CBS has produced another poll [DATA HERE] just ahead of the first-loser GOPe debate in Wisconsin. President Trump, with 62% support, holds a whopping 46-point lead in the 2024 GOP primary election, as Ron DeSantis continues to collapse in national and early state polls.
For the billionaire Wall Street donors, multinationals and corporate funders of the DeSantis campaign, the scale of epic fail is off the charts. Never before have so few given so much for so little. It pains Margaret Brennan to pretend so much. WATCH:
.
[Transcript – MARGARET BRENNAN: We turn now to the 2024 campaign and our new CBS News poll shows former President Trump with his biggest lead yet this cycle with support of 62 percent of Republican primary voters surveyed. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has dropped since our last survey. He’s now at 16 percent. And the rest of the field remains in single digits as most of them prepare for the primary debate coming up later this week.
Our elections and surveys director Anthony Salvanto is here with us.
Anthony, it’s great to see you in person.
ANTHONY SALVANTO: Good to see you.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So, does it matter to these primary voters if Donald Trump is on that stage or not?
ANTHONY SALVANTO: Well, he’s not in a competitive race right now. Right now they would nominate him and it would be not close. It would be an easy win for him.
Look, you know, there’s a couple of dynamics here going on for those who do debate that I think even underpin him more, and that is, when we ask voters, what do you want to hear in this debate, you get this lopsided number that wants the other candidates, make the case for yourselves, but don’t criticize Donald Trump. It was poultry, 9 percent, that wants to hear critiques. And that puts the other candidates in a box.
MARGARET BRENNAN: It dynamic with Donald Trump is always different, isn’t it?
So, have the indictments that he has had to date impacted him in any way?
ANTHONY SALVANTO: He’s held steady. His lead, as you said at the top, is even bigger as the rest of the field has fallen back.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So it sounds like no.
ANTHONY SALVANTO: It — the answer is no, but it’s – it’s also underpinning him in some way in this regard.
He is, when we ask, why are you supporting Donald Trump? Well, among other reasons, his voters say, it’s to support him during his legal fights, to show that – that support.
MARGARET BRENNAN: It’s helping him.
ANTHONY SALVANTO: So, in that regard, it does help him, or at least it – it girds that support from his – his substantial base.
Well, the other part of this, though, if we unpack it is, why. And you see a couple things. One is that they reject the premise of these indictments because, a, they say they’re politically motivated, and that swamps any other concerns, number one. We’ve seen that throughout all the indictments. Number two, they say that, well, if Donald Trump tried to stay in office, they feel it was through legal and constitutional means. That’s different from other Americans who think it was illegal. But for Republicans, the reason they feel that way, is that so many of them still buy what Trump was talking about in terms of a fraudulent election, those unfounded, unproven claims. But Republicans believe that. So, that’s how that narrative then forms that – that buttress against what’s coming at him in the indictments.
Finally, though, I’ve got to add this for a larger context, and that is, Republicans, to a larger degree, see the U.S. political system, they tell us, as corrupt. Now, a lot of people think it’s dysfunctional, but Republicans in particular think it’s – think it’s corrupt.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Right.
ANTHONY SALVANTO: Well, what that does is, it sets up Trump for them as the honest broker for them against that system. In fact, he’s winning among people who want an honest candidate. They see him as the truth teller.
MARGARET BRENNAN: That’s a fascinating dynamic. So, for everyone else who has to show up at that debate stage, how do they differentiate themselves?
ANTHONY SALVANTO: Well, I think there’s one possible opening between the – the — what people say they’re hearing and what they want to hear. And it’s this. Republican voters tell us they’re hearing a lot about Donald Trump. Now, he’s the frontrunner, but they don’t all want to hear that in part because of all the indictment news.
But what they want to hear about is the economy. Specifically, about plans to help lower inflation, to help the economy. And in that way, they’re just like all American voters it at this point, right? They care about, how does the price of eggs come down? How do they get to – to buy a house if they’re trying to?
