anywhere....eace
Yup.
I'm not too proud to say that when Trump announced I said if the GOP was/were(?) smart they'd appropriate his theme.
Some did (and if you look at this poll result you'll see who) but now it'd be too obvious of, say, Bush tried it.
