MSNBC ^ | 8/10/2015 | Dr. John Lopinski & Allsion Kopicki

Following Thursday's Republican debates, an overnight poll shows Donald Trump maintaining his edge over the crowded field of Republican candidates. ...

The NBC News online poll conducted by SurveyMonkey over Friday night and Saturday showed possible movement among the candidates following the debates, as well as Republican primary voters declaring Carly Fiorina the overall debate winner.

Donald Trump has the support of 23% of Republican primary voters following the debate ... Ted Cruz and Carly Fiorina were the candidates with the most gains in support, 7 points and 6 points respectively ...

Among Republican and Republican-leaning voters who watched either of the debates or followed coverage of the debates in the news, Carly Fiorina emerged as the clear winner. Twenty-two percent said Fiorina won or had the best performance in the debate, followed by 18% who said Trump had the best performance. However, another 29% said Trump did the worst in the debate, clearly showing how polarizing he is. When the candidate' negative performance percentages are subtracted from their positive percentages, Fiorina notched a positive 20, whereas Trump scored a negative 11. Both Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz did well, with net scores of positive 12 and 11. Rand Paul also fared poorly, scoring a negative 11. ...

No lie. I bet William O’Reilly jumps back in front of her. They need to put Judge Janine in Megyn’s spot.

Illogical conclusionary leap on your part.

People had many to choose from as to who they thought lost the debate, with some percentages going to other GOP candidates.

In the end, everyone had some % who thought they lost it, but Trump leads with 29%.

Trump BOMBED, IOW.

So take it up with them.

They have their methodology, and I imagined that people were asked about all running and all in the debates.

"...who watched either of the debates or followed coverage of the debates in the news"
Those who only " followed coverage of the debates in the news" and have an opinion are, by definition, fools LOL!

If Trump hadn't drawn so many viewers the media could have said whatever they wanted about the performances- like they always do. No wonder they hate him.

But now the Trumpettes suddenly don’t like Fox News.

No need to slur me with that sexist jibe.

the dishonesty is, Trump took a pass on being in that debate, so how was that a competition to be scored?

Carly and Trump were not even on the same debate platform

Not the same debates, not the same candidate pool. not the same questions, not the same moderators

However, fed some questions, she took some swipes at Trump while he wasn’t there.

I didn’t say you were a Trumpette.

So quit being a buffoon.

You need to step away from the Kool Aid.

Your posts on here show that you have had quite enough.

LOL. :)

An dyet you say nothing about Megyn Kelly being called a “broad” in post #11. You care nothing about any woman.

Not even close to the childishness being levied against all who don’t declare their fealty towards Trump.

And where were you when all the insults were lobbed against Megyn Kelly? Does two wrong make it right resonate with you? ;)
