A new poll of Iowa voters shows that voters felt less comfortable about Donald Trump being a candidate for president after watching the Fox News debate last Thursday.
Fifty-five percent of respondents who watched the debate said they felt less comfortable about Trump after the debate, but 41 percent said that it either made no difference or they were actually more comfortable with Trump as a candidate.
The Iowa poll of Republican voters was published today by Suffolk University.
Likewise, 54 percent thought that the Fox News moderators did not target Trump unfairly, while 40 percent thought that they did.
