Donald Trump still leads the GOP presidential pack among Republican voters nationwide, with 31 percent, followed by Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas with 22 percent and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida with 19 percent, according to a Quinnipiac University National poll released today. Dr. Ben Carson has 6 percent, with 9 percent undecided and no other candidate above 3 percent.
In the Democratic race nationwide, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has 44 percent, with Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont at 42 percent, and 11 percent undecided

I’ve never said that Carson was a liar or bought off, what i said was the Carson team is responsible for the mess they created.
All I have addressed is the question of “why he’s doing it.” He says he’s doing it bc he’s angry. Not being God, and therefore able to know supernaturaly and with absolute certitude when a person is lying, I believe it best to take him at his word.
But, but Trump’s unfavorables are so high. How can that be? :-)
“And they both voted for TPA”
Cruz did NOT vote for TPA...he voted for cloture (cloture just ends debate and prevents the libs from adding more crap to the bill), which was inevitable anyway and then he voted AGAINST TPA, which was the actual vote on the bill! There is a difference and to say Cruz voted for a bill that the record clearly shows he did NOT vote for is more misleading than retweeting a CNN report on Carson.
Christie, Bush, and other RINO supporters are coalescing around Rubio - which is why Cruz and Trump need to stop bickering and do something.
So he voted for cloture because it was going to happen anyway? If he was truly a conservative, should have fought this with every breath, not helped move it along.
He voted for cloture to stop the continued wish list from the libs. I said the cloture was inevitable anyway.
“If he was truly a conservative, should have fought this with every breath, not helped move it along.”
You do realize that Trump was a vocal advocate in SUPPORT of TARP and the GM bailouts?? Cruz fought both of those!
The shocker here is Sanders within 2 pts of Clinton nationally.
If Carson is angry about events that’s fine, but in my opinion he might consider looking inward to his own team for where the problems originated.
I do not find fault with the Cruz team for being efficient and on the ball to take advantage of the news that was picked up from CNN on Breaking News.
I wonder if CNN bothered to send the correction as a Breaking News ping?
I see...Also, polls can be pushed depending on questions asked and the demographics...
As I have said before, the only poll I think that matters is the poll on the first Tuesday in November...
And the ones at each caucus and primary.
Well, yes...I agree to that...I am for Trump, then Cruz...then any other republican...
Anybody but Hillary or Sanders....
I wonder what Carson was promised by the GOP-e to help them take out Cruz? I’ve lost respect for Carson. It is pretty clear he is no longer serious about winning, but he is serious about teaming up with the liberal media to take pot shots at Cruz.
LOL, right. Who tweeted a LIE? Carson, or CRuzGate?
CReepy CRuz is doing a great job of taking himself out. He doesn’t need any help from Carson, or any one else.
Denial ain’t just the name of a river......
Certainly a yuge part of Trump's campaign was to disrupt any chance that dynastic doofus would get a foothold.
Hate to see Cruz drop in any poll. Still prefer him or Donald Trump over anyone else on the list.
He is going to drop more if he doesn’t place at least 3rd in New Hampshire. He will get a pass not winning because of no evangelicals. But getting 5th and below will be a blow to his campaign. He is hurt in South Carolina with Carson having 10 percent of the vote right now. Wouldn’t that be amazing if Carson is the cause of Cruz losing South Carolina. That would be karma.
I was watching CNN at the time they announced that Dr. Carson wasn’t going to NH after Iowa that he had to go to Florida for a change of new clothes. They laughed saying “That’s different”. CNN said nothing about Carson dropping out on TV. One has to ask, why new clothes if he’s dropping out.”
Yes Carson was used in Iowa by Ted Cruz.
At the time I thought he was perhaps needing clothes for a funeral. Didn’t one of his staff die in an accident? And on top of the loss he had to deal with dirty politics. Just my thought.
Cruz didn’t mean to.
