The first major national poll since the second GOP debate finds Carly Fiorina surging into a second place and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s campaign in total collapse.
The survey by CNN of 444 registered Republican voters put Donald Trump in first place with 24% support, a drop of 8 points since their last poll, and Fiorina in second place with 15%. Fiorina earned plaudits on the right for her debate performance, which included multiple clashes with Trump, although fact checkers pointed out that she vividly cited footage from a hidden camera video of Planned Parenthood that does not appear to exist. 52% of respondents said Fiorina was the winner of the debate while 31% said Trump lost.
Dr. Ben Carson, who had surged into second place in many polls after the first debate in August, stood in third at 14%. Sen. Marco Rubio leapt from single digits to fourth place with 11% of the vote, followed by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at 9%, Sen. Ted Cruz and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee at 6%, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul at 4%, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at 3%, Ohio Gov. John Kasich at 2%, and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum at 1%.
Missing from the list was Walker, who earned less than half a percentage point support, putting the former frontrunner in the same category as long shots like Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, and former New York Gov. George Pataki.
Walker started the race strong early this year and regularly led polls of Iowa through July, where he’s still hoping to jumpstart a comeback with a strong performance in the state’s caucuses. A combination of

Real estate mogul Trump has widened his lead to 20 points in a brand new Zogby Analytics poll taken after the second Republican presidential debate. The new poll of 405 likely Republican primary/caucus voters nationwide with a margin of sampling error of +/- 5.0 percentage points, conducted September 18-19, shows Mr. Trump with 33% (up 2 points from his pre-debate 31%). In second place is neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson who actually dropped 3 points to 13%.

I would have crawled over broken glass for Scott Walker while he was fighting the government unions in Wisconsin. He has been an EXCELLENT governor in many ways. However, it seems since he decided to run for President, Scott has not made any decisions for Wisconsin. His wishy-washy stance on Common Core has left me and many of his followers disillusioned. Since Rick Wiley became his campaign manager, Scott has made some serious mistakes. One of them was canceling speaking engagements that he had made with Michigan voters and donors-twice!- to head to concentrate on Iowa. He is being managed very poorly and listening to bad advise to his peril.
No-vote.
This paper examines the growth of government during this century as a result of giving women the right to vote. Using cross-sectional time-series data for 1870 to 1940, we examine state government expenditures and revenue as well as voting by U.S. House and Senate state delegations and the passage of a wide range of different state laws. Suffrage coincided with immediate increases in state government expenditures and revenue and more liberal voting patterns for federal representatives, and these effects continued growing over time as more women took advantage of the franchise. Contrary to many recent suggestions, the gender gap is not something that has arisen since the 1970s, and it helps explain why American government started growing when it did.
I did not know that he could go for a third term. Thanks for letting me know.
Scott was my first choice for a long time too... He’s a good man.
A CNN poll reported on MSNBC, so it has to be accurate and correct. /sarc
I really like Walker, too, but he’s just not standing out like some of the other guys.
The RNC loves Jebra!
After all, the RNC does love Jebracita, but Jebracita loves Mehico!
So the GOPe is holding 26-32% of the vote. Trump hasn’t clobbered them and we’re losing the greatest opportunity of a generation with Walker. What a mess, thanks Donald.
Well at least we know that the progs at New Republic don’t want a union buster for POTUS. Why must conservatives be entertained?
We’d toss out Lincoln and Coolidge as too boring. Stupid.
Breaking the federal unions and shutting down the NLRB isn’t bold enough?
The problem we face is a direct result of the Deep State. Walker’s the only candidate to face the Deep State and win.
I pretty much ignore the polls. I go on my gut feeling. I still can’t say who I’d vote for at this moment. I like Trump’s “ I don’t give a dam what you call me” attitude, I like Ben Carson’s intelligent approach to things. I like Carley’s “hacked off attitude”. She scares me some though. She reminds me of the CEO at the place I used to work at. We had a ***** come in and where I was at wasn’t broke, as in if it ain’t broke don’t fix it and she proceeded to fix it. In 7 years she fired or drove off over 85 of the 120 people there when she came in. Moral is still in the toilet, all of my friends still there absolutely hate their job but have in enough time that you don’t want to give up the weeks vacation and pay. We do need that in DC though, it is broke and we need someone to call both parties in and grab them by the jewels and fix it. I just don’t know. I don’t trust Rubio, I like Cruz but again, I just don’t know.
My God, the guy's biggest income has been his salary as governor - which is comparable to a mid-level manager with about 10 years' experience. No wonder he still clips coupons.
That’s why I’m so disappointed in Walker. He had the right platform but couldn’t deliver on the national stage. I understand Trump sucking the oxygen out of the room but others like Cruz and Fiorina are aggressively getting their message out at rallies and social media.
What has Walker done besides take a joyride of New Hampshire on his motorcycle and tweet about what a wonderful sunny day it is for a ride?
He’s not a tourist, he’s running for president. At least that’s what we thought he was doing.
Cruz isn’t soaring. Fiorina is and that’s got more to do with Trump, than Fiorina. I wish I had a better answer, but right as he declared he became a target. There isn’t a MSM reporter, editor or writer that isn’t looking to stifle his campaign. They are, thus far, very effective at blocking him.
I also suspect a concerted campaign by unions and Democrats who know that Walker will be like Reagan or Coolidge and deregulate aggressively, especially with GOP Congressional control. The Deep State knows this and wants to live. It’ll fight Walker hardest.
It’s weird that the three leading candidates aren’t conservative.
I think the fact that they are non-lawyer/non-politicians is the key.
