A new poll shows Donald Trump still holds a strong lead over his challengers in the 2016 Republican primary field.
The Pew Research Center poll, released Friday, shows Trump with 25% support from likely Republican voters nationwide. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson grabbed 16% support, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina got 8% each and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz garnered 6% support.
Meanwhile, Jeb Bush -- at one time the front-runner in national polls himself -- garnered 4% support.
The poll, conducted between Sept. 22 and Sept. 27, asked possible voters an open-ended question of who they would support for the Republican nomination. Unlike some other surveys, pollsters did not provide a list of names.

(68,868 posts)If you really want an ulcer, consider:
1) his age vs the age of Clinton and Sanders
2) how that affects the "change" messaging in the election
cf. 2008, Obama vs McCain

(1,730 posts)of mine since the outset. It's hard for voters in their 20's and 30's to relate to a presidential candidate who is their grandparent's age. I remember I was elated when Bill Clinton was elected, I could almost relate to him.

(101,306 posts)It could be more 'which candidate do you think of first that you find bearable?' You certainly shouldn't compare the results directly with polls where they list the candidates.
