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. ***

Hogwash
Sure it did.
Even if true, I’d take a temporary dip rather and subject myself to Bret Baier and his new blonde hatchetwoman’s biased questions. Climate Change and Ukraine and UFO’s oh my!
Rupert is mad that Trump didn’t attend his Rinofest.
Polls are made to push opinions, they are completely useless most of the time. So, is a 6-point loss or massive boost? LOL
No way the dems run biden, he can't win this time.
And he’s in the low 60s% in other polls.
And no way that Haley and Pence have legitimate increases.
Trump leading President Biden in a hypothetical general election matchup by 46% to 44%, with 10% undecided. Yea Right!!!
I bet that on election night 100% of the undecided will vote Biden and Trump will lose 54% to 46%. Funny how impossible things happen at 3am in Democrat districts.
No way the Dims resist using vote fraud. They don't care who their running mate is.
Which is it folks?
I don’t believe it.
I don’t believe it.
If true, just a blip, it’ll be forgotten in a week.
Trump Sees MASSIVE Polling Boost After Republican Debates, Crushing Ron DeSantis
My guess is that Newsome will toss his Aqua Net encrusted hat into the ring.
Just a minute ago I saw that his support was up to 62 percent. Which is it? Even if this is true and he’s “down” to 50 percent, that’s still a 38-point lead over his nearest opponent. Given the NY Post is a Murdoch operation I’ll take this with a block of salt.
