As the calendar turns to fall, Republican Presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson is beginning to spring into contention as front-runner Donald Trump also appears to gain strength in a recent Gravis Marketing poll completed at the end of August 2015. Gravis Marketing, the nonpartisan research firm based in Winter Springs, Fla. recently conducted a random telephone survey of 957 registered voters in Iowa regarding the upcoming 2016 Presidential election – gauging the pulse of registered voters on both sides of the Presidential isle. This poll was completed utilizing Gravis IVR technology and represents a margin of error of ± 3.2% [4.4% for Republican Caucus/4.8% for Democratic Caucus]. The telephone survey was conducted 8-29-2015 To 8-31-2015

That’s not 32, it’s only 31.7 ;)
MOE of 4.4% means anyone with less than that could be considered background noise.
Why oh why was the poll showing Carson tied with Trump trumpeted so widely and loudly?
That means Jebburito could be at -0.4.
Folks will feel better if they think of the margin of error in excess of ten times the size of the discrepancy you pointed out.
= :^)
I know you’re kidding...
Bush 4% sinking sinking going going... gone
But... but... but... tough guy Hebbie don’t need no steenkin’ Purell!
yes. The Donald is well outside the Margin of error.
Jeb in 8th place!
Fancy that -.4% He has descended into the realm of theoretical mathematics...
Bush at 4.1% and dropping.
I am a Cruz supporter, but I love smelling the desperation from the John Ellis Bush camp.
Trump makes everything personal, and he’s a germophobe!
As Groucho Marx once said, “Those are my principles, and if you don’t like them... well, I have others.”
OK 4.1, so with a MOE of 4.4% he could still be -0.3%. Still theoretical mathematics territory, LOL. Like square root of a negative one...
You left out quite a few. Cruz, Rubio, Walker, Jindal, and Fiorina (in that order) all are in the range between Carson and Bush.
With 2 instagram posts, Trump cut Jeb’s numbers in half.
Bye, bye, Jebby Bush, American worker opposition.
Don’t let the screen door hit ya.
so sue me
A much deserved kick in the stomach to Jebbie Bush.
