Two polls came out today. One in Donald Trump's home State of New York another in the Sate of Washington. In New York, Trump garners just 25% of the vote and in Washington State, just 24%. At this rate of decline in polling numbers, there may be a serious effort by Donald Trump to fall below the 15% threshold, thereby removing his qualification to be on the debate stage in late September. That's not my opinion, mind you, but there are some people who say that.

I actually saw a Johnson yard sign today in a yard that had previously sported a Trump sign.
