Trump Hits Record Poll High As Americans Back Billionaire After Muslim Ban by sportskid(m): 3:34pm On Dec 16, 2015
The billionaire businessman is aiming to become the next President of the United States

The billionaire businessman who is aiming to become the next President of the United States broke the 40 per cent mark – and rocketed to a record level of support among would-be voters.

The Monmouth University poll is the first insight into how Americans across the country view the controversial Republican candidate after his proposal to ban all Muslims from coming into the country.


Now Donald Trump clashes with Saudi prince in 'ban Muslims' row

Donald Trump's hideous hairpiece leaves home… gets spotted in jungle
According to the results surveying voters identifying as Republican or independents leaning toward the party, Trump’s 41 per cent support was nearly triple that of his closest rival, Texas Senator Ted Cruz, who took 14 per cent.

Mr Trump’s incredible dominance means that he now holds his most commanding national lead yet – with 27 points in the race for the Republican presidential nomination

The revealing poll is not good reading for other candidates in the race, as behind Mr Cruz, Marco Rubio polls at 10 per cent, neurosurgeon Ben Carson slumps to nine per cent, and all other candidate score below five per cent.

Trump stunned the media around the world by declaring the US should ban Muslims from the country

Even Jeb Bush, the previous favourite to be nominated in the race, hit a new low of just three per cent support.

Patrick Murray, director of the polling institute, said: “It has become abundantly clear that Trump is giving his supporters exactly what they want, even if what he says causes the Republican leadership and many Republican voters to cringe.”

Mr Trump himself went to social media to celebrate the poll results.

He posted: "Looks like we just broke another polling ceiling.

"While the establishment schemes to nominate someone they control – the voters are clearly indicating that they want someone who will fix the broken political system in DC. Thank you for your support! We will #‎MakeAmericaGreatAgain!"

Just last week, Trump stunned the media around the world by declaring the US should ban Muslims from the country “until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on".

The remark drew widespread condemnation from lawmakers, including most Republicans.

Mr Trump's rise in support comes as Republican voters revealed that national security and terrorism were their biggest concerns going into the election.

An overwhelming 33 per cent said Mr Trump can best handle terrorism, while 24 per cent chose Mr Cruz and nine per cent picked Mr Rubio

Trump's latest poll numbers defy continued speculation that he has "peaked" in the GOP field.

Since Monmouth University last surveyed Republican voters in mid-October, the outspoken businessman has expanded his lead by 13 percentage points, from 28 percent.

Trump's favourability rating has also seen a nine-point increase in the last two months, reaching an all-time high in the latest poll.

He currently enjoys a net-positive rating of 61-29 percent, while Cruz and Rubio are viewed favorably by 55 percent and 58 percent of GOP voters, respectively.

Despite a large majority – 65 per cent – agreeing that Mr Trump has the temperatment to be president – his support drops among other Republican voters.

A combined 53 per cent of respondents said they would be "dissatisfied" or "upset" if Trump succeeds in becoming their party's nominee.

It's funny how people outside america have been criticizing Trump for his comments like they know what americans really want. Well, I think the poll is an eye opener now. This guy says what core americans wanna hear, issues that are considered sensitive and that other presidential aspirants don't have the balls to say. And that's what gives him the edge.

That gives him the edge in the Republican fields because the right wing crazies dominate the Republican primaries. Most Americans don't support Trump. He's a Circus barker that will never be elected to the Presidency.

No. Trump is a demagogue and a Racist. He doesn't speak for most Americans. He speaks for rabid racists and bigots like the KKK and the David Dukes of the US. His problems are not only Muslims, he dislikes people that look like you and Hispanics. He will not even be the Republican nominee. If he wins the Republican primary, he will be crushed in a landslide in November 2016 by Hillary. I am waiting to pull that lever for Hillary. It amazes me that people that never live or being in America knows about the going ons here. Those Republicans you guys are fawning about don't give a sh_t about people of your hues.

thought u guys said he had already lost the Election because he said he would ban Muslims? cheesy

If there's ONE country that hates Muslims, it's USA. They have suffered a lot in the hands of Islamic Terrorist and would do anything to avoid them.

obviously you don't know how things work in US. Trump hates people of your kind more than he hates Muslims and Arabs. I am one American who is telling you the Racist Circus Barker Trump will never become US President. He's as bigoted as they come.
