The “Trumpkins,” as Brit Hume called them yesterday, aren’t gonna like this new polling about the Donald losing more support than he ever has in a one-week period.
A Reuters poll released Friday finds that GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump has dropped 12 points in less than a week, his largest single poll-to-poll drop since he took the primary lead in July.
Trump was still the favorite among 31 percent of Republicans in a rolling Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted from Nov. 23 to Nov. 27, but down from 43 percent support registered on Nov. 22.
The downtrend comes after a week of controversial comments he made about Muslims living in America, suggesting he would “surveil” mosques to root out domestic terrorist plots.
He also suggested a registered database for U.S. Muslims, which drew comparisons to Nazi Germany’s mandatory registration of Jews.Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson also fell but finished second in the poll with 15 percent support.
Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) tie for third with 8 percent support each. Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush comes in fifth with 7 percent support.
I dunno.. it really sounds to me like this Reuters poll is from a bunch of total losers and complete haters who just want to help Hillary and Rubio bring in more Mexican Syrian refugees. I would ignore this poll because it doesn’t confirm what I want to hear. That’s all polls are for, really…
