‘Shocker’ New Poll Says Trump Lost GOP Debate to Someone Who Wasn’t Even On Stage With Him
The Blaze ^ | August 9, 2015 | Kaitlyn Schallhorn

Posted on 08/09/2015 1:03:46 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

According to a new poll, Carly Fiorina is the Republican presidential candidate of choice after Thursday night’s debates.

The nationwide poll of more than 17,000 people from the Association of Mature American Citizens — a conservative organization for those 50-years-old and up — asked who won Thursday night and included candidates in the official GOP debate and the earlier, second-tier debate. With 6,273 votes Fiorina led the poll at 36 percent.

Texas Senator Ted Cruz came in second place with 17 percent of the votes (3,015), and controversial real estate mogul Donald Trump came in third place with 14 percent of the votes (2,414).

“For those of us who know Carly, her dominating performance was no surprise,” Anna Epstein, press secretary for Fiorina’s campaign told TheBlaze. “With the lowest name ID in the field, it’s important to keep introducing her to voters and letting them see that she is a true conservative ready to challenge the status quo. So we’ll keep traveling the country, meeting voters, and answering their questions.”

But according to the press release from AMAC, the organization’s president, Dan Weber, called the results a “shocker.”(continued)

Didn’t Glen what’s his name banish discussion of Trump from his variety show?

Why is he talking about him now?

Shouldn’t he be giving away Teddy bears or something?

“Notice that Ted Cruz is now in second or third place in national polls? “

Yup. They are going after him next.Then Walker, then Rubio.

After that it is split the RINO vote and Bush wins with 10%.

That is not a poll.

The polls should be out around Mon or Tue.

“Time Magazine found that Mr. Trump took 47% of nearly 55,000 votes. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) of Florida was in second place with just 10%. The Drudge Report’s poll found more than half of nearly 362,000 voters favored Mr. Trump, well above everyone else,” the Wall Street Journal noted.

I agree with Beck - and we should all be helping to introduce Carly to the voters - her true positions, her RINO flag waving, and her hypocrisy. DId I miss anything?

I dont think Carly’s attempting to get voter brownie points by defending Megyn Kelly today will help her much, folks don’t like bullies who pile on.

Who?
Seriously, and who is this organization?

So its a member poll ... of older folks ... conducted online. Not necessarily meaningless, but far from representative of a national mood.
