Most Republicans think Trump will be Republican nominee: Poll
A majority of American voters who identify with the Republican Party believe that Donald Trump will be their party’s nominee for president of the United States in 2016, according to a new poll.
A Rasmussen poll released Friday found that 57 percent of Republican voters think Trump is “likely” to win the Republican nomination, while 25 percent thought it was “very likely.”
That's up significantly from two months ago, when 27 percent said it was likely the multi-billionaire businessman will be nominated and 9 percent said it was very likely.
Among all likely US voters, 49 percent believe Trump is likely to be the Republican nominee, including 17 percent who say it’s very likely. That compares to 23 percent and seven percent respectively in the survey taken two months ago.
A RealClearPolitics average of polls shows that Trump is leading the other 16 Republican candidates with 22 percent support, followed by former Florida governor Jeb Bush at 10 percent.
Trump’s presidential campaign has been marked by controversial statements, including with disparaging remarks about Mexican immigrants.
The real estate mogul has also begun to close the gap in a potential general election matchup with Hillary Clinton, the Democratic frontrunner, according to a CNN/ORC poll released on Wednesday
The belief that Clinton is likely to be next year's Democratic presidential nominee has dropped noticeably over the past month due to her use of a private email account when she was US secretary of state.
Clinton is facing growing legal questions for using personal email accounts on a non-government, privately maintained email server which some members of Congress say violated government protocols and procedures.
