29% surveyed say that Trump lost the debate, while 18% say that Trump won the debate, for a negative 11% for Trump.

Trump equaled Rand Paul with a negative 11 overall. Trump = Rand Paul! LOL.

...“Democrats have opened our borders to all manner of horrific Third World violence, crime, and disease. The GOP has supported and endorsed this vile activity every single step of the way. Trump has tapped into the fury of the American people over the unrelenting anti-American NWO push of our paid employees in government. Trump could win this on this one issue alone. Americans are tired of being betrayed by their government on both sides of the aisle.”...

It wasn’t a “debate”. It was thirty-second Q&A sound bytes. A political fashion show, with the candidates on the runway for a few moments each, most of the attention going to the barkers running things.

This has got to have Karl Rove tearing his hair out! Oh, wait...

What’s Megyn Kelly’s approval rating now versus prior?

[silverleaf]

Wait - was Trump even in the same debate as Fiorina?

I thought Fiorina was in the b-list debate crew that didn’t make the FOX cut

29% are losers and the spaceship that dropped them off ain’t coming back for them.

29% said Trump lost, which means 71% didn't think Trump lost the debate. That's pretty remarkable considering that the two hours was about 75% a dump-on-Trump hatefest by the moderators.

Shouldn't our priority be getting Jeb, Christie, and Graham and fellow travelers out of the race? If Trump were out now, the next target would be Cruz.

"...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.

[Starstruck]

Watch it. You are going to upset the Trumpeter Swoons.

Keep in mind:

Survey Monkey is an online polling outfit. They surveyed some 3500 of their 3 million
online participants. The real question is does this process reach the same standards
as the other polling entities? We don’t know but Survey Monkey says it does.

29% surveyed say that Trump lost the debate, while 18% say that Trump won the debate, for a negative 11% for Trump.

That, combined with what appears to be an unshakeable level of support for Trump, speaks unequivocally about what Republican voters think of the "debate". No-one cares who does well in a ridiculous pseudo-debate moderated by gossiping 12-year old girls (or their adult equivalents).

Trump “lost” the debate but won the poll. That’s got to have the gopE scratching their heads.

Those who advise and run focus groups should be worried. I can just see Bush running around screaming “Get me Luntz on the phone, damn it!”

[VerySadAmerican]

“He’s busy? Well, get me someone while I’m waiting!”

[catnipman]

Fiorini “won”? Ridiculous. It’s essentially impossible to compare these two independent debates in a meaningful way, any more than it makes sense to compare the annual apple harvest to the annual orange harvest.

It’s not possible to legitimately lump these two debates together, since you can poll only those who watched both debates, which of course excludes the great bulk of those who skipped the kiddie debate and watched only the REAL debate, not to mention so few people watched the kiddie debate anyway.

To even pretend Fiorini “won” the debate shows you just how desperate the media and the D.C. insiders are to nuke Trump, because they both know neither will be able to buy, intimidate, or control him in any way if he becomes President.
