Trump remains #1 in Reuters poll after Fox GOP debate. Reuters asks if Trump is making 'a mockery of the political process.' Reuters knows credit for this goes entirely to Fox News and RNC who have carefully scripted every detail of the 'process'

.

8/10/15, "GOP Debate and 2016 Ballots," Ipsos Poll conducted for Reuters. 

Poll dates, Aug. 6-10, 2015, online, 278 R, 111 Indep.

Question 11 on page 7 of the poll was a special group of questions only about Mr. Trump, such as: Do you feel Mr. Trump's participation: 

"Made a mockery of the political process?" 

If "mockery" is happening it's by the RNC and Fox News who designed every detail of the ongoing  "process." At least ten candidates (none Mr. Trump) are key parts of their "process," including Jeb Bush, Jim Gilmore (who is one of the 17 and appeared in the early Fox debate though Reuters doesn't list his name on Question One), Lindsey Graham, Rick Santorum, Mike Huckabee, Carly Fiorina, Kasich, Rick Perry, George Pataki, and Chris Christie. Following are 4 of 6 parts of Question 11 on page 7, asked only about Trump:

"Do you personally agree of disagree that Donald Trump's participation in the (Fox TV) debate..."

1. "Challenged the Establishment?"
2. "Added comedy to an otherwise boring even?" 
3. "Made a mockery of the political process?" 
5. "Meant something offensive was said?"

Reuters poll Question One, p. 1, showed Trump the leader at 24, to the question, "If the 2016 Republican presidential primaries were being held today, for whom of the following would you vote?" (page 1)

It's only one poll, but it's interesting to see some of the questions.
