In the Republican primary race, the newest NBC News/SurveyMonkey online poll shows Donald Trump has the frontrunner spot to himself, with 28% support among Republican and independent voters who lean Republican. Support for Ben Carson, who was tied with Trump in last month's online poll, has fallen off by 8 points and the former neurosurgeon is now tied with Ted Cruz at 18%. Trailing not too far behind is Marco Rubio, at 11%. The next tier of candidates has a lot of catching up to do, with Jeb Bush at 4% and Chris Christie and Carly Fiorina each with 3%.

The interesting thing about this poll is that if Jeb drops out to help the other rino that only leaves Rubio with 15% of the vote where conservatives eat up the rest. At this point in time and if this poll is accurate there is no way for rinos to succeed this time even splitting the conservative vote.
The Rebel Alliance is coming together very nicely thank you very much.
I was hoping to keep Ted stealth for a little while longer so as not to rile the ire of the one-world media types. However, circumstances in WWIII are changing rapidly and real leadership is needed now.
Trump/Cruz.
maybe?
Cruz/Trump?
Good either way.
The Force is with us.
Carson down eight points, Cruz up 8 points. No surprise there.
HYSTERICAL - the GOPe will be forced to get behind Cruz, as he’s the last man standing that can take out Trump.
...but good luck controlling Cruz.
Mrs. Eccl and I saw him in Greenville on Saturday. He had about 4000 very enthusiastic supporters there. He is the real deal. And his wife Heidi is the real deal. My fears of her (Goldman Sachs banker) were greatly allayed.
Ted Cruz is running on all cylinders. And he’s getting more cylinders, bigger cylinders.
Jeb is clearly no longer in the top tier, as somehow, he seems not to have the “fire in his belly” that The Donald or even Gentle Ben each have.
We are seeing a potential Cabinet lineup beginning to take form here. But just because some of the candidates would still have some polling numbers, does not mean they may be included.
Just for comparison, the Democrats have NO bench from which they can draw, only retreads that have way too much mileage already.
It will go poorly for the Cruz folks. Trump hasn't been running as the "pure," or "true" conservative. But Cruz has, and that's a myth that is extremely easy to destroy, revealing a face behind a mask that looks strangely like Huckabee the Huckster.
34% "unfavorable" makes me wonder who they're polling and what was the wording of the question. Whatever. A lot of people who don't like Trump will vote for him. Most people have awakened to the real threat the US is under for collapse, and there isn't anyone else available who's a force of nature. Trump has as a mission to be in the history books as the dude who saved western civilization.
That's my take, anyway.
Jebito Bushario should be gone by Thanksgiving.
If he had any sense left at all.
Then....we should be able to knock off the rest of ‘em as panic spreads through the “Chamber” and “CFR” drones.
Smoke’em if ya got’em
I thought Bush was surging?
IMO, what this portends is that Cruz is probably going to take Iowa. If so, it’s game on!
Ummmm....no. Cruz is Cruz. He's been running for president long before Trump even knew he wanted to run for president. The world doesn't start and end with Donald Trump despite his gargantuan ego.
Trumps support is where it’s always been (in the high 20’s)
Carson is crumbling, Cruz is rising. That’s the real story.
No one has been more on message or disciplined in these primaries than Ted Cruz. Good luck trying to get him to do something he doesn’t want to do.
Trump 28%
Carson 18%
Cruz 18%
Carson down! Cruz moving up!
Megyn Kelly must be suicide watch.
Everyone with support numbers south of Rubio’s needs to exit the race. They are going nowhere.
