Trump: Poll Numbers Would Jump if Voters ‘Think I’m Running’
Real estate tycoon and reality TV star Donald Trump, whose numbers jumped by 5 points in a new Bloomberg Politics/Saint Anselm New Hampshire Poll, said Monday that the problem with his poll numbers is that "nobody thinks I'm running."
"OK, if they thought I was running, [the numbers] would have even been better," Trump, who has not declared his candidacy for 2016, told Fox News' "Fox & Friends" program. "They may very well be surprised in the near future. We'll see what happens."
In the Bloomberg poll, Trump netted 8 percent of the voters who said he'd be their first choice and 4 percent of those who said he'd be the second choice, putting him in fifth place, behind, in order, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.
