The only female GOP presidential candidate, Carly Fiorina, former Hewlett Packard CEO, is ranking in the top ten among the GOP presidential candidates in two national polls.
Fiorina has often been critical of the female Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton and has said she wants the opportunity to debate Clinton.
Public Policy Polling released a new national poll last week, which has Fiorina tied for sixth place with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)96% and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)93% .
The PPP listed the GOP candidates in the following ranking:
Donald Trump with 19%
Scott Walker with 17%
Jeb Bush with 12%
Dr. Ben Carson and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)80% with 10%
Mike Huckabee with 8%
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Carly Fiorina, and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) with 4%
Chris Christie and John Kasich with 3%
Bobby Jindal, Rick Perry, and Rick Santorum with 1% J im Gilmore, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)47% , and George Pataki with less than 1%
Fiorina is tied for seventh place in a national Economist/YouGov poll conducted July 18th to July 20th:
Donald Trump with 28% Jeb Bush with 14% Scott Walker with 13% Ben Carson with 7% Rand Paul (R-KY) with 5% Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) tied with 4% Chris Christie, Carly Fiorina, and Mike Huckabee with 3% Lindsey Graham, Rick Perry, John Kasich with 2% Bobby Jindal and Rick Santorum with 1%
George Pataki with 0%
In order to make the first GOP presidential primary debate on August 6th in Cleveland, Ohio, Fiorina must place in the top 10 of all candidates based on the ranking from an average of five national polls, according to the criteria set out by the host of the debate, Fox News.

ROFLOL!!!!!
Go, Carly!
If you are in the second tier, you are finished. The herd will be culled by just who makes the top 10.
I agree she does very well in interviews. I have not heard very many, but what I did hear was impressive. I won’t vote for her for my own reasons. It will be interesting to hear all the candidates side by side in both the primary and secondary platforms.
Maybe but it doesn’t have to be so. It is still very early. Someone in the second tier could knock it out of the park and move to the top slot, especially since his contrasts will likely be weaker.
gosh, I hope so. The majority needs to hear what this woman has to say.
Highly unlikely. Fox has it in its power to eliminate 6 of them by the first debate—not that it is necessarily a bad thing. But it is a shame that some candidates will have to sit at the kid’s table. Most viewers will not watch that earlier debate.
Quite a few!

“”In 1990, the banking institutions that backed his real estate investments had to bail him out with a $65 million “rescue package” that contained new loans and credit. But it wasn’t enough, and nine months later the famous developer was nearly $4 billion in debt. He didn’t declare personal bankruptcy, although his famous Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City, N.J., did have to file for it (bondholders ended up taking a 50% stake in the investment). Trump’s economic troubles continued through the early ‘90s, while he was personally leveraged to nearly $1 billion. In 2004, Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts also filed for bankruptcy. The company was only a small portion of Trump’s real estate empire, but he did still have to personally cough up $72 million to keep it afloat. In 2009, the same company (by then renamed Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc.) filed for bankruptcy again. Yet during all of this, no one ever told Trump, “You’re fired!” Probably because no one could. “”
Don't remember the last election huh?
She is an outsider, so is Trump but she can speak in complete sentences and all on the same topic.
I have said all along that if she makes the cut she would take some of Trumps wind.
Which ever ones produce the result they want.
Maybe. I don’t know how many people have my same priorities and so her polish will not be enough. But you never know. I would much prefer Cruz and he is a good talker, too.
How much did she have to do with the things Hewlett Packard as a company supported?
It is not the company, it was the employees ,she downsized and we have a few former HP employee posters I am sure.
She was a top adviser to McCain for his campaign. That’s not a good thing.
A repeat loser to boot, thanks for the reminder.
And you think McCain took any advice from a woman? He ignored Palin for a fact.
I hope she is in the top 10, for many reasons including the optics.
Plus she’s better than Krispie Creme and a bunch of the others.
That’s true. But accepting VP is different from offering advice. As adviser you would think she actually supported him. As VP it is more him supporting her.
I won’t be voting for Carly for reasons other than just that she chose to support McCain’s candidacy. If you are voting for her then that’s your choice. I only get one vote and you only get one vote. We can’t do it either way alone.
As do I.
Never underestimate the simplistic but well delivered answers.
Carly makes well thought out completely understandable responses. Remember this one? We'll get under the hood and fix it.
When told that we can't deport the illegal criminals because their county wouldn't take them she replied. There is plenty we can do to force them to take them, start by refusing to issue or accept any Visa's from that country, they will change their mid quickly.
