Donald Trump remains the leader in the race for the Republican
presidential nomination, but his support has fallen by a third over the
past week-and-a-half. Carly Fiorina is now near the front of the pack.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds Trump with 17% support among Likely Republican Primary Voters, down from 26% in late July before the first GOP debate.
Senator Marco Rubio and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush are in second
place with 10% support each, in a near tie with Fiorina and Wisconsin
Governor Scott Walker who both earn nine percent (9%) of the likely
primary vote.
Next with eight percent (8%) come retired neurologist Dr. Ben Carson and
Senator Ted Cruz at seven percent (7%). (To see survey question

The poll's results mirror findings in a CNN/ORC poll conducted last week showing that Clinton would defeat Trump 56% to 40% and Sanders would top Trump 59% to 38% among registered voters

A Rasmussen poll, yesterday, found that, on a national scale, Trump has fallen from 26% before the debates to 17% after, a fall of 9 points , of course.
