As Donald Trump dominates the GOP nomination race and some of his inflammatory comments find favor with the party faithful, CBS News measured how the public feels about his “poisoning the blood” language. A striking number of voters agree with this description of immigrants who enter the U.S. illegally, and among Republicans, associating the remarks with Trump himself makes them even likelier to agree.

    Honestly, out of the poll the thing that surprises me the most is that 71% of all participants think Trump will beat Biden if he’s nominated. That’s a huge margin.

      Note that this question (#13) was only asking “likely Republican primary voters.”

      To me, the most disturbing stat was #19, the 50-50 split among all likely voters between valuing “a strong economy” versus “a functioning democracy.”

      Funny how they think Trump has the best chance and the Haley has the worst chance, when the survey itself shows that the opposite is true.

      Turns out beating the “BIDEN WEAK BIDEN WEAK” drum has had results. Our corporate masters must be so pleased.
