faring better than her against Republicans, poll results revealed Thursday.

Trump, the combative real estate mogul, leads the 16 other Republican candidates with 28 percent support among registered voters nationwide, up from 20 percent in a similar July 30 survey by Quinnipiac University.

Thursday's lead marks the widest margin for any Republican so far in the election cycle, the survey said.

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson placed a distant second with 12 percent, followed by former Florida governor Jeb Bush, Senator Ted Cruz and Senator Marco Rubio, each with seven percent.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker was next with six percent, and Ohio Governor John Kasich and businesswoman Carly Fiorina each registered five percent.

"Other GOP hopefuls seem to disappear. Trump proves you don't have to be loved to be the leader," said Quinnipiac poll assistant director Tim Malloy.

Trump's abrasive style, including his caustic criticism of rivals, has led some observers to say he does not have the temperament to be president, but he has dominated the race essentially since he declared his candidacy in June.

#1 The one thing that Trump has that none of the other candidates, Republican or Democrat, have is the innate understanding of the media, especially the reality based TV media.

This allows him to drive the story and not be driven by the requirements/demands of the MSM.

He also has grabbed on to, like any good populist, the rawest open sores on the body politic to use as the basis for his campaign. Note that these sores are not necessarily the most important or difficult just the sorest. He's talking more about the stubbed toe and bumped shin than about the raging cancer.
