New UMass Poll Finds Donald Trump and Ben Carson Have a Dominant Hold on Likely Republican Primary Voters.

Donald Trump and Ben Carson have a dominating lead over the rest of the field of Republican presidential candidates, and should either of them drop out of the primary race the other stands to benefit the most, according to a new UMass Poll released today by the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

Overall, Trump leads the Republican field with 31 percent of likely Republican voters listing him as their first choice, based on a nationwide online survey of 318 likely Republican primary voters conducted by YouGov America under the direction of the UMass Poll from Nov. 5-13. Carson comes in second at 22 percent, followed by Senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio at 13 percent and 9 percent, respectively. No other candidate was able to garner 5 percent support.

That would be Trump with a dominating lead—not Carson.

Carson is nothing.

I bet he drops out within the next month, maybe sooner.

I grew up in Massachusetts. Carson doesn’t stand a chance. There aren’t any pyramids there.

Carson is already fading. Look for Trump to inherit most of his supporters. Its all good. :-)

I think Trump is a bit hard for most Carson people.

Actually, this is a national poll conducted by UMass. The headline reads as if a poll of Massachusetts voters but it is indeed a national poll and in line with the recent Reuters poll.
