Trump falls, Fiorina jumps in GOP race: CNN/ORC poll

Carly Fiorina’s strong performance at last week’s primetime Republican debate has catapulted her into second place behind Donald Trump in the race for the GOP presidential nomination, a new CNN/ORC national poll shows.

According to the survey, conducted three days after the Sept. 14 debate, Fiorina has 15 percent support among Republican and Republican-leaning voters, up from just 3 percent in August. The former Hewlett-Packard chief executive is one point ahead of retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson (14 percent), down 5 points from the previous poll.

Meanwhile, support for Trump’s candidacy — which stood at 32 percent in August — has slipped to 24 percent, the new poll shows.

After people begin focusing on Fiorina's poor record at HP and once Ben Carson puts anyone else that cares about him to sleep - (the man is like the antidote to exhilaration) where does that leave us?

Rubio did well the other night and has seen a nice bump. Bush...blah.. Cruz, ok, but no one seems to be paying attention.

All the others are just background noise at this point and I think Walker is toast.

Trump falls, Fiorina jumps in GOP race: CNN/ORC poll

The GOOD news in this poll is:

1. Senor el Jebbo Bush is in single digits; and

2. Linda Loudmouth Graham (Republicrat, SC) doesn't even register.

There’s a number of other polls showing Trump gaining or staying the same. Why haven’t we seen one of those up?

Same horsecrap poll as posted Sunday AM here. It relies on a whopping 444 self-reported GOP voters. Its sample size is a joke as is its breathless trumpeting by lazy and biased web sites.

First, if Fiorina weren't a female SHE'D NOT BEEN ALLOWED IN THIS DEBATE.

Secondly, it's obvious to me that when CNN was in discussions with the Fiorina camp, SOMEONE AT CNN SLIPPED HER THE DEBATE QUESTIONS!

Third, it's ALSO obvious to me that CNN MANIPULATED THE CANDIDATES LIKE CHESS PIECES AND MOVED THE ONES TO THE FOREFRONT THAT THEY WANT RUNNING AGAINST THEIR DEM CANDIDATE. That person was FIORINA.

True. Anyone has the NBC Poll?

[Bullish]

Lies. They probably ran their polls at Berkeley or Columbia law school campus’s.

the bad news is they will push carly HARD.

sounds familiar anyone?

or third party ticket if need be.

not voting for carly.

[dp0622]

I still dont know how to post an article and that’s too much attention for me :)

but NBC poll looks good!!

[WENDLE]

That poll is a fraud. It measure 50% democrats and “republican and leaners” It was highly distorted!!! The Zogby Poll measured “Republicans likely to vote in primaries and go to caucas. Do you see the fix was in on the CNN/ORC. Among likely primary and caucus goers TRUMP SURGED to 33%!! FioRINO surged 2 meaningless points to move top “7%” total!! the media is lying to us trying to fill a narrative of decline for Trump because they can't control him. The GOPe is part of the conspiracy—

[Resolute Conservative]

Problem is too many people are too stupid to vote 3rd party and the result would be a landslide for the dims and in their opinion a mandate to continue their socialistic run. I refer not to vote and let that be the message.

[mmichaels1970]

Yet Trump is still +9 even in the most breathlessly reported poll the media could find. Oh the huge manatee.

It was funny this morning. Trump was interviewed on NBC by phone, I think it was Samantha Gurthrie slinging arrows this AM. She brought up this CNN poll that has Trump losing ground. (to other outsiders, and still in the lead, but no mention of that). Mr. Trump asked her why she didn't bring up the NBC poll, which showed him having a massive lead. She tried to defend using the CNN poll instead of their own, and Trump finally got her to acknowledge that there was a current NBC poll, and in it Trump has a substantial lead!

Started my day with a smile.

That CNN poll, plus $1.50 will get you a coffee most places other than Starbucks.

Zogby, which has no axe to grind to my knowledge, has Trump up 2 or 3 points since Wednesday, and with a 20 point gap between him in the lead, and Carson who’s second, with FioRino in third. Surprisingly, NBC, of all outfits, has Trump as THE MOST PRESIDENTIAL Wednesday night.

I think since CNN failed in their attempt to actually knock Trump out in the debate, is trying to keep a little sliver of cred with the GOPe by prostituting their poll and puffing Carly for them. That’s what prostitutes do, ya know; they prostitute.

[dp0622]

He’s awesomely blunt and outspoken :)

Maybe facebook or google needs a new CEO and they can have carly.

[dp0622]

No chance a Trump/Cruz ticket would have any different outcome than all the other third parties, i guess.

Sucks.

But Trump is still in the lead and I hope it stays that way. rinos are desperate. Jeb gone, so pushing Mr. Amnesty and Mrs. Lucent

[The Sons of Liberty]

the bad news is they will push carly HARD.

I would not be surprised to see the GOP-e manipulate the nomination process to crown a ticket of Senor el Jebbo/Carly. The mere fact that she's a woman sorta counteracts Cankles' main accomplishment.

I will NOT vote for Jebbo!

[inkfarmer]

Nope. Trump winning in all polls. What else they got?

[dp0622]

The good thing is they dont know what to do with a guy that doesn’t apologize or show them any respect (the press that is) and it seems a lot of black Christians aren’t too fond of obummer anymore and dont see Trump as the usual evil republican.
