Hot Air and Townhall Media Group commissioned another scientific poll this month, partnering with Survey Monkey on the 2016 primary races.

The Republican primary race has changed somewhat since our August poll. Donald Trump still leads among voters planning to cast a ballot in a Republican primary with almost the identical percentage — 23.32% to 23.77%.

Totally. Plenty of room there in undecided and this seems like one of the most accurate polls I’ve seen.

Interesting, how after all the big media push Fiorina still lags far behind even the Undecided group.

Yes, but very important that they have shrunk, meaning anti-Trumpsters losing support.

Good point. Quite telling, that they're not. Trump is.
