Its not all bad news for trump. He retains two advantages. The first, Republican Voters see him by almost a 21 margin as the most likely to win the general election next move. And his support is solid. 54 of backers say they wont change their minds. Only 19 of carson voters are that sure. Trumps current level of voter commitment would prove decisive, since so many other candidates are dividing up the remaining votes. Do we love these polls . Somebody said do you love polls . Been winning every single one of them. Right, right . Every single poll. Reporter not anymore.
