For the second consecutive day, Ben Carson has emerged on top of the Republican field in Iowa, knocking off Donald Trump, who the top choice when voters are asked which candidate they’d like to see drop out of the race.
The Bloomberg Politics/Des Moines Register poll has Carson receiving support from 28 percent of likely Republican Caucus participants, nine points ahead of Trump.
It’s a significant shift from the last Bloomberg poll conducted in August. Since then, Carson has risen 10 points and Trump has dro0pped four.

I’d say that’s not too far fetched.
That headline is a complete lie and contradicts the actual story.
The story itself is nothing but 3 misspelled paragraphs talking about a poll that says nothing about who should drop out.
Gee the headline title can’t just read ‘Carson tops polls’... No but “who should drop presidential bid?”.
Yeh, right. They think we are all idiots. Works on the mindless Dem drones—not us.
“The problem with being polarizing within your own party, is that you end up alienating the other pole. “
I really think that’s what the left has conditioned many to believe over the years. One of the left’s famous statements: “Why can’t we just get along”.
But the fact is, in order to do push back, in order to get a message out to the people, the politicians need to state their beliefs. It’s obvious the majority of Americans want the illegals gone. That’s one of Trump’s top priorities. That’s the biggest thing that is causing “polarizing”. Additionally, Trump stands his ground.
Same goes for Cruz, he’s stepping on toes, he’s arguing for the righteous causes that will restore America. That’s push back. And in the eyes of a lib, that’s polarizing. If Trump were out of the picture and Cruz had higher numbers, all would be after that “Polarizing” guy.
So if no one is to polarize, then I guess we need good ole Jebbie, cause he just wants to get along. Of course I disagree with this as this type of attitude is what has trashed America.
In the simplest of terms, I say:
“GO TRUMP! GO”.
Polarizing is push back. We need more of it so the real America haters show their true colors!
Makes sense. Each person who supports somebody other than Trump, thinks that HIS candidate would become the front runner if only Trump dropped out.
And if you paid attention to the articles you read, you would know what the GOPee is doing by pitting a candidate against another one, and has been doing it right from the start...
And as far as Carson being the outsider that ‘we’ want, no WE don't..he's a wimp puppet being used by the GOPee....
Here's my Should Be Bye-Bye List:
Christie
Paul
Kasich
Jindal
Pataki
Santorum
And, until that happens, I would put only the top 5 on the Big Boys Debate. The Little Boys and Girls Debate would be Fiorina, Huckabee and Paul. That is certainly the debate split we are heading to.

Ah, so you like Linda Graham’s chances for a come-from-behind victory? :-)
(I know, I shouldn’t use “linda graham” and “come-from-behind” in the same sentence. BAD optics.)
That’s what I’m thinking.
You can get pretty much whatever result you want when you use hand-picked voters.
The Bloomberg Politics/Des Moines Register poll says:
See, nobody likes you! You should leave.
Dear Longbow1969:
HarleyLady is probably referring to Sundance (The Conservative Treehouse) and his excellent breakdown on the GOPe Roadmap to 2016 Victory, where the research shows Carson is shilling for Jeb.
Have you done your homework on what Sundance has been writing, like Rush Limbaugh, or are you just going to keep putting out Rove falsehoods about Trump here on FR?
Let’s hear you try to refute Sundance’s research. LOL. Sundance even tripped up Ted Cruz.
http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2015/10/11/ted-cruz-the-reality-of-the-situation/
Sundance posted before the last debate that the Cruz people promised him their electoral “math” but they just didn’t have the numbers, so they lied.
How the freak is Carson so high? He’s a flip-flopper, naive about many matters, and boring to boot. I cannot believe this to be accurate. He’s a nice guy and all that, but “nice” has nothing to do with anything.
What I said is Carson is the candidate, at least currently, that Republicans who want an outsider but NOT Donald Trump seem to be supporting.
You seem to believe that "you" and "we" are synonymous. You are a fanatic Trump follower, many Republicans don't like him at all. So you really don't know what "we" want until after the nomination process is over and a candidate has been settled upon.
I think it highly unlikely that nominee will be Trump. I also find it highly likely that you will believe it is some kind of conspiracy to prevent your GodKing from ascending to Presidency.
Carson rarely if ever says anything negative about Trump - or any of the other candidates. He has got to the most passive candidate I have ever seen. It isn't some GOPe conspiracy, Carson is simply getting a lot of evangelical support that might would have otherwise gone to Huckabee. He is also getting support, as I pointed out earlier. from those who would like to see an outsider nominee as long as it isn't Trump.
Trump is not even close to as popular as you think, mostly people many Republicans know he isn't a real conservative.
>> “She” will be lucky get re-elected to the Senate.
Your lips to GOD’s ear!
Very nice.
Well they are downwind of Colorado...
He's not but polls are for suckers.
>> Well they are downwind of Colorado...
Excellent point. Better explanation than any I’ve heard so far.
And Carson said he was a liberal before coming into the Republican party...so is he any different than Reagan or Trump? NO, he’s just like them...read things...learn things....
And when I say WE that’s what I mean WE....you can have your GOPee puppet...WE don’t want him....
