Donald Trump and Ben Carson now stand alone at the top of the Republican field, as Carly Fiorina's brief foray into the top tier of candidates seeking the GOP nomination for president appears to have ended, a new CNN/ORC poll finds.
Fiorina has lost 11 points in the last month, declining from 15% support and second place to 4% and a tie for seventh place.
At the same time, Carson has gained eight points and joins Trump as the only two candidates with support above 20%.

Good
But the RNC and Megyn Kelly told me I was the one to take down Trump.
Sad to see Cruz is also at 4 percent.
But but the GOPe mouthpieces assured us that she dominated the second debate and was going to take out Trump.
Carson started climbing after he said that Muslims should not be allowed to be president. Maybe Fiorina should try that?
“Snarly Purina goes to the dogs as Trump and Carson continue to lead.”
Sad to see Cruz is also at 4 percent.
CNN and lib commies don’t think our side would elect Carson, so they are I’m sure leading the poll questions when on the phone. Also, they don’t believe Trump can win even if they say they do; they are THAT arrogant. So they’re fine with his polling. Carly is a woman so they fear her being the first woman president with an (R) next to her name (even if she is a rino to us); lastly, Cruz scares them the most. First Hispanic president (oh, even if he is white hispanic to them) and - remember, folks like me hang up on pollsters due to lack of trust. I’m not the only one.
The polls are bunk.
Be sure to quote and ping everyone else posting polling data, and not just me. We can’t just say, “the polls are bunk” when it doesn’t reflect our view....but I generally agree about polling. It is just a small indicator. However, the establishment, and those in D.C do live and die by these things, and big donor money comes and goes based on it. Those are facts.
So, polling has its place.
Good for you. However, I live in New Hampshire and get polled often. I sometimes do answer them if I have the time...or hang up, depending.
Trump is on about a dozen news/talk shows a week and he's constantly taking the tough questions. But I hardly ever see Cruz. The other day, Trump personally put out 70 Tweets within 24 hours. Now some might scoff at Twitter but Trump is now able to reach millions of people and completely bypass the mainstream media.
Cruz is running a campaign better suited for 1988. Trump is clearly running a 21st Century campaign.
Just an observation.

Sorry no, that’s simply not true.

Gawd, that face is even worse than the ones Hillary makes.
I stopped paying attention to polls years ago. I look at them now as amusement and fodder for those in the media to hump ratings. But some can be easily be manipulated by them.
Ted just isn’t getting the traction. I am hoping Trump offers him Attorney General as he will be kick azz in that position.
“Just an observation”
And an astute observation at that. :-)
