Polls (or Likes) can so easily be manipulated they should be banned. But then what would pundits and reporters have to analyze endlessly.
You believe facebook like and Twitter followers have any reliability?
Well, while the media is celebrating over that .. maybe they’ll forget to see what Cruz is doing; to their detriment.
Karl Rove’s finger is sore.
Agree excellent catch.
Let’s see if ANY of the Salem outfits (Townhall, HotAir, Twitcy) report on this.
Wow, what complete B.S. Thank you Proust for catching this...
Are they real or fake? Like Obama’s phony Twitter followers.

Send to Rush and Drudge?
Folks, I hate to say this to Carson supporters, but there’s simply no way these numbers are real.
The man doesn’t have enough visibility to be pulling in this much support.
The nation doesn’t like or dislike Carson enough for this to be real.
Bots, I am sure. I know I had “liked” his page and “unliked” it after what he had to say in Ferguson.
Reading some of the posts when I did that, it was clear many there did not know what he had said and were just going gaga over him.

No, but perception is reality. Social proof is power on the weak.
I was just asking/complaining (this time legitimately) do 25% of your conservative friends/family/coworkers/etc support Carson? Could 25% even ID him if he were on a Tshirt?
Mark Levine had Carson on last night. Mark asked (my words) why the surge? Carson answered “social media”.
Yes, it is very busy.
Yes!!
And if you Tweet send to Trump and his campaign Twitter.
And I don’t buy that Carson is as popular with church goers as Trump, Cruz and Huckabee.
Carson has no executive experience, no military experience, no foreign policy background and never held a political office.
Trump may not have been in congress, but he has definately been a political player, Trump Enterprises is in many country which keeps him current on how countries treat American interests. Laugh if you want but many in the Officers Cadre came from a military school background, its the minor league of the services. And nobody in the Republican field this cycle has Trumps business background.
Cruz one ups Carson in his legal background, his solicitor general position in Texas, his time in the Senate, and his vocal courageous stands against Planned Parenthood, the Iran deal, Obamacare and illegal executive amnesty.
I have not seen Carson put himself out there on issues.
He is for government telling us to get vacines, Carson is pro amnesty, and seems to be winning on his quiet ways.
Meanwhile Carson reminds me that polls said people voted for Obama because they liked him personally.
And likable Obama has been a failure from the beginning, no experience isn’t a qualifier for the hardest job in the world.
I have been tweeting the anomaly out. Others need to spread the BS on Twitter.
