I can't think of any candidate ever who turned the favorable/unfavorable around like this---not just in this poll, but in two others last week including a national poll.

The Iowa straw poll shows that Trump has emerged as the prohibitive favorite to win the GOP nomination.
I’ve never seen a guy dominate the field as completely as Trump.

Carson at 18%?
Good guy, but he would do more good by continuing his brain surgeries.

More astounding that Walker tying Cruz at #3 aside, the top three are ALL anti-establishment/outside the beltway types. Cruz, the exception, is still regarded as a real maverick.

Trump is benefitting from the desire of the citizens to stop the colonization of their country.

Forgot to mention this: if you combine 1st choice and 2nd choice, Carson and Trump are tied at 32.

The soft mannered BC doing well in IA.
The big turn around in Trump favorables must have the Des Moines Register sorely dispirited.

We’ve had so many Trump threads, is there analysis on why Dr. Carson shot up to 2nd place and remained there, basically since the first debate?
Second most posted threads are about Cruz, yet many polls showed him not cracking 10%.
What has Dr. Carson done in his campaign for such result?

I have some Carson types in my family who were also all-in for Santorum. I absolutely do not get it. But they’re big-city-dwelling Evangelicals, maybe they have some racial harmony dream I don’t know about.
Carson’s a fantastic guy, and should be in the cabinet, but POTUS? He’s a Dr, for God’s sake’s, not a pool guy!

Thank you. I’ll ask mod to replace mine in the link line with this.

Oh, and, hate the DesMoines Register all you want (I do), they hit last November mid-terms accurately when everybody else was off 5 Senate seats at a minimum on election night.

I personally think Carson is going up, due to his being an *outsider*, his debate performance and speeches he’s making on the campaign trail.

The last Des Moines Register poll in May had Trump at 4%. This one is consistent with the CNN from about a week ago Trump 22 Carson 14 Cruz 8... But did anyone look at the DeMoines Reg Dem Poll? LOL Hillary 37 Bernie 30 Biden 14... Hillary is feeling more Bern all the time...

Carson’s numbers will drop.
To: LS
The Trump’s reversal of the fav/unfav is more that people are seeing his genuineness, and rejecting the MSM’s patented meme they are trying to project.
