31% : Trump also has talked about dissolving FEMA and sending money directly to states.
27% : But Jolly contends "the governor's race is not about Donald Trump," and that "in my gut," there are enough people from both parties open to changing out Republican control.
21% : "Nothing is official yet, and White House officials cautioned that Trump would ultimately make the decision over the next day or two as he watches coverage of the embarrassing episode.
