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. ***

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

He didn't "win" last time, not without the aid of the most widespread election fraud operation in this country's history.

Who is this 10% undecided?

The same type of people that served on the OJ Simpson jury. Unfortunately, those people will also serve on the Trump juries but this time they will vote to convict.

The “six percent” wanted Trump in the debate because they considered voting for a different candidate.

Image that. The Biden government in full tyranny mode, illegally targeting the regime‘s chief competitor—also his associates and supporters, and these six percenters think that someone other than President Trump might be more knowledgeable or qualified to fix it? Or more outspoken about reforming the election system? Or more personally pissed off about the corruption of government than President Trump is?

Those wussies weren’t MAGA material to begin with. They were never gonna support Trump.

Here are some interesting results in the poll data:

Demographics:

Analysis: This is a D+1 poll, which is not unusual.

Voted for in 2020:

Analysis: If we assume that people will vote their party affiliation, Independents broke for Biden (28.8% increase over registered) versus Trump (21.3% increase over registered).

Q: In 2024, do you plan to vote in the Democratic or Republican presidential primary or caucus in your state?

Analysis: If we assume that people will vote their party affiliation, Independents are breaking strongly for Republicans (29.2% increase over registered) versus Democrats (1.6% increase over registered) to join their primaries. This may simply be because the Republicans have a competitive primary and Democrats do not, and people want to feel that their vote matters.

Q: In a hypothetical 2024 Presidential matchup between Joe Biden and Donald Trump who would you vote for at this time?

Analysis: If we assume that people will vote their party affiliation, Independents are breaking slightly for Donald Trump (25.5% increase over registered) versus Joe Biden (23.6% increase over registered).

Adding Cornel West to the race reduces Donald Trump's vote to 44.1% (-2.1%) and Joe Biden's vote to 39.0% (-5.0%).

Q: Do the four indictments of Donald Trump make you more or less likely to support Donald Trump for president in 2024?

Analysis: If we assume that people will vote their party affiliation, people "more likely" to support Donald Trump almost exactly matches the Republican party affiliation in the poll. This suggests that President Trump's Republican base is strongly for him.

Q: Do the tax and felony gun charges of Hunter Biden make you more or less likely to support Joe Biden for president in 2024?

Analysis: If we assume that people will vote their party affiliation, Joe Biden does not have the base support that Donald Trump has. People are about even about being less likely to vote for either candidate, but more people are unsure about voting for Biden than they are about voting for Trump.

Conclusion: Donald Trump's base support is remaining strong throughout all the indictments against him, while Joe Biden's base support is shrinking throughout the Hunter Biden news. As of now, Independents are leaning towards Donald Trump.

The pollsters got a lot of busy signals from Trump supporters. They were pre-occupied with making donations to the Trump campaign.

Haley is not my first, second, or third choice. But if the moderate, independent GOP viewer wanted a winning approach, especially towards winning the female votes she gave it to them.

moderate, independent GOP viewer

And therein lies the rub.

There are memes that show young American boys playing with dolls while young Muslim boys are learning how to slit the American boys throat.

Moderate Republicans = young American boys

Democrats = young Muslim boys.

OK, here on FR, any poll that does not go Trump’s way is instantly rejected. Any kind word spoken about other candidates is automatically rejected. The poster is attacked and its sickening.
