Dr. Ben Carson and Donald Trump are tied at the top of the latest 2016 GOP Presidential poll released Friday night by NBC News.
With 26% each, Trump and Carson have the support of over half of the voters polled, an impressive feat in a crowded field.
According to Politico:
“Donald Trump and Ben Carson together command more than half of voters’ preference atop the Republican field after Wednesday night’s debate, while Texas Sen. Ted Cruz rose to third place in the latest national NBC News/SurveyMonkey poll released Friday evening.
In a survey of Republicans and Republican-leaning independent voters, Trump and Carson both earned 26 percent, while Cruz took 10 percent. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio followed with 9 percent, trailed by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (5 percent), Carly Fiorina (4 percent) and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul (all at 2 percent).â€
The article notes poll respondents thought Cruz won the debate:
Cruz’s stronger showing could be in large part due to the 24 percent of the 1,226 Republicans and leaners who said that he did the best job at the CNBC debate, a larger share than any other candidate. Rubio finished close behind in that regard, with 20 percent. Asked who did the worst, 38 percent picked Bush.â€

I suspect Trump is waiting until the right time to use his ‘opposition research’ on Dr. Ben. Don’t wait too long, Donald. Dr. Ben may be developing a dossier on you.
All those crossover Democrats pumping up Carson’s numbers will NOT be voting Republican in the general election.
Trump Still the Clear Leader After Latest Debate
(Not an online poll.)
Nor the ones backing Trump.
Soft skilled mush brains are the Carson supporters he absolutely sucks on every issue
Skilled =skulled
I sure would like to see a Carson rally.
I sure would like to see a Carson rally.
LOL....is there such a thing?
Better watch your back, there, Mr. Prime. He may have a hammer at the ready to bash in your skull.
Couldn’t agree more. I can’t name one issue Carson is right on. Pathetic.
How big are the crowds at Carson’s rally? I suspect Carson’s numbers are fake
I’m always ready for a chimp out I carry everywhere I can :)
He did say that things will be coming out about the doctor. The start of that may have been the Mannatech stuff. He will have to be careful. The good doc is worse than an old lady in the delicacy that will be required. But I trust that Mr Trump has a plan.
Yeah, NBC.
I am sure a Carson supporters here can direct us to numerous overflow crowds at Carson rallies.
Funny isn’t it, supposedly he ties Trump, but he can’t draw a crowd of more than a hundred.
Carson draws the same as Bush, or less. Let the geniuses here figure that out.
