An Internet poll sponsored by Newsmax.com reveals that Americans overwhelmingly favor Donald Trump as their preferred candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012.

Participants in the poll, which has drawn more than 550,000 responses, also support Trump by a wide margin in a head-to-head matchup with President Barack Obama.

If the election were held today, Trump would beat Obama in a landslide, 68 to 13 percent. But that lead is just as sizeable when Trump faces off against the best and the brightest in the oft-mentioned field of GOP contenders for 2012.

Trump takes 57 percent of the vote in a field including Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty. His closest competitor, according to the poll, is former Massachusetts Gov. Romney with 9 percent of the vote.

I noticed that Ron Paul wasn't included in that poll. If he were I'm pretty sure the results would have been different.

Is this poll for real? Looks like Trump will have the biggest victory in the history of the POTUS election. This will make Reagan/Mondale '84 look like small potatoes.

It's real enough. It's also Newsmax, so I wouldn't take it too seriously.

"Mr. Trump, Americans are increasingly worried not only about their bank accounts, but the future of bank accounts for their children. What will you do as president to preserve a healthy currency, and a stable economy for the future?"

Trump: "As you know I am a business man and I will run the office of the president like a business. I will start by FIRING all the idiots in the government who waste money!"

Thunderous applause.

We ARE screwed.

I'm pretty sure the Newsmax readership is not representative.

Is this the same NewsMax all gung ho for Palin a short while ago? Not that they still aren't, but where did all her people go who would have voted in the poll?

It's an internet poll, otherwise I'd be even more concerned for humanity.

Re: Reagan/Mondale, I recall some wag on TV in 1985 saying "I only lost to Mondale by three votes, and I didn't even run, sucka."

Its the Ross Perot effect.

People will abandon their support when Trump actually has to come up with solid positions on the issues. Right now he's just saying the right things to an angry public, much like Perot did in the early 90s.

Trump versus Obama?

I'd vote Trump in a second, at least he is an American and loves his country, even if his vision of it doesn't completely overlap the libertarian one most of us here desire.

And Ron Paul would be an excellent chance to be Sec. Treasury.

Of course I'd rather see Trump as Sec. Commerce in a Ron Paul cabinet but I'll take what I can get.

I would never even consider voting for trump but it would be kind of funny to watch him look obama straight in the eyes and say "you're fired".

They ought to poll people outside the birther movement if they want realistic results. I think Mark Twain said something about statistics???

the media F.E.C. overlap between THE APPRENTICE as a tv program
and the SOUTH CAROLINA GOP PRIMARY DEBATE has THE DONALD
having a very obvious conflict of interest if he's on the airwaves in
both at once for all practical purposes? if he plunges in by July, does
he eat away at mitt romney's support? i think S.C could frame things
as a lead-in to SUPER~TUESDAY! May Fifth is the first S.C debate!!!

It sounds like Trump is planning to run...and he'll run as an Independent if he doesn't win the GOP nomination:

Participants in the poll make up less than .15% of the population. Polls are intentionally misleading. Let's say only 30% of the population votes, this is still less than half a percent of the voting population.

Fail.

I will bet anyone that 99% of the people who voted in this poll don't know the first thing about Trump, other than his name.

And after he takes your money, I'll bet you that 82% of the Republicans who voted in this poll will regret their Trump vote just as soon as they discover he threatened to run as an independent if they don't pick him.
