A month after CNN's Republican debate rocketed Carly Fiorina to the top tier of GOP contenders, her poll numbers are beginning to slip.
Fiorina's polished debate performance -- her takedown of Donald Trump, fluency on foreign policy issues and passionate criticism of Planned Parenthood -- instantly elevated her in the eyes of Republican primary voters who have flocked to Washington outsiders this cycle.
"I think her rise was no surprise to people who have watched her in New Hampshire," said former New Hampshire GOP Chairman Fergus Cullen. "Her exposure in the last couple of debates really put her on the radar with non-junkies."
Fiorina rose to second place nationwide in the CNN/ORC poll immediately following the debate. But in the weeks since, her campaign has appeared to lose steam. A Fox News poll from mid-October puts Fiorina in fourth place, drawing just 5% support from Republicans.

I am shocked...seriously....bwahahahaha!

Shocking!
Just as soon as she began praising democrat judges, democrat policies, and democrat decisions - well on everything and anything - she began GETTING praise and honor (from Obola’s democrat press corpse) and began LOSING voters from the repubbie electorate!
Her big mistake was her reactionary comments recently. She’s feeling and not thinking.
The more you see and hear from her, the easier it is to understand why she failed at Lucent & HP>
Agree. Snarly has an approachability problem...she grimaces when she tries to smile.
The Carly’s Free Arena Circus show has packed up and left town awhile go.
She was never “skyrocketing” but only in the eyes of the MSM propaganda machine.
Now the MSM is scared.
The GOP base isn’t going to buy into their choices and their choices are out of $$$
They can’t do a shadow company to throw $$$ at someone because they need all that $$$ to fight off RAT challengers.
...and at the top stands TRUMP
‘Tis a fine line one must walk, to both gain the applause of the bloviating and self-important merdia (spelling intentional, just a little Spanglish there), and to come across as convincing to potential Republican voters.
Something like trying to serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. (Matthew 6:24)
Good! She’s a very despicable person, solid RINO to the core.
BS. She was pimped by the msm, and they got tired of her.
Her debate answers were practiced punch lines that she used over and over.
I don't dislike her, but other than her uterus, why bother?
With her resume, if she were a male, she would be the same as randpaulchristiecreamlindagrahamgeorgiapatakitheexgubbernorofvirginiajebrubbyoo, etal.
GET OFF THE FFFENN STAGE.
GOPEs/Democrats: “Well, that didn’t work. Trump’s still far ahead and Heb’s and Rubio’s numbers are still in the tank. ... Now, where did I put that ACME mail order catalog? ...”
In the Foxnews debate, Kasich was magically moved from the kiddie table to the big table. After the debate, the newsies hailed him as the new golden haired presumptive.
In the CNN debate, Fiorina was magically moved from the kiddie table to the big table. After the debate, the newsies hailed her as the new golden haired presumptive.
The more people found out about both, the further their numbers dropped.
Fiorina’s previous political and issue history is counter to her (or the media) claiming she is a conservative. Most of those in the GOP field run as conservatives and change to moderate or extreme moderate (leftist, for those in Rio Linda) and govern as such.
“A month after CNN’s Republican debate rocketed Carly Fiorina to the top tier of GOP contenders...”
That really never happened.
Good. She’d get wiped in the General. She was a disaster when she ran for Senate here in CA. Her horrid record at HP didn’t help matters any.
Isn't working out that way, hah.
Fiorina got only a momentary, empty flash-in-the-pan surge in the polls. She isn't, nor will she be, nor was she ever, a serious factor in this GOP field.
It's just a matter of time (maybe within two weeks) before Carson also loses traction...and he, too, will collapse like a $25 suit from the Mens' Warehouse.

Hard work in an early state or glowing endorsements from the MSM will get people to take a look at a candidate, or even a second look. They might even decide they like the candidate as a person, but that in no way means the candidate will receive their support.
Check Carson’s trend:
BTW: Be careful where you put your cursor, because it could drag you to a previous date, which will change all the figures on the right.
The line needs to be on the far right to see the lastest figures on the right.
...and...., just so you’ll know, I spent $32.75 for my last suit there! So there... = :^)
Whoa, SECRETARIAT!
Now the race is on, and here comes Cruz up the backstretch!
Don Trump is movin’ on the inside.
Jeb Bush is holding back — trying not to fall!
Rick Perry’s out of the running,
Walker’s scratched for another’s sake
Now the race is on and it looks like Ted Cruz,
and Fio-RINO loses all.
