Former Hewlett-Packard chief executive Carly Fiorina won Wednesday's Republican presidential debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, according to a poll released Friday.
The poll from Morning Consult found that 29 percent of registered voters who watched the debate said she was the winner.
Real estate mogul Donald Trump came in second with 24 percent.
Third place went to retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson at 7 percent. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush each polled at 6 percent.
However, Morning Consult found Trump still led the primary race with 36 percent support of registered voters who watched the debate. Carson polled at second with 12 percent and Fiorina took 10 percent. All other candidates polled in single digits.
The poll was conducted among 504 registered voters who watched the debate and plan to voter in their state's primary or caucus. Sixty-nine percent identified as Republicans. The margin of error was 4.4 points.
With the exception of Drudge and a few other polls not controlled by mainstream or the Washington establishment you would NEVER show he won anything.
They do not want him.
He must be removed based on the Washington elites.
There is no even playing field, only his mouth and deeds will carry Trump through.
Plus if you look at that face Fiorina looks like a sour puss vindictive unhappy bitch! There I said it.
I agree Fiorina’s campaign is implausible at best.
She lost her US Senate race to Boxer, then moved to the DC area.
She was fired at HP.
She does not have my vote, although I think she’s a good debator and is generally good on TV.
But that is not enough.
If the election were held today, I think my vote would go to Cruz, who I regard as the smartest and most experienced candidate on stage. And yes, he is anti-establishment and has been smart enough so far not to aggravate DT or his supporters.
Yes the GOPe and the MSM are determined to destroy him before his destroys their grip on our society.
I am also told Fiorina has not raised any money so far. How credible is that?
The more they go after Trump the better he does in the polls. As Trump recently said this is game is all about ratings. Trump understands and that is one of the reasons he is winning.
she is so overrated. Any more pimping and they will turn this woman into a street hooker. It was a fine debut, but for crying out loud she didnt win. Media needs a muzzle.
You are so right.
Hear, hear.
