 Donald Trump has now grown his lead over Hillary Clinton in Rasmussen Reports’ first weekly White House Watch survey.

Trump earns 42% support to Clinton’s 37% when Likely U.S. Voters are asked whom they would vote for if the presidential election were held today. But Rasmussen Reports’ latest national telephone survey finds that 13% prefer some other candidate, while seven percent (7%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

It may be a lot to ask of a Trumpist, but you may wish to more carefully select your choice of words.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Nate Silver ranks Rasmussen as among the worst national pollsters in the country with a very heavy Republican bias:

It must not be a good poll, for it does not give the answer favored by #nevertrump argument addicts.

The difference of course is that Nate can admit when he is wrong.

Nate Silver of five thirty eight predicted Trump had a 5 % chance of winning the Nomination.

That's an out of date article your citing. While there was some statistical truth to Silver's analysis of Rasmussen at the time, it is no longer true. Rasmussen itself understood that its methodology was flawed and has since changed its sampling formula  and polling process. So Rasmussen current screening is not comparable to what Silver criticized back in 2014, Rasmussen saw its own shortcomings and adjusted accordingly.

You can add this one to the Foxnews poll that just came out and its pretty darn clear that there is a VERY strong polling trend in favor of Trump...and it appears has moved into a small lead over Mrs. Clinton. Rather astounding considering he was recently behind by double digits AND faced a 70+ million dollar negative ad barrage from the NeverTrump/Cruz folks. He has overcome that, and is now aiming his focus on Clinton with powerful effect.

We'll see.

When he's gone through his personal attacks and they have marginal effect, what's he going to do? 

Talk about issues?  He doesn't know anything about issues, and he can't possibly get up to speed fast enough by talking 70s foreign policy with 92 year old Henry Kissinger.

It's a show with you, and Trump is winning the show.  How effing shallow.

Actually, its very simple for me. I've served this country all my life, and I serve it still. I also have 3 daughters and a wifeand live close enough to our southern border that I see daily the havoc and security risk we currently are facing. The nation is not secure, both at the border...in our overseas interests...and in our efforts to face terrorism in the homeland. So my concerns are not in my opinion shallow, rather they are centered on keeping this country and our families safe and prosperous. It saddens me that a fellow conservative would find that to be lacking in depth or value.

Because of all that, the issue I care most about is keeping this nation safe from its enemies, symmetrical and asymmetrical. Donald Trump is the best man for that job, not because of his extensive background in foreign affairs, but because he understands the old Reagan doctrine of peace through strength...and because he falls into the Pat Buchanon American-first/avoid foreign entanglements philosophy. A little bluster and bravado from a president is exactly what our enemies need to see, and I'm comfortable that that bluster will be accompanied by a VERY calculated use of force in our defense. Further, securing the border is step one in our domestic security, and nobody is as strong as Donald on that issue.

So the only "show" I'm aware of is the one you put on every day at this site....and you are correct that it is an "effing shallow" one.

Bluster.  Buchanan was bluster and Trump is bluster.  Trump isn't steeped enough in history and diplomacy to not go off half-cocked.  He just said at some Christie fundraiser:  "I'm 100% sure that plane was blown out of the sky."  If it wasn't, he's going to look mighty foolish.

You like that kind of stuff. I think it's ridiculous and immature.  But, I guess Republican voters are into ridiculous and immature.

I've given up no liberties, nor will I. I practice all of my constitutional rights to include open carry here in AZ. Those rights will only be endangered by a "Clinton" court, as we know an excellent sampling of who occupy a Trump Court. So the best way for ALL of us to continue securing ourrights is for Mr. Trump to defeat Mrs. Clinton...something every conservative with an ounce of intelligence should be able to see at this point. There are only 2 choices now...one secures all our rights, they other is quite clear that she will take them away. It doesn't take a genius to see which way to go.
