While el Trumpo demands that Iowans quit screwing around and start showing up at the polls for him, he might want to take a trip south to good’ol Texas too.
From CBS Dallas Fort Worth:
A KTVT-CBS 11 / Dixie Strategies Poll of over 2,000 likely primary voters in Texas shows a pitched battle taking place at the top of the GOP ticket and Clinton dominance on the Democrat side.
Statewide, among likely GOP Primary voters, Dr. Ben Carson and real estate mogul Donald Trump are in a virtual tie at 22.93% and 22.17% respectively. Texas Senator Ted Cruz is the next nearest competitor at 14.27% with former Florida Governor Jeb Bush not too far behind Cruz at 12.65%. All other GOP candidates are polling under 7% with Florida Senator Marco Rubio ahead of former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina (6.57% and 4.57% respectively).
When looking at respondents in the DFW Area, the numbers vary a bit. Carson (23.11%) leads Trump (20.45%) by almost 3 points with Cruz (16.67%) and Bush (13.64%) in third and fourth place respectively. All other GOP candidates poll under 6% in the DFW area.
Carson only leads El Trumpo by one point which is within the margin of error, but it’s yet another crack in what has been the Donald’s dominance in the polling until this last week.
Will the cracks continue or will the Donaldinator shore up his support? We’ll keep it monitored and report it at the Scooooooop!!!
It'd be a cold day in Hell that I'd ever cast a vote for this bombastic self-serving buffoon. He's in it for one reason, and one reason only: Ego
Whoa!!!
The problem is once you Top the Tump, everybody thinks that it was just dumb luck rather than Tump Topping skill.
I’m still waiting for the Olympic Committee to sanction Tump Topping as a Medal Sport.
America is way ahead of the rest of the World in Competitive Tump Topping. I think we could easily win the Gold, Silver and Bronze.
The only question remains, is Tump Topping a Summer Event or a Winter Event?
I think it could certainly happen in any season if the location is accommodating.
Go for the Gold!
Bullcrap. Trump is a multi-billionaire with his name on numerous projects and was on a successful tv show. He didn’t need his EGO boosted. You seem to know nothing about the kindnesses of Mr. Trump and yet call him self-serving. He is a very generous, kind-hearted man. He is bombastic in his speeches, as he has to be. He has the GOPE, the media and the DEMS bashing and trashing him 24/7. WHich group do you fit in?
Wow a phony push poll from a. PR firm owned by DC Amnesty cheerleaders !
Amnesty fat cat Mel Martniez the former Fl senator and Clinton Operative Rick Kaplan who run CBS New Div team up for more poll propaganda !
Ricky Kaplan was in charge of CNN and made it the Clinton New Network in the 1990’s !
Rick Kaplan created and orchestrated the 1992 - 60 minutes Clinton PR video after the Jen Flowers story broke !

These CBS polls are to get rid of Trump due to Hillary !
See the Dem media and the DC Uniparty Amnesty slime work together against a common enemy !
Trump !
Go back to the DU !
Awesome! Go Trump!
I won’t vote for Carson at all - ever. Just like I wouldn’t vote for Romney. And the SDA Carson supporters are acting like the LDS Romney supporters in 2012 and that was a bad road.
I left the GOP over Romney, I am considering changing my registration back to the GOP to vote for Trump in the primary.
BINGO!!!
Lol. What’s it like in ErnBatviaville.....population YOU?
I don’t believe there are that many stupid people in Texas!
My state is open primary.
I am sorry to say I voted for Romney and was so convicted that I asked God to forgive me. I will not go down that road again. It is sad to see so many Christians deceived.
Agree. Maybe he’s being well compensated.
Whoever wrote that headline doesn’t understand polling. The story gets it closer to right.
Nope, this is a Texas poll. Allegedly.
“I personally would not have [gone to war in Afghanistan] because, you know, you’ve got to look at the history of Afghanistan,” he (Carson) said. “You’ve got 300 tribal leaders throughout the country who have never been united in anything so who are you going to negotiate with? How are you going to achieve peace in a situation like that?”

**************************
I don’t give a rat’s ass about achieving peace in Afghanistan. The more they kill each other the better. But anyone who would not have used the military to go kill Al Qaeda after the murder of 3,000 Americans on US soil is unfit to be Commander in Chief, period.
Right on Catsrus , but I fear that it’s too late even for a man like Trump to fix all that is wrong with the US .
