An outlier poll was just included in the average at Real Clear Politics that has distorted the pull back for Trump. Every poll but Bloomberg had Trump still in the mid to high 20’s. The Bloomberg one has him at 21% and that exagerated the small drop Trump had after the 2nd debate.
The last poll taken before the 2nd debate was CBS/NYT
it had Trump at 27%
in the 4 polls taken since then Trump has had:
24%, 25%, 21%, and 26%.
The 21% is the outlier Bloomberg poll. The others are all withing the margin of error.
So yes, Trumps numbers did dip a little from the high 20’s to the mid 20’s, but he is still about 3 times higher than the media dubbed presumtive nominee “Bush”
Meanwhile Carley who did get a small bounce from the debate is already seeing it fade and is back into single digits.
I can’t disagree with any of your comments. And, as you point out and the MSM doesn’t seem to notice, the Carly Debate Bounce appears to be fading fast. I hope it continues.
Telling Michael Bloomberg what he wants to hear and likely shaded for that result.
Even if true, the only relevant measure is his LEAD over #2. It was 6 points just before the debate. Where is it today?
