The Hill

More
than half of Republican voters don’t believe Washington politicians
represent their views, and a plurality of those voters want Donald Trump
to be the party’s presidential
nominee.
Fifty-three
percent of GOP voters feel that D.C. is unrepresentative of their
views, compared to 27 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning
independents in a new CNN/ORC
poll released Monday.
Trump
holds a strong lead over that share of the Republican electorate — 24
percent of the disaffected back him. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is in
second with 13 percent
of that group, with the rest of the field far behind.
These
GOP voters also are more enthusiastic about voting for president and
are more likely to see illegal immigration as their top issue. While 56
percent of all Americans
want the country to prioritize granting undocumented immigrants legal
status, 63 percent of Republicans want the priority to be stopping the
flow of illegal immigration and deporting those already in the country
illegally.
Trump’s
controversial rhetoric on immigration has drawn the ire of other
Republican candidates, but he’s drawn strong crowds to his immigration
rallies. The first batch
of CNN/ORC’s numbers on Sunday found Trump leading the field with 18
percent of the GOP vote.
CNN/ORC
polled 1,017,898 of registered voters with margins of error between 3
and 3.5 percent depending on the sample. The poll spanned July 22-25,
after Trump’s controversial
comments on Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) war record.
