WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) –  A new CNN/ORC Republican presidential poll now finds Donald Trump with 36 percent of the vote, more than two times that of closest challenger Ted Cruz, who now stands at 16 percent. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson and Florida Senator Marco Rubio are the only other GOP candidates currently polling in double figures at 14 and 12 percent, respectively.

It appears that every time Trump makes a ridiculous statement – whether it is about immigration or refugees or terrorism, his numbers would further go up.

Intrigued by what is now being called ‘The Donald Phenomenon,’ a coalition of pollsters decided to revisit all the major polls they each have conducted in the last year. What they found shocked the hell out of them.

The pollsters found that almost 90% of those who have voted for Trump in the polls belonged to the bottom half of the IQ spectrum.

While the pollsters chose not to disclose how they determined the demographics and IQ scores of the poll respondents, they made it absolutely clear that Trump voters had IQ scores ranging from 55 to 85 (mentally inadequate to low intelligence). The average IQ scores of Americans range between 86 and 100.

Finally, we know what’s causing ‘The Donald Phenomenon.’
