Ben Carson is fading fast in the latest Fox News New Hampshire poll

Fox News released the results of its latest New Hampshire primary poll on Wednesday, and it doesn't look good for Republican presidential hopeful Ben Carson.

The poll, the first conducted since Friday's attacks in Paris, finds Donald Trump leading the GOP field with 27% of Republican primary voters. Marco Rubio came in second with 13%, with Ted Cruz trailing behind him at 11%.

Everyone else is in single digits.

Jeb Bush and Ben Carson received 9% each. Ohio Gov. John Kasich received 7% and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie received 6%.

Good riddance neophyte.

Good. He needs to retire and read brain surgery books.

Best wishes to him.

[Catmom]

Ditto...

[DoughtyOne]

Carson was always the flavor of the day. NOTHING MORE!

I think the GOPe thought they'd found a winner for a while there. NOPE!

Has BEEN CARSON...

After the events in Paris on 11/13, I will be adding
this to my posts for the next week. I'm certain our
turn is coming again soon. We stand united against
Islamic extremists.

Some music for reflection if the mood strikes you.

An honorable mention also goes out to Lassana Bathily , a Muslim immigrant from Mali.
Mr. Bathily sheltered customers at the Jewish Deli and helped police by providing info
on the terrorists, and providing the location of survivors in the deli.

He is a nice man but he is not what the country needs.

"He is a nice man"

And a policy idiot.

[Norm Lenhart]

i think his liberal comments on Teri Schaivo put to rest the delusion that he;s a nice man. He’s human garbage.

I have previously stated that I could/would support Cruz/Carson/Trump if one of them got the nomination. I have since lost faith in Carson, and no longer support his campaign, while remaining pro Cruz or Trump. I prefer Cruz, but I currently feel that Trump has a better chance of getting the nomination.

[max americana]

another “nice man” comment eh? I’ve seen that said for this sack of sh*t on Fr countless times. Nice man’ is code for

“well, i don’t want to call this Michael Steele 2015 version an ass***e because Freepers might deem me racist!!! Goodness gracious, my liberal white guilt might get me in trouble”

[CitizenUSA]

Honestly? I think some Christians and conservatives are worried about Trump. His personality can be off putting. They were looking at Carson as an alternative. Now that more is known about Carson, will they shift back to Trump, move to Cruz, or go somewhere else? That remains to be seen.

[Mariner]

"will they shift back to Trump, move to Cruz, or go somewhere else?"

They will split between Cruz and the full-on amnesty candidate (Rubio?).

As a result, Cruz will win Iowa handily, then fade out of the race after the March 1st primaries.

If it’s a Fox News poll, you know they weighed or screwed with the data in this sucker in all sorts of different ways just to give Trump a close competitor, but couldn’t pull it off without giving away the game.

That tells you how much Trump is leading. Probably closer to 36 percent, as seen in other polls.

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

When did the Teri Shaivo stuff come out? We’ll need to check the date of that to the date this poll was conducted. I was under the impression it all started going downhill after Mannatech.

For a brain surgeon he certainly presents as a simpleton!?

[Beowulf9]

Well, NOW who will be around to get the message out about the true purpose of the pyramids?

Those dumb archaeologists have gotten it all wrong!

[Concentrate]

I generally agree with what he says, but that weird thing he does with his eyes puts me off. (The odd seemingly involuntary blinking thing...)
What does that signify psychologically, if anything?

[Leaning Right]

I prefer Cruz, but I currently feel that Trump has a better chance of getting the nomination.

Agreed. Another consideration is: Who has the better chance to beat Hillary in the general election? I don't trust Trump 100%, but there is no doubt that he has the better chance.

It's not even close. I've got democrat friends who are VERY excited about Trump. They couldn't care less about Cruz.

[FixitGuy]

Just when I thought we had a chance to return some semblance of morality, pride and patriotism, I'm concerned that we'll end up with Hillary. In many respects she may even be worse for our country than Bammy.

And we shot ourselves in the foot TWICE with him, even though knowing that his background was full of evil self serving crooks which he chose to emulate.

My current disappointment is not so much with the candidates but with the hatred and vitriol of my fellow conservatives who will NEVER be satisfied. We have a field in which the worst would be ten times better than Hillary. And yet we still bitch and call them names. Way to go Freepers. Looks like we still live in the world of sound bytes/bites. Some folks can't commit to a thought process of more than 140 characters!

At least these folks have the courage to run for office thinking that they can make things better. I would hope that they would pull from the best and brightest, particularly from the military,(if we haven't already scraped the bottom of the the General Officers barrel.)

None of these soldiers is perfect but they still deserve the respect of their commander-in-chief. They ask for 30,000 troops and he gives them 15,000.

I'm fully convinced that he IS a Muslim by his behavior. I see a man who surrounds himself with butt kissers and cronies who dare not give sound advice lest they be banned from riding on Air Force One.

Pray with me that we can come together, be unselfish, stand against evil and work to restore the good character of our Homeland. (/Rant)

I would suggest Carson’s supporters would end up throwing their support to Cruz or Huckabee.
