A recent poll in New Hampshire tested Trump's popularity as a potential Republican candidate.
Billionaire businessman Donald Trump.Appearing on "Fox & Friends" and MSNBC’s “Morning Joe" on Tuesday, Donald Trump said he is "absolutely thinking about" a run for president in 2012.
The real estate mogul and host of the popular NBC reality television series 'The Apprentice' made the remarks one day after saying he was not behind a recent New Hampshire poll that tested his popularity as a potential Republican candidate.
According to Time Magazine's Mark Halperin, New Hampshire residents were polled in September about several potential Republican candidates for 2012, including about 30 questions on Trump.
"The Republican field is so weak and so unsettled, there's some candidates there who could develop into strong ones, but there's no clear front-runner the way the Republicans usually have. If Trump decides to run as a Republican, I think as we've seen in the past, he knows how to get attention," Halperin told MSNBC's Joe Scarborough.
In an interview on CNN's "American Morning" on Monday, Trump said, "I will say this, somebody has to do something or this country is not going to be a very great country for long."
