These polls are being contrived for a narative. They are false.
A sample set of 279 people is NATIONAL poll ( That is not even 6 people per state).What a knee slapping belly laugh joke!!
Any poll that measures anything but individuals intending to vote in a republican primary or intending to attent and vote in a republican caucue is TOTALLY WORTHLESS!!
Carson is not a viable contender. He doen’t have a clue. This is the “Wilder Effect” if it is not totally made up!!

This one claims to do that. It claims 279 republican voters likely to vote in the primary. But 279 IS awful small.

IMHO, the best polls would be if they polled, say, the first 20 states to go to primaries. Then assigned "delegates" accordingly. Your true frontrunner would be the one with the highest "delegate" count.
