Alternate headline: “Game of Drones” – Doug Ross writes a good article highlighting the latest polls in Iowa and New Hampshire (full pdf below). Given the scope of the spending by Jeb Bush and John Kasich, it does appear a particular level of futility is evident.
Ohio Governor John Kasich also told reporters recently about Jeb’s team doing opposition research and putting dirt diggers into the Ohio State House to find usable material. (more…)

Normally a candidate would have to go to the various news show studios for the Sunday Talk interviews. Not Donald Trump. The Sunday interview hosts come to him.
First up NBC Meet The Press (Chuck Todd):
Yesterday Reuters released a poll result showing Donald Trump with 34%. Oddly enough, IPSOS Conducted a Poll (commissioned by Reuters earlier in September), however Reuters never used/published it as a stand alone? [ Subsequently IPSOS Released it yesterday ]
These are findings from an Ipsos poll conducted for Thomson Reuters September 12-16, 2015. For the survey, a sample of 1,304 Americans, including 511 Democrats, 481 Republicans, and 172 Independents – RELEASED YESTERDAY (link)

HatTip TrumpTV – Donald Trump was in Tennessee today for a campaign rally with massive crowds of supporters lined up in the rain for hours to attend the event. Terrific enthusiasm, great crowd.
NEW YORK – CNBC is asking advertisers to pay a cool $250,000 to get their 30-second spot on the third Republican presidential debate, The Post has learned.
The debate, headlined “Your Money, Your Vote: The Republican Presidential Debate,” is set to take place on Oct. 28 and will air on the business news cable network.
CNBC’s asking price is 25 percent higher than the $200,000 per 30-second spot that CNN fetched during the second debate — and significantly more than the typical $50,000 that CNBC charges for its sometimes schlocky commercials for personal grooming products or gold buying services. (more…)
Reuters Trend Polling and OAN/Gravis Polling have each announced and updated Presidential Polling for the GOP race 2016. The results are exceptionally similar. Both polling outcomes reflect Donald Trump with a massive lead amid the rest of the field.
Gravis Polling has Trump with 35% support. Reuters shows an almost identical 34% outcome. The downstream alignments with the remainder of the field are also very similar. Here’s the OAN/Gravis result:
[…] Gravis Marketing, a nonpartisan research firm, conducted the random survey of 2,665 registered voters across the U.S. regarding the presidential election. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 1.9%. The polls were conducted on September 30 through October 1, 2015 (link) Below is the graphic result from Reuters (more…)
A rather extensive poll was conducted by Pew Research and People Press. The results are devastating for Jeb Bush. Donald Trump carries a solid 25% support amid a crowded field with Jeb Bush only garnering 4% support.
The total support within the “Splitter Team” is a weak 22% (Bush, Rubio, Fiorina, Huckabee) and only rises to 24% if you add Rand Paul.
Yes, Donald Trump is supported by a bigger margin than Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee and Rand Paul combined.
YouGov has published another national poll of 450 Republican Voters (full pdf below). One of the more interesting aspects to this specific poll is the inability of the Fiorina Campaign to capitalize on the beneficial media.
Thanks in part to Operation Hummingbird, Carly Fiorina was given 15% of total political airtime as measured by Newsbusters. However, it would appear the larger electorate is well aware of Fiorina’s deceptive intention to portray herself as an “outsider”.
The full 155 page poll pdf is below. However, we are also pulling out some of the key data pages so you can see the specifics of where this poll result is coming from. (more…)
