"Real estate billionaire Donald Trump's
recent showing in national polls looks less like a fluke with each
passing day, and numbers from Friday's YouGov.Economist poll has him
leading the pack with support from 28 per cent of Republican primary
voters.
The
survey, which is based on Internet interviews, ranked Trump twice at
high as second-place finisher Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor who
leads in the fundraising sweepstakes but will fall far short of
competing with Trump's $10 billion personal wealth.
Bush
is the first choice of 14 per cent of Republicans in the poll;
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is close behind him at 13 per cent.
Trump's
unconventional media-driven campaign continues to gather steam despite
widespread condemnation following his claim last Saturday that Vietnam
War POW and current Arizona senator John McCain was not 'a war hero.'
More military veterans in YouGov's sample of voters, in fact, said they have a favorable view of Trump than of McCain.
Trumps
approve/disapprove numbers among vets are 53-42; McCain is 'under
water' at 41-49, suggesting that nearly half of veterans may be
displeased with his handling of America's crumbling veterans affairs
infrastructure during his decades in Congress.
'Veterans are divided on whether Trump owes McCain an apology,' YouGov reported.
