Rove: Some Evidence in Polling Trump ‘Has Peaked and Begun To Decline’

‘If you look at it from a month ago, at CNN he’s down six — interestingly also Ben Carson is down five, the person who went up more than anybody else is Carly Fiorina’

ROVE: "Well, I think it began several weeks ago when he made his originals comments about Fiorina saying, “Look at that face, look at that face,” the interview that will that will be print indeed “Rolling Stone.” I think it sort of begin to depict them, and we do have some evidence in this poll and there are some evidence in private polling that he has peaked and begun to decline. If you look at it from a month ago, at CNN he’s down six. Interestingly also Ben Carson is down five, the person who went up more than anybody else is Carly Fiorina, followed by Marco Rubio, who has gained eight points in the last month. So, yes, I do think it’s begun to fade. He’s not going to disappear. He’s going to continue to be a presence. Let’s just remember, we’re at the beginning of this process. As of now in 2012, Rick Perry was ahead at 29.9 percent. We had seven more lead before it finally settled on Mitt Romney on February 28th of 2012. That’s when the voting began in January. Now, it’s going to begin in February. If we have the same kind of situation where the lead goes back and forth, it will be March or April before we settle on the nominee."