MARGARET BRENNAN: They want more policy. That’s interesting.
Anthony, this is fascinating.
And you can find the full poll results on our website at cbsnews.com.
We’ll be back in a moment.
Its all fake and gay
If it wasn’t he wouldn’t work for CBS!
This is going to be known as the time in history when mankind had to fight off the morons who tried to seize power.
The results are in. The morons are in power.
Put a red nose on him and he is a perfect clown.
Agree with this. And I couldn’t take my eyes off Margaret’s raccoon eyes pancake makeup. What a performance.
When does the RNC implement the mercy rule?
They have none.
They get none.
Can you feel the air taken out of all these people at once.
The forlorn stage of lonely losers.
So cringe!!
Smell fear in the morning, at night and all damn day long.
Botox Ronna thinks all is fine.
She (Ronna) has a fat lip. It looks like a fake, glowing night crawler. The kind you use for fishing. What the hell is wrong with these fake people.
.
Out at third mention of Trump, Obama, Bush , Clinton.
Honestly believe the most merciful event would be to cancel it altogether . . .
1 % why even bother?
Playing their tiny roles in the get Trump theater.
Being paid, and extorted, to humiliate themselves.
These fools have always been shameless.
They read their lines on teleprompters and they never really know what they are saying. But when they have to turn out the lights, the party is over.
Well, 1% is light years ahead of where Kamala Harris was in the 2020 dem primary, and now she’s VP. I guess that’s what’s giving the first losers hope – that they’re not grasping at straws.
The difference here is President Trump would never pick from among this list of losers and backstabbers.
1% of a billion dollars is still a lot of money. It’s the grifter lifestyle.
🤣 🤣 🤣
A lot more than my wife has ever won in 35 years of playing the lottery. 🙂
They’re not there to win. They’re there to attack Trump. Desantis is the anointed one but he doesn’t know how to campaign or appear authentic.
I doubt they even care about stopping Trump. A lot of these clowns run in order to pump money into the grifter class of which they are members.
Its going to be hilarious when they attack Trump. WE ARE TRUMP. They will also be attacking us.
I want the RNC to crash and burn, and all the RINO’s dropped in Ukraine so Putin can massacre them!
-TKO-
Perfect for DeSantis
And as the losers take the debate stage they hear outside the roar of the crowd shouting:
TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!TRUMP!TRUMP!TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!TRUMP!
USA!USA!USA!USA!USA!USA! USA!USA!USA!USA!USA!USA!USA! USA!USA!USA!
ALL THE WAY! ALL THE WAY! ALL THE WAY! ALL THE WAY!ALL THE WAY!
TO THE WHITE HOUSE!TO THE WHITE HOUSE!TO THE WHITE HOUSE!
“LET’S GO BRANDON!”
Let’s see PDJT isn’t here so it’s let’s all pile on Ramalangadingdong time.
Like you said, LOSERS.
Yeeeessssss!!!!!
I predict that by Thursday morning meatball will be known as
Ron The Master DeBater
🤔😂
Ewwww…
Where’s that picture of the scowling girl and cat when you need it?
Oh, Betsy . . . where art thou?
He could use the Beach Boys in his campaign- Help Me Rhonda
Meatball is now written with a capital M. Just saying
So Trump has a massive lead in polls of likely GOP primary voters.
Let’s do a different poll.
Who believes there will be an honest vote tabulation in the Republican state primaries? Because it’s highly doubtful.
You got to wonder if Brian Kemp is teaching them all how to cheat.
I didn’t know they had to be taught. I thought they knew how the rig would be going into it.
See, the thing is, a lot of the actual, get your hands dirty kind of work, to put on a primary, isn’t done by high ups in the State party, its delegated down to precinct captain and district level.
Oops, thats mostly MAGA territory,..as all the Rinos in many State parties have been bagged, tagged and run out.
