New polling tells GOP what it doesn’t want to hear - By Steve Benen
It’s certainly possible that, one day soon, the Donald Trump balloon will burst and the race for the Republican nomination will return to something resembling normalcy.
But today is not that day. Public Policy Polling released new survey results this morning out of New Hampshire, the nation’s first primary state.
1. Donald Trump: 35%
2. John Kasich: 11%
3. Carly Fiorina: 10%
4. Jeb Bush: 7%
4. Scott Walker: 7%
6. Ben Carson: 6%
-snip-
Also this morning, a new Monmouth poll is out, showing the Republicans’ standing in South Carolina, the nation’s second primary state. Maybe it will offer better news for the GOP establishment waiting for Trump Mania to end? Maybe not.
1. Donald Trump: 30%
2. Ben Carson: 15%
3. Jeb Bush: 9%
4. Marco Rubio: 6%
4. Carly Fiorina: 6%
6. Ted Cruz: 5%
-snip-
What’s especially striking about Trump’s support is how broad it is: he leads among South Carolina Republicans who describe themselves as “very conservative,” “somewhat conservative,” and “moderate to liberal.” Despite his general secularism, the New York real-estate developer also leads among evangelical Christians, picking up 33% of their support.
As we discussed yesterday, this isn’t supposed to last, and it may not. But at least for now, there are a whole lot of Republican insiders feeling awfully nervous about the state of the GOP race.

is like watching an overcrowded monkey house where all the monkeys have been ram-fed full of meth and Red Bull while being given access to unimited numbers of loaded Uzis and crates of grenades.
even before he opens his yap to spew toxic bullshit is his freakish resemblance to this guy - right down to the unevenly offset eyes. It's sort of spooky, actually
