October 23, 2015Trump Change: More GOP Voters Than Ever Say He’s The Man
Bang! More Republicans than ever think Donald Trump will be their party’s presidential nominee next year.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 74% of Likely Republican Voters believe Trump is likely to end up as the GOP nominee, with 34% who say it is Very Likely. The overall finding is a 16-point jump from a week ago and up eight points from Trump’s previous high among Republicans of 66% in early September. This is also the highest number to date who see a Trump nomination as Very Likely.
