A new national poll out today by OANN and Gravis Marketing has Trump up to 40%, his YUGEST lead ever over his Republican contenders. Here’s how each candidate rated:

While Carson’s lead more than doubled, he’s still a distant second place with the rest of the GOP field behind him. Not that Jeb lost a bit as both Cruz and Fiorina gained.
Here’s the info on the poll:
Gravis Marketing, a nonpartisan research firm, conducted a random survey of 3,567 registered voters across the U.S. regarding the presidential election. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 2%. The total may not equal exactly 100% due to rounding. The polls were conducted on August 21-22 using interactive voice response, IVR, technology and weighted separately for each population in the question presented.
Those first two charts show that the country - even Democrats - are mostly moderate to conservative.
Democrat candidates are hard left. Those charts show that we have done a horrible job educating people to that fact.
Last night on FB a latina who had always voted Democrat and who is scared of Trump because of the immigration thing, is still asking if she should switch parties because of the Planned Parenthood thing. She likes Carson.
That is okay Limp Wrister Lindsee will beat that mean ole bully Trumps brains out in South Carolina where they still fall for his BS.
lol - now you’ve done it!
1. Because Cruz’s recent mistakes on Senate votes and comments cost him dearly. They nearly killed his campaign.
2. Because he’s using the money he’s had donated to raise more money instead of using it to define himself. In some races that’s not necessarily a bad thing. But when things are changing so quickly, investing your cash in raising more cash is risky.
3. Carson came across well in the first debate.
Reality does tend to offend liberals.
That is precisely why Trump taunted Lindsay Graham about Graham’s 4% in S.Carolina. Trump knows why Graham is staying in. S. Carolina will kill Bush if Trump takes Iowa and/or New Hampshire.
They have always got enough “conservative” Party worshipers to vote for the pathetic liberal turds the GOPE trots out. Watch on FR, you have several self-proclaimed “conservatives” who will defend to the death and vote for whomever their master in the Republican Party trots out. It could be Lenin, Ted Kennedy or John Kerry, if they have that (R) in front of their name they will shill for them blindly. Really sad to watch...
I agree they need to drop out, but if the donor money is still coming in they’ll stay in. I just read that Santorum is set to visit all 99 counties in Iowa.
I think most liberals think they are moderates and say so.
lol
What mistakes? What comments?
Ain’t that the truth. LoL any idiot who has watched polls for years would have figured out support doesn’t go to where he thinks it’s going to go without taking an accurate account about how good or bad candidates are campaigning. Trump’s trajectory will be around 50% in October.

I think their seed money is coming from GOPe sponsored PACS....to a) keep the splitters in and b) pay off cronies in some fashion.
Look for Jeb to get a small boost as Walker’s fan club abandons him.
‘Why is Carson surging more than Cruz?’
It appears to be an anti-career-politician wave/election. The Permanet Poltical Class has ruined their brand, and Carson is a chief beneficiary.
Jeb Bush dropped to third place. Ha ha ha!
1. He doubled down on his amendment to quintuple H1B visas for supposed ‘stem’ immigrants.
2. He voted for the stupid Corker bill that is allowing Obama to give nukes to Iran when he should have stood up and demanded it be under the Constitution as a treaty.
3. He voted for TPA, and then said McConnell lied to him.
Those hurt him badly.
That would make sense - Tokyo Rove will shift his GOPe acolytes.
