The survey, conducted by the Democratic firm Public Policy Polling, found Trump garnering only 8 percent of potential Republican primary voters, down from 26 percent who said they would support him if he ran in PPP's previous survey. That plunge in support was enough to drop him from a solid first place to a tie for fifth place.Oh Trump, glad this is happening to you.
As recently as last week, a CNN poll conducted April 29-May 1 found Trump vying for the lead in the Republican primary with 14 percent to Mike Huckabee's 16 percent. So far, Republican primary surveys have shown that no frontrunner has emerged in the race, which means that candidate rankings in those surveys can be particularly volatile.
To add to the woes, Trump's favorable rating among Republicans is deep in negative territory in the new poll. Previous surveys had found that Americans more generally had an unfavorable opinion of Trump, but showed him with at least tepidly supportive ratings among Republicans.
Nearly 60 percent of Americans would never support a Republican presidential bid by former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin or real estate mogul and reality TV star Donald Trump, according to a new poll Wednesday.This is music to my ears. I hope this catches on and push this 2 idiots out of the game.
But the Quinnipiac University poll of 1,408 voters found that about half would consider or be enthusiastic about backing former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney or former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee in the November 2012 election.
"It is difficult to get a handle on the 2012 Republican race. Many contenders are not well known and many who are known are not liked," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
"Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee are in the best shape. Sarah Palin and Donald Trump suffer from the reality that, as our mothers told us, 'You never get a second chance to make a first impression,'" he said.
A spokeswoman for the network’s entertainment division, Rebecca Marks, said “Nothing’s changed,” when asked about the future of the program. She declined to elaborate.Well, we will see if this bastard runs.
Trump said in an interview with Bloomberg News on May 1 that he had decided “in my mind” to run for president, but wouldn’t make an official announcement before the season finale of his reality television show later this month.
“In my mind, I have already decided,” Trump, 64, said in the telephone interview. “I am going to announce. But I can’t do anything until the show ends.”
The distinction between a decision to run and a formal announcement isn’t relevant under election law, said Paul S. Ryan, an attorney at the Campaign Legal Center.
“When you’ve decided to run for office, and you’ve accepted or spent more than $5,000, you’re a candidate,” Ryan said. He said Trump’s travels to Iowa and New Hampshire suggest he’s spent some money on exploring a candidacy.
Trump spokeswoman Rhona Graff didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
"Donald Trump is exposing himself to a lot of attacks. As much as I like Donald, he's sort of asking for it."I guess this billionaire don't want a faux Billionaire to hog in on his territory.
"Donald's political positions over the last 10 years have been highly variable and unusual. He's a wonderful guy, but I don't think he should run for office.
...
"At some point I think he's going to drop out of the race when he realizes that he's really not qualified to be President."
We're not going to be able to solve our problems if we get distracted by sideshows and carnival barkers," Obama said.Yes, it's true that folks believed he was born in a different galaxy. But let's look at those people. Let's look at those idiots and fools who uses this drama to mask their racist and ignorant views. These people want to believe he's not one of us, because they can't handle the truth.
Obama did not specifically mention Donald Trump, but the prospective Republican presidential candidate and other critics have questioned whether Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on Aug. 4, 1961, and is therefore eligible for the presidency -- prompting today's extraordinary release.
In brief remarks at the White House, Obama said he knows he won't satisfy all the birthplace critics, but he pointedly added "I'm speaking to the vast majority of the American people."
"We do not have time for this kind of silliness," Obama said.
Obama -- who sent his personal lawyer to Hawaii this week to pick up the records -- also released letters from this month in which he and the lawyer requested copies of his birth certificate.
"The president believed it was becoming a major distraction from the issues we are having in this country," said communications director Dan Pfeiffer, who, like his boss, called the while thing a "fake controversy" and "a sideshow."
GLAAD said that Trump had recently rejected the concept of civil unions and even medical benefits for same-sex partners, and offered this smattering of Trump quotes to support their point:This could take off. I would like to see this work. Call Trump out!
"I'm not in favor of gay marriage. They should not be able to marry."
"I just don't feel good about it. I don't feel right about it. I'm against it… I'm opposed to gay marriage."

The term used by Ms. Collins-“birther”-is very derogatory and is meant in a derogatory way. Had this been George Bush or almost any other President or Presidential aspirant, they would never have been allowed to attain office, or would have been thrown out of office very quickly.
For some reason, the press protects President Obama beyond anything or anyone I have ever seen. What they don't realize is that if he was not born in the United States, they would have uncovered the greatest "scam" in the history of our country. In other words, they would become the hottest writer since Watergate, or beyond.
Open your eyes, Gail, there's at least a good chance that Barack Hussein Obama has made mincemeat out of our great and cherished Constitution!

He's dragging other bits of the party down the birther rabbit-hole with him. For instance, I asked Chris Barron, the trump booster who heads the gay conservative group GOProud, whether he thinks Trump's questions about Obama's birth certificate are legitimate.
"Organizationally it's not a GOProud issue. Not related to any of the organization's legislative priorities," he said, and added when I pressed him on his view, said that it "is that it's not an issue that particularly resonates with me, but it clearly resonates with a large segment of the Republican primary. I think Mr. Trump's position on this has been a pretty common-sense one, and honestly, I can't understand why President Obama wouldn't have released his birth certificate before now to put an end to this once and for all."
It is obviously a slow news day, because there has been quite a bit of attention paid to comments I made to Ben Smith at Politico about Donald Trump and the birth certificate issue. First off, any position I have on this issue is mine and mine alone. I made it clear to Ben repeatedly that GOProud has no position on this issue – this issue has absolutely no relationship to any part of GOProud’s legislative and policy agenda. In the same way GOProud doesn’t opine on state issues because we don’t work on state issues, GOProud isn’t going to opine on an issue like this that is so far afield from our area of work.And he even put up a pic, proving that he's an asshole, oh I mean, an America Asshole.
