Polls! Dr. Ben Carson tied with Trump in GOP race. Carly & Rubio gain. Jeb in freefall.

Sanders closing in on Hillary

About a month ago, we learned that Donald Trump and Ben Carson were in a virtual dead heat in Iowa. People naturally wondered if the polling would be borne out nationwide, or if it was a local anomaly. A couple of weeks later we started to receive word that Trump’s lead was shrinking and Ben Carson was closing in - fast.

Still, Trump supporters were sure those polls were outliers since there was no way “the Donald” could be losing ground to an “OK doctor who hasn’t created enough jobs.”

Now, however, they’re being forced to deal with reality. A new WSJ/NBC poll confirms that Dr. Ben Carson has obliterated Trump’s lead.

It is still early in the process and who know what Bammy is going to do to screw things up totally.

Oh, baloney. Someone is engaging in wishful thinking.

On a side note, how much longer does this ersatz chicken-entrail navel gazing go on? I can’t be the only one sick of Iowa and New Hampshire and caucuses and straw polls and state fair corn-dog votes. When will anything substantial happen? February?

According to the RCP average polls the NBC/WSJ poll is an outlier. All other polls are lower, his average is 16.3.

Nice try guys, no sale.

I’m disappointed in Canada Free Press. Didn’t think they’d climb on the bash Trump bandwagon.

Most of Carson's support is coming from Democrats crossing over under the direction of the GOPe for their version of Operation Chaos.

The GOPe doesn't consider Democrat candidates to be the enemy, so they would never conduct one against a Democrat. Just a conservative Republican.

No matter how it is sliced, The Donald STILL has deeper pockets, and can self-finance far more coverage, than any of the competitors.

Money does talk. The other candidates are sort of put in a box about what they can say, The Donald can say what he darned pleases, and so far, what he says still resonated with a far great number of people than just a few big contributors (of which the other competitors are all beholden).

Probably the only other person in the race that has some latitude is Ben Carson, who draws on millions in small contributions, which is certainly a more democratic expression of support than certain other candidates who may have huge war chests, but only a limited number of big-money contributors.

Just wait until the primaries. Democrats will be flocking over from surrounding states to jigger the Republican result.
