Look at how the poll was conducted. 2007 adults. Only 1641 are registered voters and of them only 581 are likely to vote in a Republican primary. The poll was conducted February. 12 through 16, so half of it was before Trumps horrible debate meltdown.
What this poll,shows us is that 35% of the adults they called really liked “Celebrity Apprentice.”
Poll never mentions any drops after the 13th. There's also 5 or 6 other polls, post-debate, all saying the same thing too.
Cry. I feed on your tears.
“The poll was conducted February. 12 through 16, so half of it was before Trumps horrible debate meltdown.”
1. Not half, 60%. The two days prior to the debate would not have overridden any negatives that occurred after he debate. There was no fluctuation to amount to anything from polls made prior to the debate.
2. “Meltdown” is a pejorative term used by people who do not like Trump. The average person is honest enough to know that Trump’s anger was justified. As a side note, Jeb! was just as angry, but people didn’t notice. As another side note, Cruz evaded answering some questions, and nobody noticed.
3. There is nothing wrong with being justifiably angered.
Ok, don’t like this poll?
How about Qunnipac which is likely voters polled and shows virtually the same result?
This poll is PRECISELY in line with almost every other poll, including the Q poll and interestingly they ask the same questions and interestingly the answers are quite similar.
People are fed up with DC and anyone associated with DC whether they are "conservative" or not. They have no credibility. That would include Cruz and Rubio.
You can disagree on whether they do, but these polls are quite revealing. All these STUPID endorsements of politicians have been not only useless to Cruz and Rubio, but are actually damning them with association with "the problem."
In retrospect, if I was Cruz's campaign manager, I would have said, "whatever you do don't take and endorsement from ANY politician." Meanwhile Trump gets Palin---who was anything but an insider, and gets people like Kid Rock, etc. all "non pols." It only helps him.
“The poll was conducted February. 12 through 16, so half of it was before Trumps horrible debate meltdown.”
Like all the other ‘horrible meltdowns’ that were going to end his campaign?
Dream on.
