Republican Trump Drops 12 Percentage Points In Poll: Reuters/Ipsos

Source: Reuters

U.S. presidential hopeful Donald Trump's support among Republicans has dropped 12 points in less than a week, marking the real estate mogul's biggest decline since he vaulted to the top of the field in July, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.

Trump was the favorite of 31 percent of Republicans in a rolling poll in the five days ended on Nov. 27. That was down from a peak of 43 percent registered on Nov. 22.

The dip follows criticism of Trump for comments he made in the aftermath of the Nov. 13 Paris attacks that killed 130 people and wounded hundreds more.

Following the attacks, Trump told an NBC News reporter that he would support requiring all Muslims within the United States to be registered to a special database, which his critics have likened to the mandatory registration of Jews in Nazi Germany.

His followers seem to be OK with beating up minorities in the streets and at his rallies, but even they have some limits, apparently.

But yeah, we kinda knew Rump would self-destruct. I mean, his whole stump speech has been, "I'm great. I'm gonna build a wall on the Mexican border and charge the Mexican government for it...I'm gonna get lots of good people in there. Stupid people have been running it. I'm great. I'm gonna get great people and make America great again..."

In all seriousness, though, Trump was waking up a sort of neo-Nazi mentality and it was getting scary. He's not out of the race yet, but I'm happy to see him going down. He's WAY to extreme to become president of the US.

the dumpster. Carson's not doing very well at this point either, so he went to Syria "to speak with the refugees."

The Republican Party outreach campaign to minority voters seems to be under considerable strain these days.

It will be very interesting to see the polls after he reprehensibly mocked the NYT reporter. I can't believe that anyone could vote for him after that. Just a scumbag.

Look again if you didn't see it. She laughs. Then looks one way and then looks the other. Not sure it it was appropriate to laugh at him. It says a lot about his supporters.

not to mention, as someone so wisely stated:



Sadly, he could be turning down the same road Reagan took, dementia. His behavior is rather familiar from the neurologist's perspective, I suspect.
