Trump Rally Draws 30,000 in Alabama

Donald Trump Campaign Button. August 22, 2015 - Republican front runner Donald Trump capped his week on the campaign trail with a  outdoor rally in Mobile , Alabama  that drew a crowd of 30,000. The large turn out  makes it the biggest crowd so far to attend a rally by any of the 22 candidates now running  for president.

The rally topped a good week for Trump after a trio of new polls showed him leading the Republican field in Pennsylvania, Florida and second in Ohio to only John Kasich who is the Governor of Buckeye state.

The Florida poll was the most eye opening in that former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and Senator Marco Rubio of Florida now trail Trump in their home state. In Florida Trump has the support of 21% followed by Bush with 17% and Rubio at 11%. Rubio is actually tied for third place as Dr. Ben Carson also polled at 11%.

While Trump has the support of 21% in Ohio and 24% in Pennsylvania , Bush now finds himself mired in the pack with 5% in Ohio and 6% in Pennsylvania.

The next GOP presidential debate is scheduled for mid September at the Reagan Library in California. With the Trump juggernaut picking up speed, Bush and the other candidates will likely being displaying a more aggressive posture in dealing with the New York businessman.
