Former Hewlett-Packard chief executive Carly Fiorina won Wednesday's Republican presidential debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, according to a poll released Friday.

The poll from Morning Consult found that 29 percent of registered voters who watched the debate said she was the winner.

Real estate mogul Donald Trump came in second with 24 percent.

Third place went to retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson at 7 percent. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush each polled at 6 percent.

However, Morning Consult found Trump still led the primary race with 36 percent support of registered voters who watched the debate. Carson polled at second with 12 percent and Fiorina took 10 percent. All other candidates polled in single digits.

The poll was conducted among 504 registered voters who watched the debate and plan to voter in their state's primary or caucus. Sixty-nine percent identified as Republicans. The margin of error was 4.4 points.

Carson and Fiorina together fall 13% less than TRUMP in polled voters.

I bet he gets more votes than the next 4 candidates combined.

Fiorina is basically living off the land and spending most of her time on talk radio and cable TV. Until she starts raising money and puts a significant ground game in place in the early primary and caucus states, her campaign is going no where. So far she has been unable to parlay her superior debating skills into political gain. She needs to have boots on the ground to make her race more credible.

As a resident of the People’s Republic of CA, I wish she spent this amount of effort in her campaign against Boxer.

How many of the American people are sick and tired of being “played” and manipulated by the MSM, Elites, and Liberals?

I read it fast and thought it said:

OK. I should have said high heels on the ground in her case.

Superior debating skills? She gave the same stump speech for questions that were made for her. She had one highlight with Planned Parenthood and still used the word fetus and was spoon fed the rest.

Her Trump is a meany whine lost her more than it gained. Women know what I mean.

Pray America is waking

I predicted Trump would not win the debate but would still hold his lead.

Remember the media strategy in 2012? It was take out the stronger candidates, one at a time, until the only ones left standing were the weak ones. Then, they no longer cared who was nominated. This is the same strategy they are employing here. They know they could take out Fiorina in days, by suddenly "discovering" her weaknesses.

I don't think it will work this time. Trump has already shown that he can withstand their attacks, and even flourish when they try to attack him.

Behind him are enough good candidates that there will likely not be enough time to take them all out, even if they dislodge trump.
