Looking at the numbers and joins us now. It seems like Republican Voters on every issue are increasingly falling in line behind donald trump. Who should handle the economy . 45 say it should be donald trump. Who should handle immigration issues in 44 say donald trump. Who should handle isis and problems with terrorism . 32 say donald trump. This is also turned into a rout on the favorability question here. 57 of republican men now saying they have a favorable opinion of trump. 60 of republican women saying they have a favorable opinion of donald trump. And that is what has produced the very number you mentioned a moment ago. The idea that he is now at 24 in terms of people who would vote for him right now in the horse race. How does the rest of the field compare . You mentioned a moment ago whats happening with bush. He is the only one in striking range. 13 . Thats not a robust position. Everyone else, theyre all lagging far behind right now. Is there any sign that trump has been hurt by any of the statements you made about women or Illegal Immigrants . Everyone thought he would be. I want to you look at something. If i bring in a graph and we talk about back in may when he was just saying, he might run for office. Back then, only 3 of people out there said they would vote for him. Everybody else was in front of him basically. Then he actually announced, and remember, he made the explosive comments about people coming across the Mexican Border saying they are drug dealers and rapists. Saying that would be poison to his campaign. Look at the numbers. It jumped up higher to 12 . Then he made the comments about john mccain saying he was only a war hero because he got captured. Everyone said thats the end of the trump campaign. Look what happened. The numbers jumped again and he started leading the race. Now he made the comments about a Breast Feeding woman being disgusting and all the things that they said would poison his campaign and look at the latest numbers. He has jumped to a commanding lead. There is one thing here everyone has to bear in mind. One other number. When you talk about the general election, actually winning the white house, and you ask those very same republican whos are so excited about donald trump right now. Would you have a better chance of winning that race with someone other than trump, big number here, 58 say yes. For all good news in here for trump, that is bad news for this campaign. Thanks very much. Just for complete accuracy, i believe it was not a Breast Feeding woman. It was an attorney who said she wanted to pump for breast milk for her infant. Trump claims it was in front of him. She said she wanted to do it outside. A lot to talk about including the criticalry notion which you just mentioned that donald trump is the frontrunner and also his being the candidate. Also, amanda carpenter, former Communications Director for ted cruz and niamalika henderson. Poll after poll all showing trump maintaining his lead. The others struggling against him. At what point do americans have to accept this is really happening . That his dominance is maybe not some summer fling. He is leading in the cnn nationwide polls, the iowa polls, the New Hampshire polls. What is particularly fascinating about the cnn poll, it includes a good number of independents who run as republicans. And if you look at the number donald trump is using in places like michigan where he is messaging jobs in the contech of how china and mexico are hurting American Workers by manipulating currency, cheating on trade rules, ending illegal immigration, this is aimed at the working class voter that i think has been abandoned by the Democratic Party and causing the people in the Republican Party to take a second look and explains the pop that donald trump has do you agree . That this is appealing to what used to be reagan democrats . No. No. No. Hes appealing to angry white men. Which we call them now republicans. High favorabilities among gop women there. God bless them. Look. I couldnt be happier. This is if you wereification of the Republican Party. Im always amazed. I have republican friends who look me in the eye with a straight face and say trump doesnt represent the republicans. Wait, he is the republican candidate leading among republicans in the republican polls. He is the Republican Party. He definals it. Im curious. I dont think he will be the nominee. God is good to me but not that good. What will croak him . As tom pointed out, first, he was the king of birtherism. That seems to be work republicans. Did he accuse mexican immigrants. Being rapists and murderers and all that nonsense. He attacked the fox news host for doing her job. He attack john mccain for being a p. O. Wsw. What will hurt this guy . If they love all that, what will it take to bring him back down to earth . You compare his Favorability Ratings with jeb bush. His unfavorability has gone up 8 points from a month ago. That cant be good news for the campaign. It cant be good news for the campaign. They have decided to wage a tortoise and hare campaign. I think we are going to see something of a shift in the next weeks as the super pac. As bushs super pac starts to spend 10 million in the early states. In that way they want to get the message out, that he is conservative too. I think the bet is that so far he hasnt been able to fall on his own weight. And people who tried to deck him like rand paul havent had much success. If they start to make jeb bushs campaign about jeb bush, he is not only electable, he is conservative, maybe that will start to turn the tide a bit. Well have to