Businessman <culink class="culinks" culang="en" href="http://curiyo.com/en/topic/Donald Trump" title="" style="border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dashed; cursor: help; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 155, 255) !important;">Donald Trump</culink> continues to lead the Republican field in Iowa, a new <culink class="culinks" culang="en" href="http://curiyo.com/en/topic/Suffolk University" title="" style="border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dashed; cursor: help; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 155, 255) !important;">Suffolk University</culink>Poll finds, but his performance in last week's opening debate has dented his standing among GOP partisans and cost him some ground in the state that will hold the first presidential contest next year.
Also hit: Former Florida governor <culink class="culinks" culang="en" href="http://curiyo.com/en/topic/Jeb Bush" title="" style="border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dashed; cursor: help; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 155, 255) !important;">Jeb Bush</culink>, who sank to seventh place from third in the RealClearPolitics average of Iowa polls over the past month. He now narrowly trails former CEO <culink class="culinks" culang="en" href="http://curiyo.com/en/topic/Carly Fiorina" title="" style="border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dashed; cursor: help; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 155, 255) !important;">Carly Fiorina</culink> in the key early state. Florida <culink class="culinks" culang="en" href="http://curiyo.com/en/topic/Marco Rubio" title="" style="border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dashed; cursor: help; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 155, 255) !important;">Sen. Marco Rubio</culink>scores the biggest boost, rising from eight to third.
The survey of 500 Iowans likely to participate in the Republican caucuses, taken by landline and cell phone from Friday through Monday, is one of the first quantitative measures of the impact of Thursday night’s debate in Cleveland, hosted by Fox News and Facebook. It comes as the repercussions of the encounter, which drew 24 million viewers nationwide, are still being sorted out in a contest where support is scattered.
Indeed, one in five remain undecided in the new Iowa poll. Among those with a preference, Trump leads the field at 17%, followed by Wisconsin Gov. <culink class="culinks" culang="en" href="http://curiyo.com/en/topic/Scott Walker" title="" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dashed; cursor: help; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 155, 255) !important;">Scott Walker</culink>at 12% and Rubio at 10%. The survey's margin of error is plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.
...
The Suffolk survey has warning signs for Trump. By 2-1, 55%-23%, those surveyed say watching Trump in the debate made them feel less comfortable rather than more comfortable with him as a candidate for president. A 54% majority also reject Trump’s complaints that he was treated unfairly by the Fox <culink class="culinks" culang="en" href="http://curiyo.com/en/topic/News presenter" title="" style="border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dashed; cursor: help; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 155, 255) !important;">News anchors</culink> who served as moderators; 41% agree with him.
And a third of Iowa Republicans say Trump — enmeshed in a post-debatecontretemps over his comments about Fox News anchor <culink class="culinks" culang="en" href="http://curiyo.com/en/topic/Megyn Kelly" title="" style="border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dashed; cursor: help; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 155, 255) !important;">Megyn Kelly</culink> — “doesn’t show appropriate respect for women.” A larger number, 46%, side with the real-estate mogul and reality-TV star, saying criticism of his comments about women "are just examples of political correctness."
Then there's this: Trump scores a big lead among those who didn't watch the debate, at 21%, double the standing of retired neurosurgeon <culink class="culinks" culang="en" href="http://curiyo.com/en/topic/Ben Carson" title="" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dashed; cursor: help; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 155, 255) !important;">Ben Carson</culink>, who finishes second at 10%. But among those who watched the debate, Trump does less well, tied with Walker at 14%.
...
Among those who watched the afternoon debate, more than eight in 10 say Fiorina impressed them the most.
Among those who watched the evening debate or highlights from it, nearly one in four say Rubio impressed them the most. Almost many identify Carson as the most impressive.
What moment do they remember most?
...
The standings, in order: Trump, Walker, Rubio, Carson (9%), Texas <culink class="culinks" culang="en" href="http://curiyo.com/en/topic/Ted Cruz" title="" style="border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dashed; cursor: help; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 155, 255) !important;">Sen. Ted Cruz</culink>(7%), Fiorina (7%) and Bush. Ohio Gov. <culink class="culinks" culang="en" href="http://curiyo.com/en/topic/John Kasich" title="" style="border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dashed; cursor: help; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 155, 255) !important;">John Kasich</culink> is at 3%, former Arkansas governor <culink class="culinks" culang="en" href="http://curiyo.com/en/topic/Mike Huckabee" title="" style="border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dashed; cursor: help; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 155, 255) !important;">Mike Huckabee</culink>, Paul and Christie at 2%.
"Thursday's debates breathed life into the campaigns of Rubio, Carson, Fiorina and Cruz," says David Paleologos, director of Suffolk University's Political Research Center. "Prior to the debates, they had little opportunity to compete with Trump's intake of all the political oxygen."
...
When asked for their second choice — a question that helps measure a contender's room to grow as the field winnows — Carson, Rubio and Cruz and Walker were named by at least 10% of those surveyed. Trump was named by 6%.
