Trump Still the Clear Leader After Latest Debate
Posted on 11/02/2015 3:56:03 PM PST by CaptainK
Ben Carson has surged into the lead of the Republican presidential race, getting support from 29 percent of GOP primary voters, according to a brand-new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
That's the highest percentage any GOP candidate has obtained so far in the survey.
Carson's 29 percent is followed by Donald Trump at 23 percent, Marco Rubio at 11 percent, Ted Cruz at 10 percent and Jeb Bush at 8 percent. These findings are similar to a New York Times/CBS poll released last week, which also showed Carson in first place in the national GOP contest.

There is nothng unusual about that size of a sample for a primary election.
The range of turnout for primaries is 26% of registered voters as a high in Montana to a low of 9% of registered voters in Iowa (2014 primaries).
The latest poll from a conservative leanng polling organization and media outlet (Investors Business Daily/TIPP poll) had a sample of 402 registered Republcans or Republcam leanng Independents.
Southerners don’t vote for pacifists. One that acts like he would jump through the ceiling if he heard someone holler boo. How anyone could think Carson is presidential material is beyond me.
..........................................................
My sentiments exactly.
Anything wrong with taking the “best of the best†foreign minds? The superstars? I believe those are the ones to which he is referring.
I’m talking the top 5%. Same as “The Wall with the Doorâ€. Let in the top 5%. He can’t say that, but that’s what he means.
.............................................................
I totally agree with you. Remember all those foreign minds who helped us put a man on the moon, for example.
“I’m trashing those who first trash others.”
How very Trumpian of you!
You would refuse to vote for Carson if he’s the only anti-lefist?
..........................................................
That’s just it. Carson IS NOT Anti leftist. He is PRO ABORTION, PRO Using baby body parts for experiment, PRO AMNESTY, Shaky on the second amendment, PRO OPEN BORDERS, Pro Al Sharpton and Farrakhan, and I find his religious beliefs questionable. NONE of those things indicates to me that he is conservative or right wing.
Odds on the nomination right now are........
1. Trump
2. Cruz
3. Rubio (Although I don’t want to admit it)
No others stand a chance, and Carson is last in the bunch.
If he carries Iowa it’ll be his one and only primary win. He has no chance at the GOP nomination. People will not vote for nor will the GOP support another Neville Chamberlain for president, who’s also absolutely terrible on immigration. When Trump finally starts hitting him with campaign ads Carson’s inflated numbers will sink like a rock.
Carson is pro abortion and pro using baby body parts for experiments. You have nothing to work on your sister about.
it’s not easy to trust a new convert like Trump as much as Cruz or Carson [who have proven to be rock-ribbed].
.......................................................
Excuse me, but just how long has Carson been a Republican? A lot shorter time than Trump, and Carson is pro Abortion, pro using baby body parts for experiments, pro Farrakhan and Al Sharpton, he is PRO AMNESTY and that’s just for starters. AND he is not a businessman, knows nothing about Trade, or Foreign policy, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, .......
No wonder this country is hurting!!!!!!!
I hope you are educating her on what it takes to run a country, and that this is not a “like” contest like on Facebook! This Election is about WHO HAS THE SKILL SET TO TURN THIS COUNTRY AROUND.
Any doctor that freely admits to having referred women to a doctor for an abortion is not pro-life. Carson sees nothing wrong with this. Think of living in 1855 and someone came up to you and asked you if you sold slaves and you said “of course not I don’t believe in slavery, but there’s a fellow right down the road who’ll sell you all you want”. That’s Carson’s position on abortion. For almost 20 years he sat on the board of directors of CostCo and Kellogg, both of whom give millions for abortion all over the world. So far Fox News has not mentioned his support for abortion and the liberal media could care less. The reason? Fox wants Trump out of the race at any and all costs. If Trump were to withdraw from the race Fox would jump on Carson like a bulldog on a pork chop. They want an establishment RINO, preferably Jeb Bush, but Rubio will do.
I, too am very concerned about the “next JFK” from Florida.
The Uniparty and the infotainment complex are going to push him as hard as they can push.
Obviously you know little about guns. The CORRECT answer to the question about what should people do should have been OPEN FIRE! the people should be armed. Carson is not Pro Gun. He is wishy washy, searching for the right answer .
I read you loud and clear. You are absolutely right.....and the list for WHY CARSON IS NOT PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL is VERY VERY LONG!
And that is why a lot of us in Florida, who worked to put Rubio in office, have erected the barricades and are pushing AGAINST him for all we’re worth. We’re seeing results!
My God why. The man is not conservative.
They'll probably never hear about it. Data from the poll implies that only 30 percent of Carson supporters even watched the debate. That makes me think that most of them don't keep track of politics at all.
They're Low-Info retards who should be beaten with sticks.
I can think of something better than sticks. Cat ‘O Nine, perhaps.
