Trump is ahead of Carson by 9 points as the top pick among likely Republican primary voters next year, according to the University of Massachusetts survey. He took support from 31 percent of respondents, compared with 22 percent for Carson.

Trump is looking much stronger and Hillary is much weaker in the aftermath of the Paris attack.

So, once again, everyone saying Trump was going down because of his attacks was all hogwash. I’m specifically talking about his attacks on Ben Carson in Iowa. Haven’t seen any polls out of Iowa lately, however.

Likable enough guy it seems although I’m not sure I’d want to be his friend...or his mother...

Anyway whatever he is, it shouldn’t be POTUS.

Real estate mogul Donald Trump continues to lead the Republican presidential field by a wide margin, after seeing his support dip in late October. Trump leads with 38 percent of the vote, twice the level of support of his nearest competitor, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who takes 19 percent. Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) tie for third, at 7 percent each, while former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) finishes with 6 percent. No other contender scores above 3 percent of the vote.

The latest of Carson’s foot in mouths was him being asked on Fox how he respond to the terrorists if her were POTUS. He stumble around causing the reporter to ask the question several more times and then decided he’d.... take it to social media.

Please, explain how this freak is still getting top billing.

Hey guys...hey guys... I didn't see my name among the poll leaders and I just wanted to remind everybody that I'm still here. This is Jebbie Bush and I'm running for president. I just re-invented myself and I have a new campaign slogan: "Jeb Can Fix It."

How do you like the new slogan? I think with this fresh new slogan, I can do better in the polls. Also, I would like to apologize to the French and also to Marco Rubio for saying that he has French working hours. Anyway, please remember to vote for me. Thanks and have a very nice day.

Reuters has Trump over Carson 36-14.

That’s 22 pts for those of you in Rio Linda, CA

So which one is correct?

Trump is killing Carson everywhere. When Carson drops out Trump will get most of his support. Trump is the next GOP nominee.

This is NOTHING! New Reuters out few minutes ago 5 day rolling survey = Trump 34 Carson second at 14.6
How long will it be until the first rat deserts the ship at RNC and sneaks over to Trump HQ to try to change sides. “I was always with you Mister Trump but they made me say those things.”
