Tonight, Public Policy Polling gave The Rachel Maddow Show a sneak peek at the results of their August 28-30 poll to be released tomorrow. While the findings at the top of the poll are what we’ve come to expect from the Republican field - Donald Trump and Ben Carson securing the top spots - what is more surprising is to find Beltway-favored candidates Chris Christie and Rand Paul floundering at the bottom with barely any support.

The poll also shows the tea party character of the Republican Party, with strong birther views and a dubious grasp of some key facts about President Obama and Senator Ted Cruz.

1. The only news coverage seems to be about who is where in the polls

Little to nothing about actual policy positions of the candidates.

[underpants]

8. Trump has one policy on his website

His 6 page fix of immigration. That's it.

He was asked about it by a citizen (not a reporter) at a townhall in NH a few weeks ago. He brushed it off of course. I have seen no mention of this by anyone in the press. None.

[underpants]

19. I know but that's the point

He has one position. That's it.

We know that politicians are going to be vague but to not have any position, even pandering word salad, on say foreign policy or national defense is ridiculous.

My friend Rudy is always there to remind me ,there is one number that really rings the bell people hear.
You know it and they know it.
It's not about polls, it's about polarity !
Nuclear polarity !

Christie Tells Fallon He Might 'Go Nuclear' in Next Debate
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESSSEPT. 1, 2015, 12:06 A.M. E.D.T.











NEW YORK — Chris Christie says he's thinking of taking a more aggressive approach during the next Republican presidential primary debate.

During an appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" Monday night, the New Jersey governor and presidential candidate told Fallon that he's considering going "nuclear" if he's relegated to the sidelines during the next GOP face-off, which will be moderated by CNN later this month.

"Stay tuned on Sept. 16th," Christie told Fallon, "We may be changing tactics. You know, if I get to like 15 questions in a row -— count 'em at home — if I get to 15 in a row (where he's not called on), you're going to go 'Uh oh, he's going to go nuclear now.'"

Christie's return to late-night TV comes as he's been struggling to gain momentum in the crowded Republican field in the summer polls. During the interview, Fallon, who often jokes about Christie during his monologue, pressed the famously brash governor, suggesting that he's been overshadowed by billionaire businessman and Republican front-runner Donald Trump.

3. Who expected Christie to do well?

He's been considered a joke for a long time. He would have bombed even if Trump had never gotten in. There's nothing surprising about how poorly he's doing at all.

[deutsey]

12. Christie did

But then again, he is a joke, so that's not surprising.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

4. Rand needs to claim he'll make America WHITE again.....

Just like dear old dad....

[A Simple Game]

5. It looks like Chris and Rand are two slices in a Santorum sandwich, how fitting. n/t

[aceofblades]

6. Lmao at Jindal with 0%

The best part about this republican primary will be seeing the concession speeches of 16 of these numbskulls. Such delicious schadenfreude from Bachmann's back in 2012

[underpants]

7. aaaaaaaand here comes Gilmore!

1%

[kelliekat44]

9. Christie and paul may be at the bottom of the barrel but Trump is the barrel. nt

[brooklynite]

10. PPP's title of last month's poll: "Trump Still Leads GOP Field But Descent May Be Beginning"

Well. THAT didn't work out...

[Demeter]

11. Can't somebody just drop at least the last 8 of these clowns off the radar?

Save a lot of time, money and worry that way...

[turbinetree]

13. To show in my own way how insane........................

it would be if anyone of these clowns got into office, they would have the means to do this, with an order .................





that's what is scary, when a party wakes up everyday with hate and fear as a agenda ..............scary

[rocktivity]

14. I call it "Duplicating Duh Donald"

He says he might go nuclear at the next debate? Compared to what?

15. He's building a bridge to nowhere n/t

[sufrommich]

20. I just saw on CNN that his books are best sellers with

the right wing home school crowd. He's also a favorite of the anti choice crowd.

[rurallib]

18. Randy? Wasn't he Time's Man of the future just a couple of months ago?

23. Hello folks Chris here !

Folks, As the U.S. district attorney New Jersey and as governor of New Jersey ,to be perfectly honest, I must tell you,

I have always been a hands on kind of a guy and I have always been a firm believer and practical backer of the severe desire to dig right in. Get in, get it done and get out fast, that's how I operate.
