Trump’s support dips six points after forgoing Republican debate: poll
The New York Post ^ | 08/28/2023 | Ryan King

Former President Donald Trump lost six percentage points of support in a national tracking poll after skipping last week’s first Republican primary debate, though the 77-year-old is still well clear of the rest of the GOP field.

An even 50% of likely Republican primary voters backed Trump in the Emerson College survey out Monday, down from 56% in the poll the outlet released Aug. 19, four days before the showdown at Milwaukee’s Fiserv Forum.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis gained two percentage points from the previous poll and placed second behind Trump with 12% support.

Following the top two were entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy at 9% (down a point from before the debate), and former Vice President Mike Pence and former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley at 7% each (up four and five points from before the debate, respectively.

*** “While Trump saw a slight dip in support, the question from this poll is whether this is a blip for Trump or if the other Republican candidates will be able to rally enough support to be competitive for the caucus and primary season,” ***

“Different candidates have been able to pull varying demographic support from the Trump base,” Kimball added. “For example Mike Pence, who saw an overall four-point bump in voter support, was able to increase his support in the Midwest from 4% to 13% of the vote, while Trump saw his Midwest support drop from 54% to 42% after the debate. Nikki Haley’s support increased from about 2% to 9% among voters over 50 while Trump’s support dropped within this age group from about 56% to 49% after the debate.”

However, the poll also shows Trump leading President Biden in a hypothetical general election matchup by 46% to 44%, with 10% undecided. ***

My guess is that Newsome will toss his Aqua Net encrusted hat into the ring.

Perhaps, also Whitmer.

Never ever believe a FOX poll. They have never been honest with their polling.

Which is it folks?

Unfortunately, more and more, truth is predicted upon feelings rather than facts.

“ No way the dems run biden, he can’t win this time. “

What percentage of Biden 2020 voters will switch to
Trump 2024 ?

From the same “meaningless” poll:

The poll shows Trump leading President Biden in a hypothetical general election matchup by 46% to 44%, with 10% undecided.

Multiple polls show Trump and Biden with a couple of points of each other, I would assume that is reasonably accurate.

So say the EverTrumpers when it isn’t giving Trump 80%.

Otherwise it is their main “news” (check the “Breaking News” margin) that Trump is so far ahead.

I can tell you he will lose the under 30 vote for sure, they will migrate to a third candidate of not vote.

That’s interesting. However, this was an Emerson College poll.

Funny how the polls are perfect unless they don’t support your candidate. So Trump lost 6%. There are consequences to skipping debates.

This poll was before the debates and after the debates the newer poll shows him gaining - so what exactly is the consequence - skip debates and popularity surges?

Who is this 10% undecided?
They are too stupid to be stupid (which is biden voter status)
And definitely not intelligently for this nation.
