Expect the establishment to start bribing pollsters to achieve these results.

Trump got what he wanted. Now he's actually looking for excuses to drop out.

Astrology seems to be shockingly accurate thus far.

According to Donald Trump's horoscope, the period of July-September (2015) was supposed to be very great for him (and it was).

Donald Trump is actually at a somewhat negative phase of his life right now tho. It started in mid-September and will end somewhere around mid-November. His horoscope says that he will lose support and drop in the polls during this period, but this phase is not negative enough for him to drop-out of the race completely. This has been shockingly accurate so far.

At the end of the year, Donald Trump is supposed to enter a wonderful phase in his life. He will experience a huge increase in support and will start to do significantly better in the polls. January might be the peak of his campaign. This phase will only last until February tho. It will end just before the first primaries in Iowa/New Hampshire. The month of Feburary looks pretty bad for him, and his lead will start to decline. (Feb is the month of the IA cau. and NH pri.), and March/April looks awful for him. He could win Iowa/New Hampshire, but his horoscope becomes negative after those primaries. If astrology is accurate, he should drop out during the months of March/April.

I know that astrology is considered to be pseudoscientific garbage by most Atlasians, but this is still interesting nevertheless. I don't believe in astrology, but the horoscope of DT has been shockingly accurate thus far.

It's not. Or at best there are very weak correlations with no causal connections.

It's coincidence, and also you're reading into it what you want to.

...I'm pretty sure everyone knows this. It's not secret.

But you can put those accolades where your flag used to be if you want.

Well, what is a real Republican then? At the moment, a plurality of supposedly "real Republicans" support Donald Trump as the face of their party.

He has fallen, so why hasn't he dropped? What's he waiting for? He seriously needs to go. There's the serious business of electing a President.  As for his supporters, well they did have the bad taste to support that blow-hard,  so there political judgement needs to be question. I have a feeling if an orangutan was running and making the right moves and noises,  he'd have there support😊...nope not kidding😉

He reiterated his comments about dropping out if his polling drops this morning:

Sorry Donald, but that sounds exactly like what a loser would say.

The thing is Gingrich surged into big leads in November, December, plummeted ahead of Iowa, then rebounded to win South Carolina. And if Bush or Rubio is the one takes the lead when Trump drops in polls, that in itself is proof that one can fall and rebound. But I'm wondering if Trump is just trying to see how long he can last in the lead without spending a penny.

Yeah, that's the big question I have.  He hasn't spent any $ on TV ads yet, but he's going to have to do so at some point if he wants to win some primaries.  Does he actually want to spend big $ on this race, or is he not prepared to do so?

Ummm, I think he's just saying that losers like Paul should drop out and stop embarrassing themselves. Obviously he's not going to drop out if he falls from 25% to 15% or something.

At some point (I suspect after the next debate) Trump will fall to second or even third. He will no longer get as much media attention. I think he will first try to get back on top with lashing out at the media, picking fights with media people and with particular candidates, saying some crazy stuff, etc. When that doesn't work he will be faced with the decision to spend $$$ on paid media. He has said he was prepared to spend $100M but in the end I think that is the moment he quits.

Donald Trump is too trusty to polls/ He says he will quit the presidential race if he is not the leader in a new poll. In general polls shows attitude to one or another issue of the public. But considering the problem of random sample statistics turns out to be the most deceitful science. Isn`t he really aware of it?

Yeah, right.
Why would he drop out so early?  He's got nothing to lose.

Trump dropping in the polls would end his self-fulfilling prophecy - he's a winner, and look at all these polls saying he's a winner!
