The recent Republican presidential debate held at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California experienced a decline in ratings, as many Republican voters chose not to watch, favoring the frontrunner, Donald Trump. According to POLITICO, only 9.5 million viewers tuned in, marking a significant 27 percent decrease compared to the previous debate, which garnered approximately 13 million viewers.

This decline can be attributed, in part, to President Trump's speech to auto workers in Clinton Township, Michigan, which coincided with the debate. By engaging in this counterprogramming strategy, President Trump effectively diverted attention away from his competitors, as he previously did by conversing with conservative host Tucker Carlson during the inaugural debate.

Notably, President Trump's campaign has now expressed his intention to abstain from the upcoming GOP debate scheduled for November 8th, requesting the Republican National Committee (RNC) to suspend the event altogether, given his significant lead.

The latest data aggregated by FiveThirtyEight reveals that President Trump enjoys a staggering 54 percent support from the Republican base, while his rivals lag far behind. Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida commands 13.8 percent support, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy from Ohio holds 6.3 percent, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley from South Carolina has garnered 6.2 percent, and former Vice President Mike Pence secures 4.6 percent of the base.
