> I don’t agree, even when the large majority dropped out, all but one didn’t have a double digit polling percentage.
There is literally no point in time when that was true before May 3, when Cruz (the strongest opponent) dropped out because it was mathematically impossible for Trump not to win the nomination, and everyone stopped polling. (Heck, it wasn’t even true in the last major poll which was conducted almost entirely after that point [May 2-8].)
> Even that is miniscule. The 3rd R (when there were 3 remaining) had 6.5% at their peak…
> Trump remained the clear majority, maintaining a 75% majority until the end.
In the last pre-Super Tuesday poll, Kasich was polling at 9%, Rubio at 18%, Cruz at 20%, and Trump at 39%.
Trump’s absolute high point in polling – in that last major poll conducted, again, largely after he had mathematically secured the nomination, was 60%. In the same poll, the #3 Republican (Kasich) was at 13%, the #2 (Cruz) at 21%.
