The fiscally conservative Club for Growth is claiming credit for two new polls that show Donald Trump falling out of first place in Iowa. The Clubs super-PAC, Club for Growth Action, has spent $1 million on ads in Iowa hitting Trump on his past support for universal healthcare, bank bailouts and raising taxes on the wealthy, as well as his current support for eminent domain.
Two days, and two more polls with the same message that Club for Growth Action reported on Oct. 6: Donald Trump lost his lead in Iowa, Club for Growth President David McIntosh said in a statement on Friday. The polls have made it clear: Trump loses when voters know the truth about him. Hes not a conservative, and hes really just the worst kind of politician." A Bloomberg Politics-Des Moines Register poll released on Friday found Ben Carson surging in Iowa, taking 28 percent support to Trump's 19 percent. Thats a 10-point gain for Carson and a four-point drop for Trump.
That poll comes on the heels of a Quinnipiac University survey released on Thursday that found Carson taking a 28 to 20 lead over Trump in the Hawkeye State. The Club noted that those polls confirmed the finding of their super-PACs poll, released in early October, that had Carson taking a 21 to 16 lead over Trump in Iowa. Until this week, Trump had led in every major poll of Iowa since late July, except for one, which found him and Carson in a tie. Trump and the Club for Growth have been publicly warring with each other. The Club has vowed to expose Trumps extremely liberal positions on taxes, health care, bailouts, and property rights. Trump, meanwhile, has threatened a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the pitiful little group.

Good point.
Some of the "usual gang of militant Iowa evangelicals" and their favorite mouthpieces also seem to have decided that anybody but Donald can be a Christian in good standing too, but they generally end up scoring points against themselves by the end of the election. When some of more sincere ones finally find out that Ben Carson is SDA, they'll be livid.
Mr. niteowl77
I just received a robo call from Ben Carson’s campaign on my home phone and I don’t even live in Iowa. Some white guy. I hate unsolicited calls.
Wow. Really?
I get sick watching this.
This is a “Cruz Pac”. I’d be all for a miracle working, Conservative President who would make Liberalism and all its policies disappear with a stroke of his pen. It’s not going to happen. Even the most principled, idealistic evangelical alive at this time couldn’t do that. By pouring money into that somewhat vain hope, they might as well hand it to Hillary at the beginning.
Trump is the streetwise, toughened fighter we need to put us back on track as a nation. There isn’t, at this time, anyone else who even remotely fits that bill. I, myself, pray every day for Divine intervention to save my country from the Liberal evils that have taken hold here, from murdering babies to sexual perversion. Having done that, I choose to support Donald Trump for President; for much the same reasons that I would choose a shotgun over a pea shooter to bird hunt. :)
Why do you like ads damaging conservative candidates? Would you rather put in the mind of the undecided voter that candidate A who years ago held some liberal positions but no longer does, who advocates prudence and restraint in govt, is no better that the extreme liberal who is has one foot on communism and the other on a banana peel? This is not holding a conservative candidate’s feet to the fire, this is lying, and helping the liberal candidate.

Ahh yes the cheap labor express, anyone that helps these idiots by voting for their candidates is a moron.
I know, right, 4 Americans dead and she’s celebrating, giving high fives. She’s just an utter self serving pig.
No Hillary is the female word that ryhmes with Hunt.
Absolutely, she is the absolute definition.
If Carson is Club for Growth Candidate, he is off my list for good.
Carson isn’t the Club for Growth candidate in Iowa. What happened is the Club for Growth was bragging that it was their ads that brought down Trump’s percentage there and increased Carson’s. That’s why I’m saying Carson has to criticize those ads or own their impact on his support.
Well, she certainly is not a cunning runt.
Yep, slime.
I hadn’t forgotten their attempt for graft.
