Ben Carson and Donald Trump are tied among GOP voters in Pennsylvania, a new poll finds.
Carson and Trump each receive 18 percent support from registered Republicans in the Keystone State, according to the Mercyhurst University Center for Applied Politics poll on Monday.
Former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-Fla.) trails them with 9 percent. Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina next grabs 8 percent support among registered Pennsylvania Republicans.
Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.) and Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) are in a struggle for fifth place with 4 percent apiece.

So Trump is the conservative and Cruz is the liberal? Thanks for your insight.
Your words, not mine. Go back and read my quote. I said former liberals can spot “liberalism” a mile away—and we can. But you and you alone are calling Cruz a “liberal.” I would never do so, but whatever floats your boat.
Sadly, I'd have to agree. What's more, watching him talk to voters is kinda like watching a steam roller iron shirts.
That was why I got cold feet when Cruz went with Beck to the border and handed out teddy bears and soccer balls. That is a liberal response to a country-killing problem. No thanks.
Those are your responses not mine. Own them.
Cruz is a conservative who, when he addressed the foreign invader crisis with soccer balls and teddy bears, did indeed engage in a liberal response. That doesn’t make him a liberal. On the majority of issues he’s conservative. [I didn’t care for him backing Obama on the trade agreement—with a WSJ editorial, no less—and I don’t like his plan to issue vast #s of visas, or his refusal to use the word “deport.” But on everything else, so far as I know, he’s conservative.] It’s just that the wide open border is a serious, country-killing issue, and of all the times to engage in a liberal activity, this was the worst.
I’m sure Carson is a nice person and a skilled neurosurgeon. How ANY voter could think that would make him a good POTUS is completely beyond me.
Our issues are monumental, and this ship isn’t going to be easy to turn around, to put it mildly. We need someone with a huge amount of organizational and leadership skill to lead us out of it. Being a nice person is way down my personal list of qualifications when I pick a candidate.
Thank you.

I can’t get fired up watching him. I know what you mean.
I actually agree with the guy almost all the time.
I might surprise him this Thanksgiving with Sam Adams Pumpkin beer.
Since Pilsner Urquell switched to brown bottles - what a difference. I put that brew right up there with the best of what Sam Adams puts out.
I think your BIL will like the pumpkin beer.
