Donald Trump Surging in Early Polls!!
Why???

Why is Donald Trump surging in early polls?
Trump's name recognition and high visibility may be the reason for his meteoric rise in national and state polls.
It's the early election surprise no one saw coming: in poll after poll, Donald Trump is surging.
The latest, a CNN/ORC national poll out Wednesday, has Mr. Trump in second place among Republicans, behind former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, one of only two Republicans with double-digit support.
The poll echoes similar polls by Fox News, Suffolk University, and Quinnipiac University, all showing Trump in second place either nationally or in select early primary states like New Hampshire and Iowa.
Trump, who has no political experience, entered the race with a hyperbolic, meandering speech at a flashy campaign event at his Trump Tower in Manhattan, that was later found to be populated with actors Trump paid to attend. The controversial speech, in which he bragged about his billions and appeared to suggest Mexican immigrants were drug dealers, rapists, and criminals, certainly caught some voters' attention, if not ire.
In fact, according to some of the same polls cited above, he is the most disliked Republican candidate currently in the race.
So why is Trump topping so many polls? What's driving his success?
