Do you think Trump lost any significant support post-him being his unhinged self?

I ask because when we bought our house a month ago, there were two houses with Trump signs in the yard in our little neighborhood. Now, it's down to one.

I wonder if that one neighbor went out and kicked down his sign after that embarrassing fiasco of a performance by tRump.

however, I think people who were flirting with Johnson and Stein may start to come to HRC. I think Trump is stuck around 42%

I let her go on knowing she's a die in the wool, Republican in fact her whole family is. She said Trump is an idiot and her father a retired businessman, formerly an early supporter said he can't vote for Trump. They were scared of what he represents. While they don't like Hillary, they said she is the only person now that they can vote for that is capable. They bemoaned the fact that he was able to overpower all the other candidates. I encouraged her to talk with her other friends.

Of undecided voters... those who might have split 50/50...I think he lost at least 15 percent of that to make it 2/3 for Clinton and one third for him..and that is very important in my opinion.
That debate showed how ..your word ....unhinged".. he really is..

of support to process how a candidate for President can be so disconnected from reality. Burger flippers are thinking, "Good God, that guy would get fired if he was our French fry cook." And then they had to go back to work the next morning knowing the biggest asshole has the most money.

Imagine the spike in Obamacare costs if we let the next two debates go forward.

We moved to NC from NJ in late June and I immediately noticed 2 Trump signs on lawns in my neighborhood. They were there until last weekend. I see them every day when I walk the dog. Yesterday I noticed they were both gone but didn't think much of it other than perhaps they were taken down to mow the lawn or something. Now I am wondering if they were too embarrassed to leave them up.

I don't think there's any undecided voters. If you haven't made up your mind by now you never will. 4 types of people, Hillary voters Trump voters, independent voters and non voters.

in Manhattan and still getting the votes.

His supporters don't care. They do not look for a rational or capable candidate.