I think, if they do, we have a MAGA Party that will destroy the Repugs. They are really afraid of that happening, so we will make it happen.
CAN YOU HEAR US NOW?!?!
Notice how she phrased it: “They want policy”…..kind’a vague. Like here’s an opening for the others to generalize their policy.
At this stage we want Trump because we know PDJT’s policies work for Americans. Not for Ukraine, not for the EU & not for the politicians and the so called elites.
FJB, BHO & Asoc……😉🇺🇸
“Narrative of a fraudulent election based on unfounded claims.” You mean the unfounded claims like going to bed with Trump winning in a landslide and waking up in the morning with vote counting suspended in every single swing state. Then watching his lead evaporate defying all the laws of Statistical Analysis. And even having to stomach the abject insult to our intelligence of multiple 100,000 ballot drops with only 2 or 3 votes for President Trump. And to rub our noses in it, the gall of Fulton County Georgia (America’s Shit-Hole!) to submit 100,000 “Military” ballots with ZERO VOTES FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP.
The “smart people” know better…This clown thinks only Trump’s rubes “buy” his claims of fraud? Only the dolts tuning into CBS buy the claim of “unfounded.”
I DIDN’T GO TO BED! They did it right before our eyes, especially in GA! Just like President Trump said…he was
way ahead, they closed down for a little while and WHAM…all of a sudden SO MANY extra votes for Biden.
Six states did that!
I stayed up with you.
I was awake and watched it happen…
At this point I don’t give a $#!t about Trump’s policies. Only one thing matters to me: President Donald J Trump gets his revenge by driving a stake through the heart of the Deep State globalists. And the WEF maybe another stake for the WEF.
They pretend President Trump hasn’t already outlined how to decrease inflation, among other things, that voters want to hear, both during his presidency and in his campaign speeches, and on his official website.
They want to re-invent the wheel! Wheeeee!!!!!
(Sorry I just can’t bear to listen to Brennan but thanks for doing that for us.)
Funny how they always talk about “unproven” claims and invariably forget to mention that they never had a chance in Court to prove them.
They talk about everything as though it was there idea and he hasn’t already done it.
Well, I understand Jack will get to have a chance in court to prove the election was not rigged; to prove the election was not stolen. That should be interesting.
What will these idiots then say? Well, we can’t prove the claims are false and we can’t prove the election results are true, but Trump is a liar, liar, pants on fire! Hang him with the bugged telephone wire!
Citing “Legendary” 46 Point Polling Lead, Trump Makes it Official: “I WILL THEREFORE NOT BE DOING THE DEBATES!”–Plural
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/08/citing-legendary-46-point-polling-lead-trump-makes/
I’m so grateful to be alive to see this moment.
They have no effective countermove, and that makes them dangerous.
Chuck Todd of all people, asked Big Rob the best question a couple of weeks ago. “If you are going to be the nominee, you are going to have to win over the Trump people. How are you going to do that? 😂😂😂😂😂
Response – spinning ball…..
Oh yeah, he had nothing. And the best thing was how much Chuck was enjoying torturing him.
Good for F Cuck, possibly the only person, being 5′ 3″, that can look up to Rob.
LOLOL!
Call them listless vessels of course. 😂
Vessels shouldn’t have a list, in other words, they should be rather listless. So didn’t the Navy teach Ron anything?
But he does have lisp.
NO, not much….he was an officer that did paperwork!
The Navy guys that did the real work was/are the enlisted sailors!
That is listless deplorable vessels to you Zoe. 🙂
I guess his answer is call them names. Tell them they’re listless vessels and that they’re following behind Trumps butt. And that will win them over, for sure! Okay Gomer Pyle!
By calling them “listless vessels” that’s how!
I recall a few years back when Sundance opined that Trump had the grassroots support to start his own MAGA Party. Boy has that prediction come to pass! It’s such a beautiful thing to behold. God bless Donald Trump and his family.
