Fox News Poll: Trump for President?
By Dana Blanton
Published February 11, 2011 | FoxNews.com

The list of potential Republican presidential candidates now ranges from former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney to real estate developer and television personality Donald Trump.

Who among them do voters think would make a good president?

A Fox News poll released Friday asked that simple question.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (55 percent) and Romney (54 percent) alone receive a thumbs-up from at least half of Republican voters. They also garner the most support among voters overall (34 percent and 33 percent respectively).

About four in 10 Republicans think former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (43 percent), former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (40 percent) and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (39 percent) would make good presidents -- however, less than one in four voters overall thinks so.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says he’s not running, yet 29 percent of Republicans say he would be a good president. That trumps Trump at 23 percent.

Trump was one of several possible 2012 candidates who spoke at CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday. He said he would announce his presidential plans in June.

This early in the election cycle, name recognition plays a large part in the support candidates receive. That may be what boosts Trump over lesser-known potential contenders such as former Minn. Gov. Tim Pawlenty (21 percent support among Republicans), Minn. Rep. Michele Bachmann (16 percent), Miss. Gov. Haley Barbour (16 percent) and former Penn. Sen. Rick Santorum (15 percent).

Meanwhile, the most well-known candidates are also the most likely to be viewed as not good presidential material. Three out of four voters (75 percent) say Trump would not make a good president, including 71 percent of Republicans. Seventy-two percent overall and 56 percent of Republicans say the same about Palin.

Many voters say they have never heard of some of the possible candidates, including Ambassador Jon Huntsman (55 percent “never heard of”) South Dakota Sen. John Thune (53 percent), Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels (49 percent), Santorum (46 percent), Pawlenty (45 percent), Barbour (42 percent) and Bachmann (41 percent).

Potential 2012 Head-to-Head Matchups

The poll asked about several hypothetical head-to-head matchups, and President Obama bests each Republican tested.

Romney comes closest to Obama, trailing by 7 points (48-41 percent). Last fall Romney was just 1-point back (41-40 percent, September 2010). A year ago, Obama lead Romney by 12 points (47-35 percent).

The president has an 8-point advantage over Huckabee (49-41 percent), up from a 3-point edge in September (43-40 percent).

Obama has even wider advantages over Palin (56-35 percent), Gingrich (55-35 percent), and Jeb Bush (54-34 percent).

Even as White House staffers depart to work on the 2012 campaign, 53 percent of voters think Obama is still focused on his job as president, rather than turning his attention to his re-election (33 percent).

The Fox News poll is based on landline and cell phone interviews with 911 randomly chosen registered voters nationwide and was conducted under the joint direction of Anderson Robbins Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R) from Feb. 7 to Feb. 9. For the total sample, it has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Right.

Trump trashing Ron Paul at CPAC is certainly the way to win a Republican primary.

Why did he trash Ron Paul? Because Trump and RP are on the OPPOSITE side on the issues. Trump's a pro-abortion, anti-gun liberal.

Did Trump "trash" the Paul Ron fella or just state an obvious fact in front of Mr. Ron's annual convention of adoring fans...that Paul Ron has ZERO chance of being elected president?

And yes, ANY AND EVERY repube of any major note coming out of NYC is going to be pro choice and pro gun control. Be it Trump, Adolf Gulianus, etc.

Obama to me combines all of the traits, experiences, and charachterisitics of what we don't want in a president. No balls, no experience, no real world employment experience, pushed along academically his whole life, delusional illusions of grandeur, associations w fringe charachters his whole life, etc.

National Review Column: President Trump? Some say he’s a viable candidate.
National Review ^ | 03/15/2011 | Katrina Trinko

Here’s the case supporter and longtime GOP strategist Roger Stone makes for why Donald Trump would be a viable presidential candidate: Trump’s got the business moxie to create jobs, the policy positions to win over the Tea Party, and, in a field dominated by dullards, the charisma to match President Obama in a likeability showdown.

“He’s a giant among pygmies. The fact that he is a celebrity, the fact that he can command public attention, gives him a terrific pulpit to communicate some very key ideas,” Stone says, referring to Trump’s outspokenness on U.S.-China relations and OPEC.

“He’s got a proven record of job creation,” Stone adds. “He’s created thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of jobs in the private sector. Mitt Romney bought a bunch of companies and closed them down. I think he may have cost us jobs in his business career. Beyond that . . . voters are very sour on politicians. Somebody coming from another strata . . . is very attractive to the American people right now.”

