Two New National GOP Polls - Trump Still Has A Big Lead

Posted on the 19 August 2015 by Jobsanger


These charts reflect the results of two new national polls on the race for the Republican presidential nomination. Although their numbers are different, both agree that Donald Trump has a huge lead  -- with Jeb Bush finishing in a poor second, and everybody else struggling to remain relevant (even Walker, Rubio, Paul, and Cruz -- who were all thought to be among the leaders at one time).
The CNN / ORC Poll was done between August 13th and 16th of a random national sample of 456 registered GOP voters (and leaners), and has a margin of error of 4.5 points.
The Morning Consult Poll was done between August 14th and 16th of a random national sample of 783 Republicans (and leaners), and has a margin of error of 3.5 points.
