A new Reuters-Ipsos poll finds that Donald Trump “has vaulted into a virtual dead heat” with Jeb Bush atop the GOP presidential field.

Trump had the support of 15.8% compared to 16.1% for Bush. They were followed by Gov. Chris Christie at 9.5%, Sen. Rand Paul at 8.1%, Ben Carson at 7.2% and Gov. Scott Walker at 5.8%.

9. i was in downtown los angeles today and there were homeless camps with anti trump signs

i don't think some realize how big this is among the hispanic community .

i would say it's similar to things like black men(and it happens to hispanics also) who deal with cops .

these are things that various communities talk about and deal with regardless of whether they are political in any other way. they might not even vote or pay attention to most news.

10. Trump certainly is well known nationally. In a way he is the equivalent to Hillary Clinton in how

known he is by all americans. This is great for democrats.

11. I'm wondering if the 2012 pattern will re-emerge this election cycle.

We all saw how the Clown Car went in 2012 - one crazy person takes the spotlight and spikes in the polls for a few weeks, then he crashes, then another crazy idiot spikes in the polls. Lather, rinse, repeat, almost to the GOP National Convention.

Back in 2012, it was Newt Gingrich, then Michelle Bachman, then Rick Perry, then Herman 999 Cain, then Rick Santorum... (OK, I don't remember the order of the poll spikes.) Every few weeks, another idiot would emerge from the Clown Car.

12. I would say Trump has more staying power because

Trump is very well known across the country and he is smarter than that clown posse that took turns leading the GOP nomination race in 2012.

[backscatter712]

13. I don't know about smarter...

He is good at catering to the teabagging id of the GOP.

14. You are right... don't mistake his verbal diarrhea for stupidity...

[applegrove]

15. I'm not saying he is in any way right. He is just nimble in answering questions

and speaking without notes in a way stupid people in the base like.

[JCMach1]

16. Me either... he is politically repugnant... but he is going to give the Repugs fits

because the base loves what he has to say...
