The support of celebrity tycoon Donald Trump's presidential campaign has reached 32 percent nationwide, according to a poll released Thursday morning.

This made Trump the first Republican candidate to bypass 30 percent and he now leads former neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson by 13 points. The CNN/ORC poll found Trump has almost tripled his support since launching his campaign in June.

Carson landed in second place at 19 percent — at 10-point jump in support. No other candidate polled in double digits, according to the new poll.

The poll was conducted among 1,012 Americans, 474 of whom were registered voters who self-identified as Republicans or Republican-leaning independents, from Sept 4 to 8. The margin of error among Republican voters was plus or minus 4.5 percent.

2. If he can get the GOP nomination (very possible) it's also possible that he could

win the general election--and that is scary.

This country IS that stupid ...

I want him nowhere near the nomination.

4. I agree

Though I wonder if he's a total loss compared to the Bush's and Walker's of the world. Bush is bringing his retread PNAC buddies with him. Walker is a Koch puppet.
