OK I got that, so it was 40-18 Trump on Oct 17, and is 33-26 Carson Yesterday. A swing of 29 total. I guess that story of Trump doing something dastardly I missed.
Candidates with high-profile names are hard to poll. Just ask Rudy Giuliani and Hillary last time. Early polls over-represent simple name recognition. As personalities and issues come into to focus for more people, polls are bound to change. And as real votes are counted, polls change again as people move on to considering candidates they were neutral about before.
Trump’s celebrity might have just given him an early poll advantage, and now more people are being cautious as campaigning becomes more routine.
If you assume that the polls are correct (a big if?) and there is some movement for Carson you have to wonder why that is. Carson hasn't said or done anything recently to justify movement in his direction. He's been on a book tour! That leaves you wondering what Trump may have done to turn voters off. The only thing I can think of is that these polls are showing some blowback from his 9-11 comments. Especially since they've been characterized as 'Truther' comments, which they certainly are not. If there is movement I think it's temporary and Trump has plenty of time to recover.
