Trump hailed his poll position in an early morning tweet Tuesday: “The just released Public Policy Polling (PPP – national result) is the best yet”.
According to the survey, only 16 percent of Republicans agreed with President Obama on universal healthcare. Donald Trump was in first place with 29 percent, followed by Ben Carson at 15 percent, with no other candidate attracting double-digit support.
The majority of Donald Trump’s supporters believe that President Barack Obama was not born within the United States, according to a new survey from Public Policy Polling. What’s more, “61% think Obama was not born in the United States to only 21% who accept that he was”.
In fact, Republicans are more likely to think Ted Cruz was born in the USA than Obama, even though Ted Cruz actually was born overseas.
Cruz was born in Calgary, Canada, to an American mother and Cuban father.
“So maybe some racist attitudes you previously held, or were not allowed to say in public, nowone of the leading presidential candidates is saying them and not apologizing at all“.
When asked about Social Security, 57 percent of Republican voters agreed that the program should be protected from cuts when Hillary Clinton supported it. A staggering 74 percent of Republicans said they supported Social Security protection behind Trump. The poll also pulled the curtain back on who is supporting Trump at this point in the primary process.
