http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/trumps-gop-backing-just-keeps-growingOn that last point, the question in the poll was pretty straightforward: Regardless of who you are voting for, which Republican candidate do you think can best handle ISIS? Trump led his next closest competitor, Jeb Bush, on this question, 32% to 14%.
Remember, Trumps plan to confront ISIS is, according to the candidate, still largely a secret, though he recently outlined a plan in which hed bomb the hell out of the oil fields and then let ExxonMobil rebuild them so fast your head will spin. (Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno wasnt impressed with the strategy.)
As for the race overall, Fox News national poll released yesterday showed Trump with a big lead over the rest of the Republican field, and the new CNN poll released this morning points in a similar direction....
Trumps 24% is the most support any Republican candidate has received in any CNN poll this year, which suggests the debate and subsequent Megyn Kelly controversy did little to derail his ascension, and may have actually helped him a bit.

our education system.
Either that or a test to get you a "voter's license".
