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. ***

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.

I think the undecided will break for Trump by a substantial margin but the Democrats will try to manufacture votes to overcome that.

Slight change, “Democrats will manufacture votes to overcome.”

Trick will be to stop them.

Oh, and any poll that goes for the rest of the pack is to be believed like the word of God himself.

One article was posted that Pres Trump’s numbers went down. Another showed that his numbers went up.

Ergo....it’s up to the readers to believe the one they want.

And, here we have another....Never Trumper who is smarter than everyone else. Another style over substance person. Another....he’s a big meanie and I don’t like his tweets.

A Never-Trumper because of that? Nice try. Do you also make wild accusations against loved ones, or just total strangers?
