Donald Trump leads the GOP presidential field not only in support, but in high expectations as well, a new poll shows.

In the Washington Post/ABC News survey, the real estate billionaire has the backing of a whopping 32 percent of Republican-leaning voters – but 42 percent say they expect Trump to win the GOP nomination and 43 percent pick him for having the best shot at winning the November 2016 election.

Trump is followed by retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson at  22 percent. The rest of the pack:


Here's the breakdown in expectations for most likely to win the GOP nomination: Here's who has the best chance to win the general election:

Just wait until its known that Al Sharpton and Dr. Carson have the same goals and Carson spoke to the same group as Sharpton.

Doesn’t say much for Carson’s judgement to be seen with America’s Second most powerful Race Hustler.

This will tarnish Carson’s nice guy image.

Tawanna Brawley, accusing innocent Duke La Crosse students,
and formenting trouble everywhere.

Why would Carson comes within MILES of Sharpton?

The more I see of Donald, (which seems like every hour or so) the more I like him rough edges and all. I am convinced that we need a candidate that plays hardball.

Might want to actually listen to him rather then reacting in hysterics

Why did Trump come within miles of Sharpton?

This is why you don’t practice these “Guilt by accusation” tactics. They can be turned against you just as easily

I agree the true picture shows that Trump is leaving everybody in the dust. Carson is being pushed by the MSM just as they pushed Carley, they are propping up Bush even at his low number. They are also pushing Rubio

One thing the MSM will never do is push Cruz.

.Here ....from yesterday....

Dr. Ben Carson: "Al Sharpton and I Have the Same Goals." http://freedomoutpost.com/2015/10/dr-ben-carson-says-al-sharpton-and-i-have-the-same-goals/#Tj81hvfX ^ | October 20, 2015 | Kelleigh Nelson

"Sharpton and I Have the Same Goal," Says Ben Carson, "Just Different Ideas on How to Get There."

Ben Carson's April, 2015, article in National Review state: Last week, I had the pleasure of speaking at the National Action Network's (NAN) 17th annual national convention in New York City.

NAN is one of the leading civil-rights organizations in the United States. It was founded in 1991 by the Reverend Al Sharpton to "promote a modern civil rights agenda that includes the fight for one standard of justice, decency and equal opportunities for all people regardless of race, religion, nationality or gender."

Dr. Carson defended his actions, saying that we should not remain in our camps, but should reach out to the opposition. I agree with Jan Morgan, who said, "When you participate in an event organized by a racist thug, you validate him and give him credibility he does not deserve. Participating in this event is as repulsive to me as Obama meeting with and negotiating with Iran."

Excuse me Dr. Carson, but Al Sharpton's only desire is to feed his lust for money and power. He is a far left liberal, filled with hatred and negative rhetoric for America, for whites, police officers, and for anything conservative.

Combined 54% for “non establishment” candidates... No chance for Jeb or the rest....

But don’t think they won’t do every ugly thing they can to stop this.... You are going to be scratching your head wondering why they never fought this hard against a democratic candidate as they are going to against Trump.

Unless they narrow down to three: Trump Carson and Bush
That would split the anti establishment vote and give III THE NOMINEE

That can’t be happening.

The Beltway pundits, NYC mediots and their troll buddies on the internet since 1 August have been telling us that Trump is finish and will plummet in the polls.

Trump’s terrorist prediction 18/19 months before 9/11 has driven more wooden spikes into the hearts of the vampires who
hate him 24/7.

Utter nonsense. Media “Pushing Carson” that is just such an ridiculous nonsensical argument. Only person getting more media hate articles then Trump is Carson.

No, if you spit the vote Trump-Carson-Jeb

Trump wins

Carson is 2nd

Jeb is a far distant third.

Let deal in facts, not hyperbolie.
