I suspect Trump is waiting until the right time to use his ‘opposition research’ on Dr. Ben. Don’t wait too long, Donald. Dr. Ben may be developing a dossier on you.
All those crossover Democrats pumping up Carson’s numbers will NOT be voting Republican in the general election.
Trump Still the Clear Leader After Latest Debate
(Not an online poll.)
Soft skilled mush brains are the Carson supporters he absolutely sucks on every issue
I sure would like to see a Carson rally.
How big are the crowds at Carson’s rally? I suspect Carson’s numbers are fake
Yeah, NBC.
Trump, Carson, Cruz and Rubio.
1, 2, 3, 4 in this poll.
The Finalists: Trump, Carson, Cruz, Rubio, Clinton.
One will be the next President of the United States.
I’m pulling for President Cruz.
I’ll settle for President Trump.
How is it possible to trust anything published by NBC?
Is this the same NBC which was cancelled by RNC for the debate in 2016?
They think Trump will fall for fake polling and drop out
I can’t make sense of Caron’s numbers at all. I don’t want to send “Mr. Squishy” to negotiate with Putin or ME nutjobbers. I can’t imagine any conservative would. Certainly democrats or GOPe on the other hand....
I had a thought. All this mystery movement to Carson? I wonder if the Trump supporters in part refuse to take part in polls. Particularly those from the network. Also, three of four polls showing Carson ahead in Iowa were from colleges, and covered the same period of time. Trump folks are more likely to be not prone to be interested in some whiny college kid on the phone, where as Carson’s folks might be more patient. The supporters are a reflection of the personality of their chosen candidate.
Tagline ....
You mean, after the debate, anyone still gives NBC any credence at all?
“In a survey of Republicans and Republican-leaning independent voters”
Not a terribly useful or meaningful sample set given that the primaries will be Republican-only votes except for those states that have open primaries.
I assume NBC wouldn’t have liked the results if they had included just Republican voters.
The poll definitely got the debate winner and loser correct.
Glad to see Cruz on the rise. There’s no way he would spike up to 2nd place just because of the debate. But he’s moving in the right direction and has a chance to catch some momentum.
There’s no earthly reason why anyone who knows Cruz’ record should pick Carson over Cruz. Cruz has done more to defend religious and moral concerns than Carson has. He defended religious liberty cases at the Supreme Court and he showed up to defend Kim Davis this year. Where was Carson on that one? And obviously Carson doesn’t hold a candle to Cruz on his depth of knowledge on economic and national security issues. Trump and Cruz should be the top two.
The reality is that people who weren’t paying attention to politics during the Obamacare filibuster/shutdown know very little about Cruz. He just looks like another face on the stage to them. Cruz’ challenge is to get his bio and the evidence of his convictions out there. He needs to talk more about himself than simply about his current positions on the issues.
Internet push pole. Disregard. Not used in RealClearPolitics.
Today’s IBD poll showing Trump ahead 28 to 23% is a phone phone and used for averaging by RCP.
Carson is a nice man but he has no chance of winning. He is a amnesty supporter and he has not even renounced it like Rubio has. He is boring, closes his eyes while speaking, very low energy. Trump or Cruz in 2016.
