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!!!
Really. I see no debate coming from you.
Just name calling.
Heal yourself.
These so called polls are lies of the lame stream media and are probably cooked up by the marxists and lamestream rinos, who are allies. Trump is the man.
God Bless Texas!
You are wrong, “our leader” certainly can and does hold positions that many of us not agree with. And, gasp, there are things in his personal life (such as 3 marriages) we do not particularly admire! We are not deaf and we are well aware he can quite abrasive, and not always much of an orator. HOWEVER, the things that are right with “our leader” are the things that are overwhelmingly important, such as stopping this invasion along our southern border, that we can forgive and overlook some of his flaws because as far as we can, he is the only one that is taking on these problems and saying the truth, that if we do not fix these things, we are toast. And I believe he will do his best do exactly that. Take that, you arrogant patronizing blind little mice, feeling so smug and superior while Rome burns.
“And any poll that shows Trump down is, by definition, a fabricated poll, right?”
Yup, that’s right. The long knives are out for Trump big time, and that includes the socialist Dem pollsters with their crooked polls to try to take frontrunner Trump down a peg, in fact some of them are trying to bring him down period. If you can’t see that, you are not at all intuitive about dirty politics and who indulges in it. The Dem moderators in tonite’s debate are engaging in it right now.
I personally don`t care what he polls, I don`t vote lesser of two evils.
Doesn’t matter. I am not voting for Carson.
Dallas County and its Northern suburbs are mostly Democrats, so it’s not surprising that leftist CBS had a poll showing Carson higher than Trump and Cruz. South Dallas and Oak Cliff are heavily populated by blacks, also.
It is sad and I wished my state was open. Its not which means I may have to change my registration back to GOP to vote in the Primary.
These SOBs never called this phone. Still waiting to hear from them.
Well after tonight’s fail look for Carson to sink back down.
Like: Do you know what a Texan is? -- A Mexican on his way to Oklahoma.
Then they can follow with thier polling data...
Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other FReeloader.....
GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!
I see very few here who fit my definition of a cultist. How would you define ‘cult of personality’?
