Donald Trump still leads the Republican pack in the two first two states in the presidential nominating contest, though Ben Carson is on his heels in Iowa and Carly Fiorina is close behind in New Hampshire.
New NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist polls out Sunday morning show Trump up in Iowa, with 24% support to Carson's 19%. Fiorina is third at 8%, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at 7%, and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal at 6% each, according to the poll.
In New Hampshire, Trump remains in first place with 21% support to Fiorina's 16%, Bush's 11%,and Rubio and Carson each with 10% support.
But despite his leads, the polls reflect some slipping for Trump. A month ago, Trump had been up 16 points in New Hampshire, rather than the 5-point advantage he has now. And in Iowa, Trump had a 7-point lead over Carson a month ago, compared to 5 points now.
Also dropping: Ohio Gov. John Kasich. He was in second place at 12% in New Hampshire in late August, but his support has fallen to 6%, the latest survey found....

However, I do believe Kasich’s candidacy is heading for the crapper. Like Jeb, John has been taking the wrong side of every issue.
Since the demise of newsweak, NBC/Marist polls are the most left-leaning.
Somehow I got on the Jeb mail list...but its kinda fun to send them little notes from time to time...LOL
But I got this one today and wanted to share it...have a good laff folks.

I wonder if the sister, Hillary, will be there?
