Good News for Donald Trump in CNN Poll?

In a Poll conducted by CNN, Donald Trump still has a considerable showing with 14% of Republicans showing support. In a Poll with a margin of error of 4.5%, he trailed Mike Huckabee by only 2 points. With Mitt Romney at 13 percent, nobody has really separated themselves as a leader in the field of GOP potential candidates.

Also according to the poll, 64 percent of Americans have a negative view of Trump. Should Donald Trump decide to run and win the GOP nomination, he will have work to change his public perception after playing to his base by questioning Obama’s citizenship and credentials. This calculated move has yielded results in getting support from Republicans. Republicans are looking for a candidate that is willing to challenge and fight Obama. Trump fits the bill.

According to Trump, he is Obama’s worst nightmare:

Trump’s next major move will likely be to make his official announcement to run and then turn to more substantial issues from a conservative position. He will stress the economy, jobs, and foreign trade policy.
He will likely conservatively support more controversial issues by taking the position that it is not a Federal, but issues of State’s rights.

If jobs and the economy continue to falter and Trump can survive the way of media criticism he will no doubt attract, being branded an outsider and not a career politician could benefit him in the general election.

As misguided as many people will consider Trump’s efforts, his success is because he is willing to get in the ring and oppose Obama.

New Poll Shows Huckabee and Romney, Not Trump, leading GOP National Poll

According to this Fox News Poll, Donald Trump only has 8% support among likely GOP voters in a national poll.

If polls like these keep up, Trump may rethink running. If he decides not to run, I speculate he will posture that his media attention was positive for the 2012 election in that he hopes to draw attention to the ailing economy and the huge trade imbalance with China.
