Yougov ^ | 10/25/15 | Yougov

Posted on 10/25/2015 7:49:40 AM PDT by BigEdLB

Hillary Clinton has climbed to a narrow lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders among Democrats in Iowa while narrowing the gap in New Hampshire, according to the second wave of the YouGov/CBS News Battleground Tracker. In the Republican race, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson has caught up with Donald Trump in Iowa – but continues to lag far behind him in New Hampshire and South Carolina.

“Surging”.....hmmmm.... further described as a “narrow lead”. Could it really be that the “surging” is the sound of her Dependz getting saturated?

A tight Democrap race keeps Democraps out of OUR primaries.

Things are breaking our way for once.

I don't understand Carson's lead. Something seems very wrong.

And IMHO, there's something "sneaky" about Carson. He goes off on tangents, talks with his eyes clothes and he's robotic. Just seems to me.

Let’s carve out an exception to First Amendment protections and ban polls until October before each election.

Rush explained that in IA Carson has run an under-the-radar very effective Facebook campaign where he answers three questions a day. He has, supposedly, far more FB “friends” than Trump does. FB increasingly an older media form, and we all expect that most of Carson’s support is “church ladies” or the overtly religious. We’ll see if it holds up.

I ask you how many Iowa Republican primary winners go onto secure the nomination?

My VR system does that to me too ;)

Yes, there is something disconcerting about how Carson speaks. It is low energy, like Trump says, but it is more than that. He seems disconnected.

Rush is wrong about the facebook thing. Carson probably paid for one of those “like” services which artificially inflate your facebook like count. People were reporting that Carson’s numbers at one point were going up like a 100 every minute for a 24 hour cycle. I never saw an official article about it, only people commenting about it on Twitter as it was happening.

An analysis of Carson’s supporters on facebook would probably find more than just a few as fakes.

The fact that she is even close anywhere to Bernie is amazing. Many Rats don’t even know who he is. Then there’s the obvious Jew-hatred in their party, and I wonder what he hopes to accomplish.

Santorum and Huckabee got it the last 2 times, so Iowa is hardly a bellwether state.

My point, Iowa is a little off when it comes to their caucus selections. Trump should not ignore them, but not necessarily be overly concerned.

Yes, the Facebook thing is nonsense, but it is true that Carson has run an effective under-the-radar campaign in Iowa for quite some time.

There’s a whole bunch of people that need to get out of this race.

Hilary is great!

She will fight for families like she fought for Chris Stevens, her good friend.

We can all get dragged through the street by muzzies when she’s preezy!

Yougov says tie in Iowa. Quinnipac and DesMoines Register have to be either creating a story or actually working with Club for Gowth or both
