WASHINGTONÂ (Reuters) - U.S. presidential hopeful Donald Trump's support among Republicans has dropped 12 points in less than a week, marking the real estate mogul's biggest decline since he vaulted to the top of the field in July, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll. Trump was the favorite of 31 percent of Republicans in a rolling poll in the five days ended on Nov. 27. That was down from a peak of 43 percent registered on Nov. 22. The dip follows criticism of Trump for comments he made in the aftermath of the Nov. 13 Paris attacks that killed 130 people and wounded hundreds more. Following the attacks, Trump told an NBC News reporter that he would support requiring all Muslims within the United States to be registered to a special database, which his critics have likened to the mandatory registration of Jews in Nazi Germany. Trump has also been criticized for flailing his arms and distorting his speech as he mocked a New York Times reporter, Serge Kovaleski, who is disabled. Trump mocked the reporter as he defended his unsubstantiated assertion that during the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, he watched on television as "thousands and thousands" of people in New Jersey cheered while the World Trade Center fell.erval of 5.2 to 6.1 percentage points.

It’s interesting the folks who posts these types of articles. They never show up on most Trump threads.
Of course, it’s an “Al Reuters” poll ..
rut roo
The making fun of the disabled NYT reporter will not likely help Trump’s numbers.
I heard he dropped 50. My name is Ray but you can call me jay but ya doesn’t have to call me Johnson.
He didn’t make fun of his disability.
You COULD qualify for a special prize.
Oh please, did ANYONE gain any points? No, so this is just statistical noise.
Reuters?
Nasty Commie News Outlet.
The NYT reporter is playing the Gimp Card and it’s not working:
#GimpLivesMatter
If you read my past posts, I am VERY pro Trump....
This is the 3rd at least posting of this. Reuters poll is very volatile
This poll is an adjusted type, meaning you can add or subtract groups to get different results, and that’s exactly what Yahoo did. In reality he has only dropped 4 points, but considering its variable by 5%, he hasn’t dropped at all.
Good one! lol
Oh please the New York Times and its obedient Democratic Party supporting writers and reporters are the last people I would feel sorry for.
If Trump is falling and Cruz is rising, it must have had some impact on the polls.
I’d prefer to see the poll questions, for any/all polls.
Just as I think that all media should have to identify their political affiliation and contributions.
(would it be possible for independents to overly contribute to the socialist/democratihic party?)
And Lindsey Graham surges 12 points (he’s now at .05)!
So this is his whole life now, proving that Trump made fun of him.
I didn’t see it that way but let me say something un-pc. Even if he did, it wouldn’t make him a less competent leader, it wouldn’t keep him from building a wall, it wouldn’t change the fact that he will be the only politician in D.C. who hasn’t sold his soul.
So hopefully it wasn’t the case but it wouldn’t change my vote.
I really do not think that anyone who supports Trump cares even a little bit about a NYT reporter, disabled or not.
The NYT is friggin’ disgusting.
