Media STUNNED: Trump Poll #s SKYROCKET Following Debate Performance
Posted on August 10, 2015 by DCWhispers
They are now calling him “Teflon Don” – a nod to Donald Trump’s remarkable ability to plow through negative media coverage and inexplicably garner even more support among American voters. Now a just-released Morning Consult poll shows Mr. Trump’s approval rating jumping to 32% from 25% just last week.
Perhaps even more remarkable is Mr. Trump’s favorable ratings also improved from 57 to 62 percent despite an all-out media attack against the New York billionaire following his remarks directed at Fox News in general and Megyn Kelly in particular that indicated his belief the debate moderators were at times clearly out to damage his campaign. Donald Trump’s approval rating is now equal to that of Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker and Ben Carson COMBINED.
Apparently a considerable number of viewers agreed with Mr. Trump’s assessment as indicated by his rise in the polls despite what many view as an average-at-best debate performance. Fox News is said to have received tens of thousands of social media comments outraged by the network’s treatment of Trump and some of the other outside the GOP mainstream debate participants.
This backlash was apparently enough to get the attention of Fox News president Roger Ailes who is said to have called Mr. Trump to assure the Republican candidate he would personally make certain the network would treat his campaign fairly.
If true, it is a remarkable show of strength not only by Donald Trump, but millions of interested American voters who have apparently had quite enough media manipulation being served up to them each election cycle…