Nothing better than a hostile takeover of a hostile takeover.
Anthony seemed to be smearing alot of lipstick on that Report to dress it up for Brennan as best as he could. He tried with his quote midway that so many of his supporters “ still buy what Trump was talking about in terms of a fraudulent election , those unfounded , unproven claims .” But when he said “Republicans see the political system as corrupt “ …. and “ they see him as the truth teller ..”(!) …was there an audible gasp from Brennan or was that from her off camera producers? Just asking.
PDJT announces that he will not be doing the debates!!
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/08/citing-legendary-46-point-polling-lead-trump-makes/
Trump’s statement posted to Truth Social, “New CBS POLL, just out, has me leading the field by “legendary” numbers. TRUMP 62%, 46 Points above DeSanctimonious (who is crashing like an ailing bird!), Ramaswamy 7%, Pence 5%, Scott 3%, Haley 2%, Sloppy Chris Christie 2%, “Aida” Hutchinson 1%. The public knows who I am & what a successful Presidency I had, with Energy Independence, Strong Borders & Military, Biggest EVER Tax & Regulation Cuts, No Inflation, Strongest Economy in History, & much more. I WILL THEREFORE NOT BE DOING THE DEBATES!”
WINNING!!!
“…so many of them still buy what Trump was talking about in terms of a fraudulent election, those unfounded, unproven claims.”
They talk about President Trump’s supporters as if we are a strangely deluded minority who just can’t accept the truth.
Kinda like those wokesters who can’t believe chromosomes define sex.
The level of dissonance is breathtaking.
“Strangely deluded minority ” Maybe kemp will whisper this into Rob ear. He’s just dumb enough to repeat it on LIVE TV..😃
Well…we’re only about 100 million strong and rising daily!
We are not “listless”, “deplorable” or any other juvenile name the Marxist Satanists come up with. We are the majority in the USA. 100 million are making their voices known, but another 100 million are sitting quietly on the sidelines. The rest are innocent children that we need to save and protect. Our opposition is a small percentage of mentally ill, psychopaths that we will defeat by the Grace of God. MAGA – TRUMP2024
The flip side of that coin is their “settled science.”
BUT…WE KNOW THE TRUTH!!! STOLEN ELECTION!
“They talk about President Trump’s supporters as if we are a strangely deluded minority who just can’t accept the truth.”
They can speak of us as “deluded”, but the real delusion is thinking President Trump’s overwhelming majority 62% support is a minority who cannot grasp whatever “truth of the day” is peddled out against President Trump.
And they’re teaching that kind of “math” in the schools today…sheesh..
So much for Trump being unelectable….
One thing they don’t seem to understand about President Trump’s personality is he says what WE are thinking and he’s BRUTAL about saying it clearly! They hate that. And they hate that he tells the truth.
Yes, he’s bombastic – but we love that about him! He’s RIGHT and he’s been RIGHT all along. Wait long enough and you’ll find out that the most outrageous things he’s said – were RIGHT!
If President Trump started a new political party, the air would be sucked out of the room, and the people left standing would be naked…
He is starting a new political party…paying attention?
First impression.
Anthony looks an awful lot like Dylan Mulvany’s non-drag persona.
Looks like a good companion for the CBS Elf Catherine Herridge.
😂😂😂

Second place is just the first loser (popular nascar driver quote)

This is for all the professional pundits, prognosticators and mini-potentates out there.
President Trump’s support is growing daily. We know that. We don’t need or want your stinkin’ debate, your opinions, prognostications, polls, or projections. We would rather you be unemployed.
Debates? We don’t need no stinking debates!
Here’s another poll that has him polling even higher.

Are Brennan and Salvato admitting POTUS Shit-for-Brains is the reason we’re having inflation?
Sounds like it.
Congrats ALL! Way to throw sand in their gears.
Every time I see the polls going higher and higher and higher I remember back to how they tho’t they had crushed us/him on J6. They were giddy and gleeful and beaming from ear to ear with joy.
