Trump rated almost caught up with Clinton

One of the Republican candidates, Donald Trump, was almost as popular as Hillary Clinton, the most likely Democratic candidate. This is evidenced by findings a survey conducted by CNN in conjunction with research agency ORC International. According to him, Clinton has 51%, Trump has 46%.

As can be seen, over the past two months, the rating of Donald Trump has grown by ten positions. In addition, building tycoon Donald Trump with a clear advantage leads among the many Republican presidential candidates.

According to a CNN / ORC survey, Trump enjoys 24’s percent of registered Republican voters across the country, well ahead of his closest rival, Florida’s ex-governor Jeb Bush, son and brother of two former US presidents, who won 13 percent.

None of the remaining 15 Republican candidates scored more than ten percent. Former neurosurgeon Ben Carson received nine percent, Florida Senator Marco Rubio and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker eight percent each, and the rest of their competitors are even smaller.

The poll, which was attended by 1000 voters, was conducted in the last few days, a week after the Republican debate. Compared with a survey conducted in July, 69-year-old Trump ranked ahead by six percent.

A straightforward billionaire can boast of an increase in the approval rating among Republicans: now 58 is positively assessed by the percent of respondents, and a month ago - only 50 percent. According to the survey, the Republicans are impressed by his position on the development of the American economy, tightening immigration policies and the fight against the "Islamic state" in the Middle East.

Other polls show that Trump leads the way in the first two states, where in February next year there will be a primary election of the Republican candidate: Iowa and New Hampshire. However, the tycoon’s rivals note that there are still more than five months left before the vote, and in the past, candidates who showed good results in the polls often lost the support of the population at the time when the time came to vote.

So, in 2008, the former mayor of New York, Rudy Giuliani, who ran for the US presidency from the Republican Party, had an 29 percent rating. He was seven percent ahead of his rival Fred Thompson. However, after five months, on January 29 2008, on the important primaries in the state of Florida, he took only the third place, after which he announced the termination of participation in the election campaign and supported John McCain.

A sharp gap between the candidates from the Republican Party also happened during the election campaign in 2012. Former Texas Governor Rick Perry and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney were at the top of the polls. Although Romney was slightly higher in polls in early August, Perry surpassed him by 30 percent due to republican support. The Perry campaign failed after a sad moment when a candidate forgot the name of the federal agency during the debate, which he wanted to abolish when he became president.

After such a failure of the opponent, Romney won the primaries and became the only candidate from the Republicans in the presidential election.
