In the first poll to show troubles from his debate performance, Donald Trump has tumbled from 26 percent to 17 percent, with insurgent Republican business leader Carly Fiorina skyrocketing into third place.
Rasmussen Reports said that Trump remains the leader of the GOP pack, but his support has fallen by more than a third over the past week-and-a-half.
Fiorina, on the back of her strong “happy hour” pre-debate last week, has surged to near the top. She is third in the new poll at 9 percent, even with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and virtually tied with Bush and just behind Florida Sen. Marco Rubio who are slightly ahead at 10 percent.
