Why oh why was the poll showing Carson tied with Trump trumpeted so widely and loudly?

-—To use Carson as a wedge to try and split Trump support thus giving Jeb an easier path — just my opinion

That's pretty simple. Those here on FR who detest Mr. Trump were ecstatic to see that poll that had Mr. Carson and Mr. Trump tied. Those who detest Mr. Trump were thrilled that they could proclaim that “they told you so” that Mr. Trump was a “flash in the pan” and would soon fall to the wayside, and this was their signal to announce their superior intellect and denounce those who have any type of support of Mr. Trump as heretics, idiots, morons, jerks, lowlifes, low information voters, asshats, etc, etc...

I suppose I've gotten my point across.

It was their FINAL HOPE at stopping Trump...but it was obviously an outlier.

Trumpeted very loud on Fox News. Brit RINO Hume just said they are tied in Iowa! He didn’t want to hear about any other poll saying otherwise. Trump has no problems with the poll but he is quick to say he’s leading Carson in all other Iowa polls and all nation-wide polls.

Yup, what Michelle said , and as usual ...

“Don’t believe your lying eyes” :)

Trump IS the buzz in Iowa, even by the non-politicals I talk to.

It’s pretty amazing!

though I like Carson, it was just a matter of time until the MSM took it upon themselves to have someone on Trumps case.

The same MSM is building up/pushing Fiorina. I am not suggesting that both Carson and Fiorina are not surging, I just think they are being given some help
