Now, children, calm down. Does anybody think Trump does as well with Likely Voters as he does with Registered Voters? Sure Trump may be high energy, but his base is low information - just the type to be more interested in the theatrics as opposed to the substance, and then fail to do something as boring as going to the polls. Polling stations are not entertainment venues.

I'm looking forward to the next chapter of this drama, when Cruz and Trump claw at each other. That should be happening soon. Smiley
An awful lot of pollsters are gonna be major league putz's, ah sure won't they be the entertainment fodder that Trump is now? Trump actually buys into the polls himself, he's tight fisted and lazy to commission a poll of his own and find out how hard or soft his support is. The polling data is skewered and his support is over inflated. Answer me this question who buy into the polling showing Trump in the lead.  How come the likes of Bush, Fiorina and Rubio are hanging around? Why are they not panicking?  Why is Carson beginning to fade? Why is Trump's support not increasing?  I think his support was like a tsunami, it has a certain shelf life and he like Carson is looking at a situation of diminished returns. The public will grow bored of this Trump fad that is. He served a purpose and the likes of Bush, Rubio and Fiorina will begin to flourish and there rise in the polls will be as inevitable as Trump's fall.
