A new poll conducted by Zogby Analytics after last week’s Republican presidential debate on CNN shows Donald Trump leading Dr. Ben Carson by 20 points.

According to the survey, conducted September 18-19, made up of 405 likely Republican primary/caucus voters nationwide, Trump garnered the support of 33 percent, which is an increase of 2 percentage points since Zogby’s previous poll. Dr. Ben Carson remains in second place, but dropped 3 points to 13 percent.

Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush’s support stayed flat at 9 percent, while support for former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina has grown from 2 percent to 7 percent.

The recent Zogby poll is in contrast to a post-debate CNN/ORC poll showing Trump losing support, but still maintaining the top spot in the Republican field. In that survey, Trump garnered 24 percent support, down 8 points from earlier in September. Fiorina skyrocketed from just 3 percent earlier in the month to second place at 15 percent in the CNN/ORC poll. Dr. Ben Carson stands at third place in that poll with 14 percent support among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents.

The latest Zogby poll has a margin or error of 5 points. The CNN/ORC poll has a margin of error of 3 points.

Hey. We need this. What with the universal smear machine in full bore assault, night and day, from every single corner of even the minds of idiots, Trump is in mortal combat. His poll numbers dropped 2 points! Imagine that? We need some fuel. Leave us alone.

Trump is single-handedly shifting the debate back to what used to be the center, and they hate him for that.

Trump defenders claim to support him because he is the most conservative candidate in the race (except for maybe Cruz) and that all the others are in the center, i.e. GOPe, RINO sellouts. What do you mean by Trump is moving the debate back to the center? Isn't that what all the others in the race are accused of doing and which Trump supporters find so heinous?

Not at all.

I’m not sure Trump is a conservative, so that isn’t why I like what he is doing.

The GOPe position before Trump started going off was that we need “comprehensive immigration reform.”

That was the stance for all of the candidates. “We all support amnesty, but let’s not argue about the details.”

Because of Trump, all of the candidates have been forced to talk about immigration and whether they support amnesty. This moved that debate from the left back to the center.

Because Trump is willing to take off the gloves and fight, they have all been forced to drop their GOPe masks and show who they are. And what we’ve seen is that many other candidates who were trying to skate by on a shallow reputation of “being conservative” have proven themselves to be Democrat friendly.

That’s what I like about Trump, that he’s a fighter and won’t “play nice” with the Democrats. We’ve had enough of these democrat-lite GOPers. We need someone who will fight back.

Good assessment. I hadn't really thought of it that way. There really were NO "free market" Republicans (or Federalists) prior to Reagan, so right or wrong, he was really outside the mainstream of Republican (what would have been called "conservative") thought prior to 1981.

I'm working on a bio of Reagan. I've already interviewed many of his intimates and/or administration people, or discussed through e-mails his policies with them. I've already found a number of things "accepted" by even his supposed best biographers that are simply wrong, at least through the SAG years.

We just finished our second documentary, "Other Walls 2 Fall," about music vs. oppression around the world. It features Yanni, Busta Rhymes, Clint Black, a heavy metal band from inside Tehran, a Pakistani rocker threatened with death, etc. www.rockinthewallstudios.com

Finally, when the RR stuff is slow, I've been doing a campaign bio of Trump. :)

Of course it is. I love Trump!

I brought up the xenophobe stuff because you know that is what they call anybody who is pro-American.
