Of the new Fox poll, at 25 percent. The finding is consistent with some other surveys. Among people who watched the debate, he had the worst ratings of any of the candidates (19 percent said he did the best job; 32 percent the worst). But its not enough to dent his top-line number.
Carson bumps up to second at 12. This shows how important moments are in these debates. He was a non-factor for much of the debate, then had a couple of memorable answers at the end that created a very good impression.
Cruzs debate has been under-estimated. Hes up to 10. Carly also got a deserved bounced at 5.
Rubio and Kasich are the dogs who didnt bark. Despite widely praised performances, they basically stayed static. And the losers are Bush and Walker who have seen their support erode. This probably shows how, with a field this big and with such a premium on media attention, adequate isnt enough, especially when Republicans are in mood for something new and different.
Indeed, one way to look at this poll is that every conventional politicianwith the exception of Cruz, whose message is relentlessly anti-Washington and anti-Republican leadershipis struggling to catch on.
Up North this weekend out of cell range. I tuned to XM FoxNews out of curiosity to see if Ailes would live up to the “fair” hype.
They bashed Trump all day. Their analysis was A) wrong B) arrogant C) elitist D) vomit inducing
I really didn’t expect anything else, but when tards double down the crowds head for the doors.
Only explanation is they must be looking to pick up the MSNBC demo.
GOPe heads are exploding making the sound of popping bubble wrap.
Liberals are in the throes of apoplectic fits.
Most other candidates are struggling to comprehend their political world collapsing around them as they sit dumbfounded.
I’d like to hear Trump tell Obama, “Your fired”, ALMOST enough to vote for him.
Supposedly the Constitution will fire Obama anyhow, but Calvinball is the modern game.
“every conventional politicianwith the exception of Cruz, whose message is relentlessly anti-Washington and anti-Republican leadershipis struggling to catch on.”
Truth and the courage to point out that the emperor has no clothes.
It looks like the grassroots are FED UP with the Establishment.
I can't wait until the new Republican president lays down the law to Boehner and McConnell.
Expectations. Everyone thought Cruz should dominate yet he only got a couple of questions. People can't separate facts from expectations.
