Three things about that NBC/Survey Monkey poll.
Number one, which should give Reince Priebus permanent heartburn:
54% of Trump supporters said that if Trump didn’t get the Republican nomination and ran as as independent, they would vote for him.
2. Less than 50% of those polled watched any of the debates (18% watched both; 2% watched the “kiddie debate”, 21% watched the main debate.)
3. So their “who won the debates” question was based on ” From what you have heard and read, who do you think won or did the best job in the Republican debates?”
What a bunch of hooey.