Not so much after all you highly overpaid, overpimped and overbotoxed idiots.

There is an interesting dynamic in the reported polling.
When billionaire capital is at stake the polls appear to be more legitimate.
When ordinary citizens preferences are involved the polling results appear to be as fraudulent as a three dollar bill.
Oh I love that picture, He looks so good and other men should look like him in that jacket with the lightening behind him.
Thanks to who ever does this These pictures are the greatest.
I am hoping that all the pretenders and Wall Street GOPe donors continue to spend millions and millions trying to find a poll, any poll to justify their contempt for the majority of America that supports DJT. MAGA is going to hit them across the chops come Nov/2024 as they wander around in bewilderment as to why they could have been so wrong for so long. Keep on throwing your money into that dark pit, maybe it will be warming but mostly it will be like emptying the Atlantic with a plastic bucket, no matter how much you believe it helps, it is a waste of time and energy.
What would be good is another movie to follow-up on the child trafficking and the demonic possession movies of late. We could use the story of Joseph Goebbels on the silver screen. WWII Germany would not have happened without him.
I happened to stumble upon a local CBS newscast the other night when a script reader said “Trump repeated lies about..” “reporting” that determines who knows the truth-Pravda! Maha-Rushie called it out long ago: CBS, NBS and ABS.
Oy vey! Sunday talk shows no way. I am MAGA forever til we get our real President Donald Trump back in the White House
How about we remember how it was during his four years compare to now? He’s done it before and therefore there is no reason he can’t do it again.
Simple, really.
What “The Media Pretenders” fail to see is we are not their classic GOPe “Republicans” that the Snews Media used to influence by propaganda.
It is clear that they do not understand nor do they like us MAGA, America First Trump supporters.
We are just a basket of “Listless Deplorables” that just won’t conform to or follow their 🐴💩 like has been done in the past.
The major cable and broadcast Snews networks that used to set the narrative and pick the Uniparty candidates (winners and losers) are no longer able to control the Trump base and they know it. But the pretending of the clowns 🤡 continues.
Because they do not know what else to do.
They’re going to push RamaSWAMPY now.
McConnells buddy.
it won’t matter.
I think Vivek is gonna try for VP……Wait and see if he doesn’t try praising Trump more!
Except Vivek is not eligible to run for either part of the ticket.
Neither is Nimrata.
That didn’t stop Obama, did it?
The POTUS debates have always been a sham.
So have the vote totals on Election Day.
JFK is not available for comment.
Kemp needs to implode… He’s a cancer to our great State of Georgia.
Kemp is going to find out the hard way who is the King-Maker and it ain’t Brian Kemp.
Research his Southern family background.
It’s not a pretty thing.
RDS is at 42% of the not Trump vote. He can’t even get a majority that.
It was poultry, 9 percent, that wants to hear critiques.
Don’t you love auto correct?
Auto-Smell stinks.
A paltry portion of poultry prefers performative pricks.
From the poll:
[A] whopping nine in 10 GOP primary voters want the other candidates to focus on making the case for themselves, but not against Trump.
So good luck with that sly Trump-clips-as-targets vendetta, Fox.
It’ll be Breakout City for sure.
Christie won’t be able to utter a word if he can’t run down President Trump…..
That would be a neat trick for the outlaw Jersey whale to perform, can’t say a word minus food in his mouth.
The fake media just don’t want to admit the truth. They say that we are essentially buying what Trump is selling, which could not be further from the truth. I like to say Trump agrees with me… we both see the same thing. My eyes were opened to the fake news in the late 80’s, while I saw how the “news” was covered for candidates for governor, etc. The other aspect is voting is really hiring someone. For me Trump wants to accomplish the things I want done and he has one the greatest track records at getting things done even while being opposed by his own party. Imagine what he can do if he actually has some real support.
