White House Race Trump leads Republicans
Bombastic US billionaire Donald Trump handily leads all fellow Republicans in the 2016 presidential race, Hillary Clinton and other Democrats trump him in head-to-head matchups, a poll said yesterday.
Trump plunged into the crowded Republican nomination battle last month, and has since uttered insults about Mexican immigrants and caustic jabs at rivals that has kept campaign media attention focused squarely on the trash-talking real estate mogul.
He now leads the 17-candidate Republican field with 20 percent support, followed by conservative Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker with 13 percent and former Florida governor Jeb Bush, the son and brother of two presidents, with 10 percent, according to a national survey by Quinnipiac University.
No other Republican candidate topped six percent.
Trump's negatives are sky-high, however. He led the "no way" list, with 30 percent of Republicans saying they definitely would not support him.
