Post-Debate Poll: Trump Increases Lead; Fiorina Leaps, Carson Sinks
breitbart.com ^ | John Nolte

Posted on 09/18/2015 11:04:34 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

A Morning Consult poll, released Friday, surveyed 504 registered voters who watched Wednesday’s Republican primary debate and has only good news for Republican frontrunner Donald Trump and Carly Fiorina. While the poll’s sample size is small (with a 4.4% margin of error), the poll’s trend is worth noting.

In this same poll, prior to Wednesday night’s debate, Trump sat at 33% support. Dr. Ben Carson sat in second place with 17% support. Today Trump enjoys 36% support. Carson is still in second place but with just 12% support.

Trump’s lead increased from +16 points to +24%. That’s an +8% jump.

With their shared status as outsiders, it appears as though Carson’s support went to Fiorina. Prior to the debate the former-Hewlett Packard CEO had just 3% support. She now sits in third place with 10%, only -2 points behind second place Carson.

“registered voters”? so this includes democrats and independents? For any poll to be meaningful it needs to be confined to those who would vote in the Republican primaries

I thought the post-debate result would look similar.

Except that I thought Trump will go down a couple points, and everybody will cry “ ‘tis the end of the Donald.....” everywhere on the pundit circuit.

Rubio is a surprise on the chart. Except for that ‘outlier’, the rest looked about right.

Rubio spoke well but no one likes his ideas. Or they think he is speaking from a prepared authorized list of what to like. They view his as a company man.

I should be happy to see these numbers. I just can’t get myself to be.

The people who run these numbers and the numbers themselves can’t be trusted.

Is this real? What about those numbers showing Carson doing so well just a few days ago?

Is this real, or are we watching a group effort to make Trump look bad when the fake 36% becomes the 24% it really was all along?

I don’t know what this means or what is to come.

It’s one day at time with the future of our nation in the balance.

Trump/Cruz 2016

Trump, if he is the nominee, should win.

Most of America, and a lot of dems included, will be voting First Against the MSM, Second Against Obama and Third, against Hillary.

Fox News is shocked. They were just putting the finishing touches on the coffin.

And after the 2nd amendment policy release, there should be a shotgun next to the desk.

Pinging the artist, bobalu, for thanks and more ideas...

I saw those ads. It is hard to say you’re ready to fix the economy when your corporate solution was cutting California jobs and sending the work to China, then getting a bonus of tens of millions.

Actually it looks about like I thought it would. A little surprised that Trump went up. I figured he would stay the same. Trump/Cruz ticket for me.

Looks like an unreliable flash poll

Why? Because the results are not your liking? Do you have a PhD in statistics? AT least a Master's?

TRUMP!! The man’s a steamroller..

More like a throw back to the Spartans.

Leonidas had 300 to hold against Xerxes..

Trump has a key staff group of 35 against the combined GOPe, MSM, Liberals, dims and and assorted communists.

He also sports a Mullet

Do not get excited, Carly will lose in general worse than she lost in California. The Rats will spend much bigger amounts of money against her in general.

And conservatives will stay home in droves.

I’d like to turn your questions over to you? Is it because you happen to like the results? How about the earlier HotAir poll that shows Trump crashing down?
