Trump Will Decide by Summer
Donald Trump told ABC News he is seriously considering a run for the White House and will make a final decision by June.
Said Trump: “I am thinking about things. And I’m looking at this country… and what’s happened in terms of respect. And the respect for this country is just not there. I have many people from China that I do business with, they laugh at us. They feel we’re fools. And almost being led by fools. And they can’t believe what they’re getting away with.”
Trump would run as a Republican and didn’t rule out a self-funded campaign on which he could “very easily” spend more than $200 million.
Lugar Poll Shows He Remains Popular
Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN), who confirmed he will run for re-election, released a poll showing he had the highest approval rating for a long list of state politicians, WISH-TV reports.
Lugar is at the top with a 66% favorable rating while Gov. Mitch Daniels (R) is at 59%.
Majority Oppose War in Afghanistan
A new Quinnipiac poll finds American voters think that the U.S. should not be involved in Afghanistan by a 50% to 44% margin — the first time a majority has opposed the war.
Key findings: Democrats opposed the war, 62% to 33%, while Republicans support it, 64% to 31%. Independent voters also oppose the war by a 54% to 40% margin.
Said pollster Peter Brown: “President Obama is in somewhat of a tenuous position politically on the Afghan war. If Republicans should desert him, he’d find himself with a very unpopular war on his hands.”
