Right now he is riding high and seems to be gaining momentum. But lets remember these polls only reflect registered republicans which only make up about 25% of the vote.
Like all candidates if Trump gets the nomination he now has to figure out how to get the moderate independents to vote for him.
As I have said many times the winner of the next election will be the candidate that can get the minorities and young people to vote for them. The odds of Trump winning the popular vote and the electoral college choosing to vote against him are microscopic.

The CNN poll today was republicans and also independents who lean republican. So its a bit closer to the picture. It is still very very early. But I am excited for the debates with Trump in the mix. Should be highly entertaining to see how the seasoned politicians handle his free range style.
