Hey, what happened to Carly Fiorina’s bounce in the polls?

I’m not asking that rhetorically. I really don’t know the answer. You tell me what’s going on here.

Have a look at HuffPo’s table of national polling in the GOP primary. The second debate, Fiorina’s breakout moment, was held on September 16th. In the last poll taken before that day, she was stuck at two percent. The next poll? 22 percent, tied with Trump nationally. She never approached that number again but she hit double digits in various polls afterward, notching 11, 15, 7, 6, 12, and 11 percent in the six surveys that followed. A week after that, at the very end of September, she was still pulling double digits in some polls, hitting 9, 8, 11, 9, and 13 percent. That last poll, conducted by a reputable outlet (Suffolk) from September 24 to 28, left her tied with Ben Carson for second behind Trump. A promising couple of weeks for Carly.

Since then, though, she hasn’t hit double digits once. This month she’s done 9, 9, 6, 7, 6, 7, 6, and 5 percent in the most recent Morning Consult poll. She’s within a couple of points of Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush in most of those polls, but she trails Rubio fairly consistently, at least, and she’s well behind Trump and Carson. In two polls, in fact, she trails Ted Cruz. What happened? The self-serving lefty explanation, as you might expect, is that she’s been exposed as some sort of fraud in her claims about Planned Parenthood and is paying the price. Never mind whether that’s true or not — it isn’t, but left-wing “factcheckers” know what their mission is when PP is threatened....

Or as another FReeper said, looks like you could plow a field with that face.

Why are Trump supporters so afraid of Fiorina? They have to freak out about her all the time.

Not sure about anyone else, but when she said she would’ve voted for Sotomayor for SCOTUS, it was over for me.

We’re not afraid of ANYBODY - get that straight. We just want some clarity, and have all these marginal players call it a day and go home, so we can focus more on issues.

Because she is a really, really good woman/person/politician who could save the world! Obviously!

No, they are very, very scared. They can’t tolerate anyone uttering a word of disagreement with them and they freak out if something good happens to any other candidate. And his supporters are the most defensive of any candidate’s. Basically they act enveloped in insecurities, like Trump himself. Trump supporters act like liberal whiners.

Because Trump supporters are sober and clear headed.

They see Fiorina for what she is...

Not meant as an insult to horses...just to horsefaced women like Carly.

In a lot of ways she’s very similar to Trump- liberal values, mixed success in business- except that Fiorina has been a Republican for a long time.

LOL! Who ever claimed that! Spazzes and whiners! They see Fiorina for what she is...

A liberal who exaggerates their success in business? She is the female version of Trump!

Hey, just like Trump! No discussion of the issue, just reality TV insults! Cool!

Hey, does Carly support amnesty like Trump does? Maybe they could be the first male/female clones on a ticket!

CF, being a so-cal republican for a long time is exactly her discredit. Carly has absolutely no business success to tout, much less, display as a countable asset, of her supposed conservative character.

Are you admitting you know nothing about Carly Fiorina? She never lived in SoCal. She was born in Texas, worked most of her life in New Jersey, then lived some years in Northern California (different planet than SoCal), and now she lives in Virginia. Will you at least admit your are wrong?

Everything you wrote there could equally discredit Trump, if not more so.
