Funny, NBC was reporting yesterday that their newest poll shows Trump’s support “waning”. These polls are reported to influence voters, not report the current status of a candidate.

Funny, NBC was reporting yesterday that their newest poll shows Trump’s support “waning”.

The two are not mutually exclusive. If Trump goes down, but #2 (Carson) goes down more, your support wanes but your lead still increases.

Fiorina's increase came largely at the expense of Carson.

These polls also show different classes of people (e.g. Republican voters vs. likely primary voters vs. historical primary voters).

Trump has 25% that belongs to him. He might also do well in open primary states because he appeals to some voters who are not uniformly liberal, but don't like the Republican brand. It remains to be seen if his numbers will go up as people drop out.

After ignoring their own poll 2 weeks ago showing Trump "gaining".

“These polls are reported to influence voters, not report the current status of a candidate.”

I remember when California’s prop 187 - the anti-illegal immigration one that would’ve solved all the illegals problems - was voted on. the polls reported it being neck and neck all day. the results were that it passed in a landslide. haven’t trusted a poll since.
