A YouGov poll shows that Republican primary voters believe that Donald Trump is a bold and strong Washington outsider – providing a glimpse into why he is leading in the polls.
Of Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Donald Trump, and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Trump led the categories in which respondents weighed various qualities in the latest YouGov survey.
Seventy-five percent said Trump was bold, 62 percent said that he was strong, and 64 percent said that he was a Washington outsider.
Contrast that with only 23 percent who felt Rubio was bold, 29 percent who thought he was strong, and only five percent who believed he was a Washington outsider. The only categories that Rubio led were “typical politician” and “establishment candidate.”
Cruz, however, earned the most points for being a true conservative with a 54 percent rating. He also received the highest rating for being religious and for being partisan. His honesty rating was also the highest of the three at 42 percent.
When offered a choice between Trump, Rubio, and Cruz, the support split as follows:
Donald Trump: 45
Ted Cruz: 30
Marco Rubio: 21