see. So far, as paul said, nothing really has worked in terms of putting cold water on this trump bump. It is fascinating. People say he doesnt give specifics. He starts to do that. As much as he does, he says he wants to take the oil from iraq. He wants to bring in oil companies. He wants to take oil and bomb the hell out of isis. He gave out his immigration plan which was really why pilloried by many in the Republican Party and they said it doesnt make sense. It is not really feasible. Yet you look at the numbers. The voters not only like him. They trust him. They trust him to handle the economy. To tackle isis. To address illegal immigration. I havent heard one military official saying his military plan against isis is even viable. I think Lindsey Graham called it insane. Do you think any of the other candidates come close to matching him in. It is early in the process and they get to hear that he says what he means and he means what he says. He has such a big personality. Nothing sticks. And well have to see this process pull out and give 25 of the vote. Youve seen the ebb and flow. To answer your own question, if you dont believe that trump will go all the way, what do you believe is going to bring him down . Is there any precedent that you can look back on other campaigns and say there was a teflon candidate before but over time, this and this and this, opened voters eyes. Not really like this. I know a lot of supporters compare him to ronald reagan. Ronald reagan was a once in a lifetime talent. But i dont know. What will happen is i think he has a very high ceiling. You said 24 in the poll . He might be able to get there. We say hillary looks weak at 49. Thats because she only has three opponents and one that is only one doing very well. So that 49 is not as powerful. 24 looks great in a 17 candidate field. It is not going to look as great when you get down to two or three. He may continue to grow. As long as it is republican only. He will do pretty well. At some point you have to run among all americans and he can never be president of the United States. Is it a fair criticism, it correlates to media coverage. He is more accessible. People want to see him. People want to book him. He is an interesting person to talk to. He likes the cameras. Is that a fair criticism . In some ways but he has exploited that advantage. He dials up our number and calls to cnn. He has blanltd the airways and the other candidates havent chosen to do. That they can come on our air as well and be that active in the way that donald trump has been active on twitter as well. So you know, in some ways there is a symbolic relationship between trump and the press. I think these other candidates could do themselves some good by getting out there more. So far, it appears like donald trump is sort of the fonzie of this race and everybody else is like richie cunningham. How they change that, i dont know. Fonzie eventually jumped the shark. But it took many, many years and he was hugely popular for all those years. I was a huge fonzie fan so i can tell you a lot about that. Up next, the support that donald trump now enjoys among republican women despite what he said that was brought up during the fox news debate. Hillary clinton weighing in on her candidacy. I regret that this has become such a cause celebra. But that does not change the facts. No matter what anybody says, the facts are stubborn. When heartburn comes creeping up on you.

But it should not be surprising, that in and of itself. He has led in virtually every poll for weeks now despite the numerous controversy thats might sink candidates. He defies the laws of political gravity so far. What might be surprising to some including some pundits is that he is doing surprisingly well among republican women. We showed you the poll at the top of the broadcast. That is three Percentage Points higher than republican men. More now on the women behind those numbers from our randi kaye. Reporter donald trump knocking super model heidi klum saying sadly she is no longer a 10. Klum fired back this video with the , heidi trumps trump. It seems no matter what trump says about women, more and more republican women like what they see even after blasted fox news megyn kelly. I dont feel like what he says about women is really degrading. I dont. Reporter trump supporter Heather Halterman campaigns in eye watch shes heard it all. Writing that Gayle Collins has a dog face. That he called a female lawyer disgusting for asking to breast feed and that time he called Rosie Odonnell a fat loser. She came to my wedding. She ate like a pig. The wedding cake was like missing in action. He has a lot of great ideas. It sounds like what youre saying is that what he says about women is almost secondary to what you think he can do for the country. Exactly. Reporter it doesnt bother you. These are far more important. Far more important. I feel like as a mom of two young kids, i feel like our country is going down the drain. I want to make sure they have a really good future ahead of them. Reporter for heather, a good future for her boys includes building a wall at our southern border. The overflow of people coming in, i feel is just detrimental to this country. And the middle class is getting wiped out. Reporter she also likes that trump is pro israel. Sharing this photo of herself with trump and her friend who survived the holocaust. And she agrees with trump. The tax code must be fixed. And the military built up. The College Student katy has faith he will improve the job market. So she signed on as his caucus leader. She likes his Straight