A Survey USA poll of 2712 registered voters in Florida taken between Wednesday and Sunday (or four post-CNBC debate days) shows that in a head-to-head match-up with Hillary Clinton, outsiders Donald Trump and Dr. Ben Carson would defeat the former-Secretary of State, while establishment favorites (and hometown boys) Jeb Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) would lose to the likely Democrat nominee.
Oh, and contrary to the incessant Narratives emanating from our corrupt DC Media, in this must-win swing state of Florida, when up against Clinton, Trump is doing +1 point better with Hispanics than Jeb, and a full +7 points better than the Hispanic Rubio.
Against Hillary, Trump also does better with women than either Rubio or Bush.
Just another reminder that rather than report the truth, the DC Media reports what it wishes was the truth.
Trump defeats Clinton 47% to 43%. He wins males by 53% to 39%, and only loses with females by -5 points, 42% to 47%. Trump wins 35% of Non-Cuban Hispanics, compared to Clinton's 57%.
Carson beats Clinton 47% to 44%. He wins males by 50% to 40%, and loses with females by only -5 points, 43% to 48%. Carson wins 36% of Non-Cuban Hispanics, compared to Hillary's 60%.
Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush loses to Clinton 44% to 46%. He loses with females by -8 points, 41% to 49% and picks up 34% of Non-Cuban Hispanics compared to 56% for Clinton.

Ping
Ben Carson is not going to be president. And he’s not a conservative
Wow! What does that say about you as a candidate that voters in your OWN state would not vote for you?
This one will blow the head off the pundits!
Thank you for the ping.
This is good....;>)))
>>Ben Carson is not going to be president. And he’s not a conservative<<
Donald Trump is not going to be president. And he’s not a conservative.
(Now we get to see if either one of us has the first part right.)
Trump is somewhat unpredictable. Who knows what he’ll do in office.
You could tell us how Carson is conservative
He strikes me as someone who is idealistic
What would he do about abortion? I had he done anything with the AMA who has given up on first do no harm?
You lose. Carson won’t sell outside of the South, while Trump already is, on the economy alone, in national polls.
Also, Democrats aren’t all that jacked up about illegal immigration either.
You have 250,000 African refugees arriving in the USA forthwith, and 40,000 criminals released from prisons starting this past weekend, the border is still open to the south, and Black Lives Matter stands up with the potential to join up with Farrahkan and his Million Man March, and we have to ask who is going to vote for that?
Democrats? I don’t think so. Carson is not a trumpet against anything much. Then there’s Trump, who stands there like a lion ready to clean up the place, or at least try.
“Wow! What does that say about you as a candidate that voters in your OWN state would not vote for you?”
Just posted this “good news” over on LIttle Hebbie’s FB page. The few posters over there who are still “anxioulsly awaiting Heb to be the next president,” are becoming speechless as the bad news mounts for “their guy!”
Oh now that is funny!
“Oh now that is funny!”
You should go take a look for yourself. The only positive inputs are from Spanish surname folks and a a smattering of people who are so in love with themselves that they use their middle names!
Interesting demographic breakout from the poll.

Looks like it’s all catching up to Ben.
>>You could tell us how Carson is conservative<<
I don’t know if conservative is the best word for Dr. Carson. I think a better one might be pragmatic. By that I mean I think he’ll try to determine what would work best and then would set out trying to sell his position. This is what good leaders do. I think his belief system is based on self reliance, coupled with the need to care for those who can’t care for themselves. That is, in my opinion, the essence of conservatism.
He’s for a simpler tax system, ideally a flat tax and his justification appeals to the average person. It went along the lines of you make a thousand you give a hundred; you make a billion, you give a hundred million. He coupled that with the comment that people say you’re not hurting the rich guy enough, why would you want to hurt him? This is pure common sense coupled with a true sense of fairness, rather than the fake fairness that Dems are always doling out.
He wants a more sensible healthcare system with people not dependent on the government, and more importantly, the healthcare system not tied to the government. That’s exactly where we need to go. (Trump is on record saying that nationalized healthcare works, by the way, implicitly supporting it.)
He’s not PC. Furthermore, he seems to be the one candidate that can explain the problem with being PC without launching into bombast (you know who I mean.) His explanation during the last debate of how being against same sex marriage does not make one a homophobe was dead on accurate, but if advanced by any other candidate, the press would have crucified that candidate. Not so with Dr. Carson, perhaps because they know he’s right and will continue to elaborate, and convince others, if they pursue it. He stood by his expressed opinion that a muslim believer in sharia law should not be elected to a national office, a common sense position for anyone supporting the Constitution, and he gained ground for standing his ground.
People wonder why Dr. Carson keeps picking up supporters. I think it’s because he’s a natural leader that people are drawn to, whom they respect, and, importantly, will support and follow given the opportunity. They will do so because they think he understands the issues and is looking for common sense ways to address them.
Ask yourself this: Would Dr. Carson have created the havoc in the center cities today that our current President has, or would he have come up with sensible ways to improve their residents’ lots, rather than subject them to rising rates of homicide and serious crimes?
All that said, I could easily support Cruz, Rubio, Fiorina, even Gov. Bush if it (sadly) came down to that, but Donald Trump is a bridge too far. I won’t vote for a bombastic, narcissistic, crony capitalist of the first order who speaks to voters as though they are 5th graders. (Had to work that last bit in, because it’s true, in more ways than one.)
Q: If the Republican primary for president were today, who would you vote for?