Stone, a friend of Trump’s who chaired the business mogul’s 2000 presidential exploratory committee and worked for him as a lobbyist in Washington for over 20 years, also sees an opportunity for Trump to capture the Tea Party momentum.

“I don’t view the Tea Party as being motivated by social issues. I view the Tea Party as being motivated by economic issues, and the size and cost of government, and the issue of taxation. On all those issues, Trump is a long-time conservative,” says Stone, noting that Trump has opposed Obamacare from the start.

So far, the Trump foray into 2012 has had middling success. After delivering a well-received speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Trump has continued on the conservative circuit, giving interviews to Rush Limbaugh (who praised Trump as having a “good old American can-do spirit”) and Fox News host Greta Van Susteren. A Wall Street Journal/NBC poll released this month found that Trump had 26 percent approval ratings, a percentage point ahead of Romney and 16 points ahead of Tim Pawlenty.

But as a possible candidate, Trump doesn’t appear to have gained much traction. The Facebook page for Draft Trump 2012, a petition effort spearheaded by Missouri military veteran Nick McLaughlin, has only 218 fans. (Trump’s main Facebook page has about 180,000 fans, significantly less than Romney’s 800,000.) This weekend, veteran Tennessee GOP senator Lamar Alexander told CNN that Trump had “absolutely no chance of winning” and was simply “famous for being famous.”

Trump shot back, telling Fox News that Alexander did “not seem to be an important player in Washington.”

Trump also faces concerns about his social-conservative credentials. Although he identified as pro-choice in 1999, he now says he is pro-life. While Romney (who has also changed positions on abortion) has been dogged by questions about the sincerity of his conversion, Stone doesn’t think Trump will be similarly affected. “The problem, I think, is that Mitt Romney changed all of his positions at the same time overnight,” Stone says. “I think the voters will allow a candidate to change positions on issues over time.”

Stone is similarly optimistic that the thrice-married Trump can avoid the probing personal-life questions that the also-thrice-married Newt Gingrich is likely to encounter. “Ronald Reagan was divorced,” Stone points out. “It doesn’t seem it was a problem for him. It is the manner in which you get divorced. In Trump’s case, he treated all of his ex-wives well and fairly, and I think they’re all favorably disposed towards him.”

And Stone thinks that, in a field where no candidate appears to have significant traction, Trump has the charisma to wow voters — and compete against Obama in the likeability department. He also doesn’t see Trump’s lack of political experience as a weakness. “I think voters prefer business experience to political experience,” Stone argues. “Political experience means you’ve been in Washington or in a state capitol and you haven’t gotten much done. I think voters consider creating a successful business empire — not only making millions of dollars, but also creating thousands of jobs — a worthy substitute for experience in the nation’s capital.”

But will Trump even run? He’s been flirting with a presidential run for over two decades. “I think he’s about 50-50. I think he’s the most serious he’s been. Nobody goes to CPAC without thinking about running for president,” says Lynn Kogh, the national political director of the Draft Trump 2012 committee.

“He’s certainly more serious than he’s ever been before,” agrees Stone. “In 2000, he was never completely sold. Now it’s a different time. His children from his first marriage are adults. They’re obviously beginning to run parts of his business. He’s now happily married, with a young son. I think he’s serious.”

“People are really looking for someone who is above the party politics,” Kogh remarks, noting that Trump has donated to both Democratic and Republican candidates, and adding that Trump would be a “fun candidate.”

“Can you imagine him debating?” Kogh asks. “It’d be really cool.”

Ultimately, any interest in Trump may say more about the 2012 field than Trump himself.

“The field is so slow,” Stone remarks. “There are no giants in this field.”

Former lib who suddenly became anti-obama when the 2010 election showed it could be profitable.

Currently trying to get everyone to watch his show's season finale by promising to make his announcement then.

he's fred thompson part 2.

And morons are cheerleading him (ignoring the bankruptcies despite inheriting a fortune, and his many lib positions - including supporting universal healthcare his entire life).

Soryr, but yall deserve exactly what you're going to get with your Trump/Palin pep rallise: Four more years of obama. ignore Thune, Huntsman, Christie and other qualified candidiates, and see if you can get britney Spears to wave a "don't tread on me" flag. nominate her. Dummies.