Talk and said women should not be ultra sensitive to Straight Talk. If youre in the business, youre playing mans game. Youre going to saddle up your boots and take it like a woman, like a cow girl. Reporter still, plenty of republican women want to hear more from trump. Donald trump has a lot of work to do in defining the issues that are important to women. And then telling us what hes going to do specifically. Reporter kim says republican women like trump because hes not beholden to anyone and his lack of Political Correctness is like a magnet. I think his message of making America Great again is something we all want to believe. Reporter can donald trump really make America Great again . Even some supporters arent sure. But the diehard trump fans are believers. Hes never been a politician. Would you see him talking to World Leaders . I would be so proud to call him president trump. Reporter randi kaye, cnn, iowa. Lets dig deep entire his political life. With us, cnn political commentator, and the gop strategist close to jeb bush and marco rubio. For all the talk about trumps comments about women. How do you account for the number of support among republican women than any other candidate . I cant. I stopped trying to make sense out of any of this some weeks ago. It is really a mission impossible. Take all the conclusions that logic would have you get to. And turn them upside down. Thats where we are in this gop race. And i think the democrats are feeling it too. Look, i think that donald trump is tapping into people who are frustrated, who are mad, mad as hell. If youve ever met republican women, you can figure out that they can get just as mad as anybody else, if not more mad. Youve dealt with me so i think you may have an idea that that happens. Hes appealing to that. He is appealing tom and people are frustrated. And he is to that hymn right now. And i think the other candidates need to get the message loud and clear that there is enormous frustration with washington, with politics as usual. With politicians as usual. And they need on figure out how theyre going to sell their message and try to stand out as not usual. Jeffrey, you know the argument that women who vote in the republican primary could help trump get the nomination. Does it matter if he doesnt have the same support for moderate or liberal women who vote in the general election . Do you buy that or do you see room for growth for him . I do see room for growth for him. I asked a woman friend of mine who is a conservative, the very question you are asking here. Knowing i was coming on. And she said republican women, conservative women are logical. Im looking at this poll numbers. It is astonishing to me. I must say. When you asked women who could best handle the economy, he wins by almost 30 points over jeb bush who is the closest to him. And much more over the other candidates. And it is similarly true for the different issues. I think it is because donald trump has this reputation as a mister can do. That they are concerned, women are concerned, americans are concerned about jobs about, the economy. Thats what theyre looking for and this is somebody who has a serious track record that people have been familiar with for years. And he is blunt spoken. As ironically, i think roger ailes wrote a book called you are the message. Donald trump is the message. And his success is the message. And i think his audience gets that. It is not just that he has the lead among republican women. He is using womens issues to attack his opponents. Particularly jeb bush. Trump has been all over him about Womens Health fund cheg later said he misspoke about but trump has been hampering for quite a while. Listen, hes been hammering everything and everybody. As i told you, it makes no sense. One of the things that makes no sense, he has been hammering Carly Fiorina. Carly fiorina has been hammering him for having come out against megyn kelly and some of the things he said about her and Carly Fiorina has also gone up. So really, it is almost like anything goes. And we just have to stop making sense of it. To me, donald trump is like the perfect storm encampusrelated. He has unlimit celebrity name i. D. , celebrity status and he is tapping into anger with politics as usual. And he is entertaining. I think you have a little bit of everything going on. I want to see just what level this category this storm gets to. Yeah. So do a lot of people. We talk a lot about Favorability Ratings. Trump has 60 among republican women. How does he transfer that favorability into actual support . Actual voters in New Hampshire . Actual caucusgoers . In iowa . Do you think theres a certain amount as people right now saying they know him the most, they say i like him. Will they turn up to caucus and to come out . Do we know the answer to that . Yeah. I think we do. I think first of all, he is building a very Good Organization in iowa. This is under the radar here. He is doing very well in an organizational sense. So i do think, i mean, this is a guy who is results oriented. And i have to believe that he is running this campaign in the same way that he runs the trump organization. I mean, trump tower and all these other, you know, multiple projects didnt appear out of magic. He got them done. He was the driving force. I think thats whats going on here. Again, fascinating. A Quick Program note. New days chris sits down tomorrow with donald trump. Well bring you a portion of it tomorrow night. 9 00 eastern right after 360 on cnn. Up next, hillary clinton. Well show you what she had to say. And the latest on a real sho
