At Fox News, "Fox News Poll: Shakeup in GOP field after first debate, Sanders gains on Clinton":
The explosive first Republican debate has shaken up the 2016 GOP presidential race....The raw internals are here.
Businessman Donald Trump still leads the field for the Republican nomination. He gets 25 percent among GOP primary voters. He was at 26 percent before the debate. Trump’s support among women went from 24 percent two weeks ago to 21 percent now. He mostly held steady among men (28 percent).
The real-estate mogul maintains his first-place status despite also being judged in the poll as having the worst debate performance and being considered the least likeable Republican candidate. More on that later.
The August 6 Republican presidential debate was hosted by Fox News Channel in Cleveland. Several of the exchanges at the debate remained in the news for days after.
Fox does telephone sampling, so the findings here at the closest to the 29 percent in the Echelon Insights poll from Wednesday. See, "Wham!! New Echelon Insights Poll Has Donald Trump at 29 Percent, Soaring Over GOP Field!"
Trump's lead is no fluke. Let's see how long he can hold it. So far nothing --- no so-called "gaffes" or controversies --- seem to be slowing him down.
