Nearly 9-in-10 in Fox News poll won’t watch GOP debate

A new Fox News poll indicates the network’s viewers don’t plan on tuning in Thursday night to watch the seventh Republican debate.

Nearly 9-in-10 respondents — 87 percent — of those polled on Greta Van Susteren’s subpage said they do not plan to watch the debate. The survey was posted Wednesday afternoon and has received 31,000 responses since then.

The low expected turn-out rate for the primetime showdown on Fox may be a result of Donald Trump’s absence from the event. The Manhattan billionaire announced Tuesday that he would forgo the event to host a fundraiser for wounded veterans. C-SPAN confirmed it will broadcast the event.
