Business Insider: Trump is blowing competition out of the water on 2 most important issues
Posted on | August 18, 2015 | 1 Comment
Donald Trump is not only expanding his lead in the Republican presidential race.
According to a new CNN/ORC poll out Tuesday, the real-estate tycoon has built out a dominating lead on two of the issues most important to Republican voters.
CNN asked respondents, regardless of whom they plan to vote for, which GOP candidate they thought could best handle the economy and illegal immigration.
And the swing of support to Trump’s campaign was incredible.
Economy
A walloping 45% of respondents said Trump was the best candidate to improve the US economy. The next closest contender was Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor, who had a mere 8% say the same about his potential stewardship.
Bush was followed by former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, with 6%, and then by three other candidates with 5%: Gov. John Kasich of Ohio, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, and Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin.
Trump’s position is even more dominating if it’s compared with his support on the issue at the end of June, when CNN/ORC last asked voters the economy question. Then, just 19% said Trump was the best candidate to handle the economy, compared with 20% for Bush.
Immigration
The core of Trump’s campaign platform is based off of his opposition to illegal immigration and his heated — and sometimes controversial — rhetoric describing it. And Republican voters seem to be responding: 44% of them told CNN that Trump was the best candidate to handle the issue.
None of Trump’s primary rivals came close. Twelve percent of GOP voters said Bush would be the best to handle illegal immigration, followed by three candidates who lagged on the economy question: former Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida at 7%, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas at 6%, and former Gov. Rick Perry of Texas at 5%.
At the end of June, just 13% of respondents said Trump was the best candidate to handle illegal immigration, compared with 21% for Bush.

“Twelve percent of GOP voters said Bush would be the best to handle illegal immigration.”
Yeah, he’d be just great… make it all legal and truck ’em in by the bazillions. “What illegal immigration problem?”
