Donald Trump Leads GOP Field in This State

By Alex Swoyer. GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump is the leading choice among North Carolina Republican primary voters in a recent Public Policy Poll. Trump received 16 percent, while former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush received 12 percent.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker came in tied for second with Bush at 12 percent. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee was third with 11 percent. Dr. Ben Carson got 9 percent with Sen. Marco Rubio. Sen. Rand Paul got 7 percent while Se. Sen. Ted Cruz got six percent. Gov. Chris Christie received five percent. Carly Fiorina followed with four percent and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry had two percent.

Sen. Lindsey Graham had one percent, as did Gov. Bobby Jindal, and former Sen. Rick Santorum. Gov. John Kasich and George Pataki were under one percent.

President Obama carried North Carolina in 2008, but Republican nominee Mitt Romney took it back in 2012.

“Trump’s favorability rating in North Carolina is 55/32, much higher than we were finding in national polls prior to his entry into the race. Trump’s really caught fire with voters on the far right- 66% of ‘very conservative’ voters see him favorably to only 24% with a negative view of him. Trump is polling particularly well with younger voters (29%) and men (20%),” Public Policy Poll (PPP) reported. (Read more from “Donald Trump Leads GOP Field in This State” HERE)

In a Wednesday interview with NBC News, the real estate mogul and television personality continued to denounce illegal immigration.

“Don’t try and convince me that there’s no crime, that [immigration] is wonderful,” he said.

In fact, the immigration policy favored by the Democratic frontrunner, Hillary Clinton, he said, would be to “let everybody come in … killers, criminals, drug dealers.” (Read more from this story HERE)
