"Yet four new polls have come out since the debate, and all of them show Trump remaining at the front of the GOP pack."
"A Reuters/Ipsos poll found Trump's support unchanged from the week prior to the debate, at 24 percent, with his nearest rival being Jeb Bush, at 12 percent. A poll from Morning Consult actually found Trump's support increasing 7 points after the debate, to 32 percent (with Bush in second, at 11 percent). And an NBC/Survey Monkey pollfound Trump at 23 percent, with his closest competitor Ted Cruz, at 13 percent."
All of these polls were conducted via internet, not by phone. But poll analysts have argued that sophisticated internet polling is worth taking seriously, with SurveyMonkey's operation (run by Jon Cohen, the former head of polling at the Washington Post) coming in for particular praise:Context for new NBC poll - Cohen is serious & quality online polls now easily rival phone on accuracy.

A fourth post-debate poll from Public Policy Polling surveyed Iowa Republicans and found Trump remaining in first place there, too. This is a phone robo-poll run by a Democratic-aligned firm, and it found Trump leading at 19 percent, and Ben Carson and Scott Walker tied for second with 12 percent each."
