Real estate mogul Trump has widened his lead to 20 points in a brand new Zogby Analytics poll taken after the second Republican presidential debate. The new poll of 405 likely Republican primary/caucus voters nationwide with a margin of sampling error of +/- 5.0 percentage points, conducted September 18-19, shows Mr. Trump with 33% (up 2 points from his pre-debate 31%). In second place is neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson who actually dropped 3 points to 13%.

He put in a more “presidential” performance.
Uh Oh. America is awakening.
Let's concentrate on some real news like Dr. Carson skoolin' the 'Mericans peeps wrt Islam and the Constitution.
Lotta peeps missed that day in Skool....Get 'em up to speed Doc....
Wish it was a more reliable sauce .. eh, source.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz moves up a point to 5%, followed by Florida Senator Marco Rubio, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, and Ohio Governor John Kasich all tied at 4%. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who by many accounts, had a good debate night, stayed at 3%.
The biggest losers in the post-debate poll – besides Dr. Carson’s drop – were Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker who fell from 5% to 2% and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee who polled 2% (down from 4%).
Mr. Trump’s lead is across the board, among most major sub-groups – 36% among men, 30% with women, 30% Republicans, 39% independents, 29% moderates, and 31% conservatives.
Sounds a lot more believable than the CNN poll.
Haven’t heard from this polling unit for some time.
Have they improved their performance? They were not so good the past few cycles.
I am sure its the lead on the Kelly File , Monday
Going to cause belly aches and a few cases of diarrhea.
Overall I think this is a corrupt poll. When you talk to Republicans you get a different sense of things. I am not saying Trump is not out front. I am saying the rest of it is very questionable.
Interesting. Poll has FioRINO at only 7%.
Washingtonians beware.
That is odd, I heard for the 23rd time from the great and wise political commentators that Trump had peaked before the debate and his run was over.
I do not think any of the polls are accurate. Besides, this obsessive compulsive nonstop polling is ridiculous. Polling has become nothing but a political tool to sway voter’s opinions. They cannot be too crazy with it, but mark my words, it is skewed to manipulate.
Analogous to the percentage of BITCH ON WHEELS in the US Populace.
Lassie is appalled.
Timmy is in the well and cannot be saved.
Eight people in each state? That's a poll?
Zogby is as unreliable now as it ever was. It’s interesting that some have lost sight of that fact simply because the results of this “poll” are to their liking.
