Celebrity tycoon Donald Trump led Bloomberg’s poll of Republican voters released Thursday while his fellow anti-establishment presidential candidates saw double-digit gains in support.
Trump polled at 21 percent among registered Republican and Republican-leaning voters, which is unchanged from the Bloomberg poll in August.
Retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson’s support jumped 11 points to 16 percent in this poll while former technology executive Carly Fiorina saw a 10-point jump to 11 percent.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush saw a modest increase of support to 13 percent.
The poll was conducted among 391 registered Republican voters and Republican-leaning voters from Sept. 18 to 21 by landline and cell phone. The margin of error was plus or minus 5 points.
When we’re still in the very low double digits, doesn’t a 5 point margin of error indicated that the poll is basically junk?
So given the choice of over a dozen governors, senators and congressmen, the overwhelming choice of even Republican voters is 3 people who have a total elected office experience of zero.