We’ve all stated it numerous times, but I can’t thank Sundance enough. I would wonder and wonder why the GOP talking heads year after year could never get the message right, could never find succinct words to explain the kitchen table needs of the vast majority of Americans. Never nailed a debate. Regan talked about larger issues. But the mainstream GOP chose not to make the succinct argument, they will not talk in brass tacks terms. No Will Rogers moments because the donor class they’re beholden too won’t let them and they are simply front men. Utterly disgraceful men and women.
My new favorite pretending phrase is when they refer to whoever is 46 points behind as being “in second place”…lol.
Hokkoda: 46% down, but not as close as it appears.
Almost nobody voting in the 2024 primaries is waking in that booth and voting for DeSantis, Pence, Swamy, Christie, etc. it’ll be a party atmosphere complete with parades of people voting Trump.
In a track meet run the winner is crossing the finish line, as the rest of the runners are all bunched up, 10 feet out from the starting line.
Does it really matter who is in the front of that pack of losers?
Math is not Jake Tapper’s strong point.
Trump is whole grain ………… the rest …………. just chaff.
When ankle biters attack…

“Never before have so few given so much for so little.” Not sure about that. how much did Clinton Inc rake in including foreign donations on 2016. My theory is that they had been paid so much, clinton inc. needed an excuse to keep the funding, hence muh rusha.
How many on that debate stage are going to rubber stamp Pence’s endorsement of the electoral votes and his phony reasons for selling this Country down the drain? Because the question will come up. How many besides DeSantis are going to state there was no election fraud, that Trump lost and will anyone counter that? How many lies about Trump is Christie planning to tell with no one to challenge him? Gonna be an ugly lie fest. Smart for everyone to stay away in droves.
Kemp thinks he’s gonna be Desantis VP. Keep dreamin’ Pal!
Kemp may still try to run for president! There was talk not too long ago about him getting in!
Hilarious! They find it FASCINATING that votersdon’t want to hear about personalities, they want to hear about,…of all things ECONOMIC POLICY, just fascinating, LOL.
Sundance and Joe Rogan have both made the argument it can ONLY be PDJT in 2024, BECAUSE of his ,…ECONOMIC POLICY.
Sure likes that word “underpinning” does Anthony.
She thinks its a “fascinating dynamic” (and obviously thinks its bizarre!) that “these Republican voters” actually believe our political system is (can you believe that THEY believe this?!!) CORRUPT, and see PDJT as an honest Broker.
And what? The Indictments are not only not hurting him, they are actually,..HELPING him as people sympathisewith his unjust treatment. How utterly bizarre and fascinating, Anthony.
So glad it is your people, that interact with these strange creatures, these Maga Republicans, so I don’t have to!
What strange, unwarranted beliefs they harbor!!
Wish these media cretins were the Martians in “Mars Attacks!” Implode, already…
Yes Dutchman, we are a “Listless basket of Deplorables” that the cocktail/dinner party elites just don’t understand.
Anthony, why don’t these strange MAGA people listen to our propaganda anymore?
… a “Listless basket of irredeemable Deplorables”. Fixed it for ya, coalman. 😉👍
Cannot forget that word “irredeemable” the Screecher emphasized. Badge of Honor here – irredeemably MAGA.
DeSantis distanced himself from a debate preparation memo that was leaked to the press earlier this week that apparently came from a political action committee that supports his 2024 presidential bid.
Mr. DeSantis told Fox News on Saturday that “the memo is not mine” and that “I haven’t read it.” Elaborating, “It’s just something that we have and put off to the side,” he said.
Typical response. Disingenuous
https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/desantis-fires-back-after-debate-preparation-memo-leaks-to-media-5477323
Too late, he’s pissed off Trump’s voters.
Weak idiot.
These people live in the Swamp Bubble. They can pretend they don’t understand how Trump is winning, but they know. Anyone with more than half a brain knows. What they try not to reveal is how Trump’s popularity scares the hell out of them.
Exactly.
