Trump continues to lead the GOP field with 35 percent of the vote, down from the 40 percent who said they would support him in last week’s Morning Consult tracking survey. Carson finishes in second place, with 20 percent of the vote.

Trump Bump. Anyone wants on a Trump ping, let me know. Have a great day. Make America Great Again!!
Carson won’t get crossover votes, so yes, if he is the nominee - say hello to President Hillary Clinton. Carson puts me to sleep and I can’t imagine listening to him give a State of the Union speech. It would be more like a State of the Union Sleep speech. He might want to give them late at night for the insomniacs.
I don’t understand this Carson surge at all either..can somebody explain it to me? Is it overexposure!
Carson is the “nice” outsider alternative to Trump that the little old ladies who complain about how “mean” Trump is have been looking for.
I think we’re seeing Carson in the rear-view mirror getting smaller and smaller despite what these phony-sounding reports about Iowa say.
If Carson is the Nominee, My Family and I will stay home on election day. No on eI know here likes him.He will not carry the south. The SDA cult crap, gun grabber, amnesty pimp, and his friends Sharpton and Farrakhan doesnt go over well here. It may to the dumb-ass white guilt folks up north and in the midwest(Iowa) but not here. A pacifist as Command in Chief are you kidding me ole Vlad and Xi would love that.
Command=Commander, phone auto correct butcher
Is this Poll nationwide? Or is this for a certain state?
LOL
Dr. Carson is the LAST bullet left for GOPe & the Media to shoot down Trump.
Carson up 6 from last week. If you look at the internals: http://morningconsult.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/151006_crosstabs_trend_v2_AP.pdf (LOL Page 156) Trump Men: 35, Women 34. Almost no gender gap. Hmmmm
I don’t get it either. Especially after he came out for amnesty.
National
I didn’t believe the 40%, and I don’t believe the 35%.
Folks, they prop them up to knock them down.
They had to put Trump at 40% to show him declining.
When he gets to the 32% he had all along, they can’t describe it as him have lost a major slice of his support.
Horse stuff...
I think 40% last week was a little high. 34 two weeks ago and this week’s 35, nationally seem more correct. Let’s be real folks. It’s a long time to the first votes. Slow and steady wins, usually.
National Tracking Poll #151006, October, 2015.
“confirms the Iowa numbers to some extent”
Nope. Coverage of the Iowa “surge” is generating a surge nationwide. Get ready.
This may not be a bad thing. If Carson wins Iowa and Trump wins NH the race will be polarized between them.
The rise of the anti Trump is inevitable. Carson will be very easy to beat.
Carson won’t be the nominee, he’s basically the outsider for folks who haven’t been sold on Trump... The nomination is Trump’s to lose at this point.
Should he collapse, I’d say Cruz is the most likely one to benefit, but Cruz has general election issues as well.. As much as I personally like Cruz ideologically, I think in a general he’s going to have a much harder time than Trump to win.
Trump’s support is far broader than anyone is willing to admit, the blue dog democrats are going to go trump big time... swing voters will break overwhelmingly Trump if he is on the ticket. Cruz, not so much.
Can Cruz beat Hillary? Maybe, maybe not... there is no doubt Trump will wipe the floor with her.
Its not like I dislike Carson. I just at this point prefer Trump.
Both men are not part of the establishment that the rank and file conservatives have revolted against. But of all the candidates it has been Trump has the leader that has taken hit after hit and is still in the lead.
Iowa, say what you want -they like to do things their own way. But I would not put it past the pollsters to pull something like polling particular areas while ignoring others. I can see Carson getting the evangelical votes more than Trump.
I think Trump is doing fine, he is going from rally to rally drawing big crowds at each. It has been fin watching the media forcing themselves to cover him only to have him bash said media.
If immigration can stay as one of the top topics - Hillary doubled down and said she would go beyond Obama. That comment will be in tv ads soon.
I do believe the Trump Train is chuggin along just fine.
