Updated:Donald Trump's Exceedingly Brilliant Poll Day 09/29/15

As is always the case as soon as the pundits trot out their "Trump is on the decline/finished after 1st/2nd debate' Carson/Fiorina/Rubio is threat to him" etc. articles Trump then starts to ascend in the next series of polls.

Noticeable there were fewer "Trump is finished" articles after the 2nd debate than the 1st as so many "pundits" got burned by Trump's subsequent poll rise many were scared to repeat their humiliation. But a number still had a go at it and clearly never learn (*see list below)

So, right on schedule the latest series of polls are outstanding for Trump;

NB; with these latest polls Trump's trend line has flattened out and arrested a decline. I would look to subsequent polls taken after his 60 minutes/O'Reilly interviews and tax policy release to show an upward trend or at least stay stable;

Reuters Ipsos-Trump finishes 5 day tracking in a poll of over 500 Republicans rising to 30%-a 17 point lead


Morning Consult's latest poll gives Trump a 15 point lead at 30% (the naysayers will have trouble with two large polls having the same result)


******************************************************

In the new Suffolk/USA Today poll, another of these polls with a tiny number of respondents and with 18% "undecided". Trump has a 7 point lead at 23% which is 2 points above the touted by the media NBC poll which had him "finished" at 21% and 6 points higher than the last Suffolk poll.
