Real estate mogul Donald Trump continued to lead the Republican presidential field after a dismal performance at the second debate and lagging approval ratings in the Suffolk University/USA Today poll released Wednesday.
Trump led the field at 23 percent of likely voters expecting to vote in the GOP primaries nationwide while retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson and former technology CEO Carly Fiorina were tied at 13 percent. No establishment candidates cracked double digits, but Florida Sen. Marco Rubio came close at 9 percent.
However, 18 percent of the Republican voters surveyed were undecided.
With that in mind, it’s worth noting that Trump also leads the group in lowest favorability rating at 27 percent, while 61 percent of those surveyed view the former reality television star unfavorably.
The survey of 1,000 national voters who are likely to vote in the presidential election was conducted from Sept. 24 to 29 by live phone interview. The overall margin of error was plus or minus 3 points, but among the subset of Republican primary voters (380), the margin of error was plus or minus 5.03 points.
Trump is at 23%, down five points from his high, and the story is that he “dominates his race.”
Hillary is at 35%, stable, and the story is that she’s in trouble.
Trump’s plan? Vague and unspecified.
Every other Republican’s plan? Pass legislation that will hurt people.
I guess the public would prefer the vague and unspecified. Can’t be any worse than what everyone else is proposing.

Sorry. All out of fucks to give.
The three leaders, Trump Carson, and Fiorina all tell the lies the majority of republicans believe and Trump is a white male. No surprise he leads.
The guy with the highest unfavorables at 53% of all candidates leads?! All this can mean is he has the lowest ceiling of all the candidates. I tell you he will be history before the first primary.
