Donald Trump topped a recent Citizens United poll, adding to his momentum as the Republican frontrunner in the 2016 presidential race.
"The results are clear. Grassroots conservatives are overwhelmingly rejecting status-quo politicians. A shocking 78 percent of our members polled want a new leader willing to shake-up a broken system," said David N. Bossie, President of Citizens United, the conservative non-profit organization.
The new poll surveyed nearly 5,000 participants from Sept. 18 to Sept. 23. The online survey was not scientific.
"This is a poll of Citizens United members, which means that they are very much Reagan conservatives and activists from across the country. When I look at these numbers and I see the national polls, there’s a lot of similarities. So our membership which has a propensity to vote is quite stunning,"
he told Brietbart.com.
