CNN: Trump Maintains Strong Lead in GOP Race

Camerota: ‘He is two times where Jeb Bush is and ahead of Scott Walker, his closest opponent

CAMEROTA: “Once again, we see Donald Trump out front as we did in the Monday poll, by a wide margin. He is two times where Jeb Bush is and ahead of Scott Walker, his closest opponent. What do you think, Dana?”

BASH: “Look, it's amazing. And I think, if we didn't have polls in the first states where they are actually going to the polls and vote, in Iowa and New Hampshire, that are similar to this, you would say, you know what, that's a popularity contest. Of course, he's the guy from ‘The Apprentice,’ everyone knows him, that’s about because it’s a national poll. But it's not because he's doing well in the early states also. Look, it's terrifying for Jeb Bush because for him, spending all of the past six months raising $100 million for his Super Pac is like chump change compared to what Donald Trump can do when he writes a check.”

BERMAN: “And part of Jeb's appeal, the Bush people don't want to admit, is he wants to be the prohibitive front-runner, he wants to be the establishment guy out in front. I think they were expected him out in front. Chris Moody, let me bring you in here. This is going to be tough poll for him, because he's much closer to the pack right now than he is to Donald Trump.”

MOODY: “At first glance the poll looks great for Donald Trump. He’s at about 20 percent among the Republican voters, but you dive into the numbers and it doesn't look so good in the long-term for him. Yes, he's at 20 percent. But also 30 percent of Republicans polled said they would never vote for Donald Trump. Further, if you put Donald Trump against Hillary Clinton, he loses. If you put Donald Trump against Joe Biden, he loses. And against Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump loses. While the other folks in the poll, like Jeb Bush or Scott Walker, come much closer.”
