Trump No. 1 in NBC poll after GOP debate, increases lead

A brand-new scientific poll taken in the wake of Thursday’s Republican debates and Donald Trump’s war of words with Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly shows the billionaire developer increasing his lead at the top position, with GOP establishment candidates such as Jeb Bush and Chris Christie in a downward spiral.

The NBC News Online Survey was conducted online by SurveyMonkey from August 7-8, 2015 among a national sample of 3,551 adults aged 18 and over. The overnight poll was conducted for 24 hours from Friday evening into Saturday.

Trump ranked at No. 1, scoring 23 percent support, a gain of 1 percentage point from NBC’s previous poll.

Trump continues to remain unbothered even with all the negative press. When will your fave?

Good for him, but there's an election thread already.

For now, but I can see his numbers dwindling in a week or so. The negative press is just too much that I don't think even he can wade.

Lovely!

Like Hillary, Trump eats controversy for breakfast. I can see him surviving this negative backlash

Early polls are hardly ever accurate. By next year there is a chance he might fall unless he does something that makes people more interested.

Megan Kelly got what she came for. She shouldnt be upset now. Same goes for Fox News and the GOP.

Carly Fiorina jumping to top five

But put it in the book, honey.

I don't see why this would have to go in the election thread. Every Gaga doing something for AHS isn't in the AHS thread. Everything Azealia tweets doesn't go into one collective thread.

I'm happy Trump is in the lead, easier for Hillary to win

This is worrying.

I think he needs to show he is serious and his numbers will increase. That requires discipline.

It would go in the election thread because it's an election poll. Its not as if he just stepped out for coffee. It's election news.

Jeb Bush - 7 percent (down 3 points)
Scott Walker - 7 percent (down 3 points)

Again, not everything Gaga does that's AHS related is put in the AHS thread. Not every tweet Azealia makes it put into a collective thread. Celebrities get their own thread just for being shirtless or looking skinny on that day. This is completely fine on it's own.

America needs major reforms. This is the only guy who sees that. Wake up! Besides, Trump's social views are pretty liberal soooo what you gays waiting for?

Nate Silver seems to think Trump will struggle to win the Republican nomination as the GOP don't really think he can be relied upon to enact the Republican agenda if he was elected. I think that Trump will probably end up running as an independent, when the GOP give their nomination to someone else.
