A new Reuters poll of Republicans shows that GOP frontrunner Donald Trump has expanded his national lead over rivals since his Jan. 19 endorsement by former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

The new poll of 2,508 Republicans, taken over several days, showed Trump at 40 percent and Cruz sharply down to 10.5 percent. That’s a 29.5-point margin.

Reuters’ Jan. 19 results showed Trump at 33 percent to Cruz’s 16 percent, which was a 17-point margin.

The Reuters poll is here, and can be adjusted to show the candidates’ popularity among various subgroups. For example, Trump scored 38.4 percent among marrieds, 39 percent among people with an income of $50,000 to $70,000, 37 percent among people who earn above $150,000, and 36 percent among people older than 60.

Poll: Evangelicals flocking to Trump

Donald Trump's outreach to Christians is bearing fruit, if the results of the latest NBC News/Survey Monkey weekly online tracking poll out Tuesday are any indication.

Among white evangelical Republican voters, Trump earned the support of 37 percent, while Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, whose father is a pastor and has played a key role in recruiting faith leaders to support his son, is at 20 percent. In the same survey conducted the previous week, Cruz registered nine points higher. Below the top two contenders, Ben Carson earned 11 percent among evangelicals, while Marco Rubio took 10 percent.

The Manhattan business mogul, who is Presbyterian, made headlines throughout the course of the last week for his various interactions with fellow Christians, including a stop at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, last Monday. Delivering the weekly convocation address, Trump caused a stir when he made reference to a Bible verse in "Two Corinthians," rather than the usual reference of "Second Corinthians." (Trump later claimed that it was written that way in his notes, and besides, his mother was Scottish and would have said it that way.)


Trump also attended a Presbyterian service in Muscatine, Iowa, on Sunday, where the pastor made reference to the ongoing immigration crisis, a central plank in the Republican's campaign, and humility, in general. "I don't know if that was aimed at me," Trump said later.

The poll's overall week-to-week standings show little shift, with Trump leading the field at 39 percent, Cruz at 17 percent and Rubio at 10 percent. No other candidate received double-digit support.
On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton's advantage remained in the double digits, at 51 percent to Bernie Sanders' 37 percent.

The poll was conducted online from Jan. 18-24, surveying a national sample of 9,690 adults, including 8,215 who indicated that they are registered to vote. Included in that sample are 2,327 Republicans and 2,780 Democrats, with margins of error of 2.8 percentage points and 2.2 percentage points, respectively.

Trump had a long segment on Morning Joe this morning. If you can find the interview, it's worth watching. I think he has finally won them over.

Joe was digging around and made a list of all the politicians he had to deal with over the years to become as successful as he is. He when on to say he was very surprised that none of the media has never brought that up. Of course, he prefaced that with: "I'm not carrying your water But..."

I always heard that "but" pretty much nullifies everything before it.

They went over all the new polls; they're looking great. Strangely, Quinnipiac numbers haven't moved.

They were pretty amazed about the strong Evangelical vote and almost gasped when they read that he had the highest favorability rating of all in NH.

76% of his supporters are firm.

Wonder who?

He said he met with someone yesterday but I didn't catch whom. Did you hear him say that?

He has an Iowa rally today at 6 pm E; he's saving his announcement for his rally?

I didn't catch him naming whom he'd met with.

I bet he's saving the announcement for the rally.
