Real estate tycoon Donald Trump, with 24 percent, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, with 17 percent, and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, with 13 percent, take the top spots in Public Policy Polling's newest survey of GOP primary voters in the Hawkeye State.The rest of the candidates running for the Republican presidential nomination register in single digits, including Sens. Ted Cruz (Texas) and Marco Rubio (Fla.), at 8 percent each, and former Govs. Jeb Bush (Fla.) and Mike Huckabee (Ark.), at 6 percent apiece. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who dropped out of the GOP race Monday after falling dramatically in polls, takes 5 percent. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal are at 4 percent. Trump and Carson have led in the state by wide margins since shortly after the first GOP debate last month, and Tuesday's poll gives Fiorina a bounce to fourth overall in the RealClearPolitics average of polling, placing her just behind Cruz in Iowa. The polling occurred on the heels of the second GOP debate last week, during which Fiorina addressed Trump's remark about her face. Nearly 6 in 10 GOP voters in Iowa, 59 percent, found Trump's comment inappropriate, according to PPP. A majority of Iowa Republicans similarly found Trump's remark about Bush's wife during the debate inappropriate.

Nearly 6 in 10 GOP voters in Iowa, 59 percent, found Trump’s comment inappropriate, according to PPP. A majority of Iowa Republicans similarly found Trump’s remark about Bush’s wife during the debate inappropriate. Add Megyn Kelly to that.
Trump would stop with all the poll numbers

Yes! Because when the MSM manipulate the polls, which they are slowly doing to bring down Trump, what is he going to say then? From the outset, Trump should have been very skeptical of the polls. I told this via Twitter.
However, here is what I believe is the strategy of the Trump team. If Trump has the nation eyeing the polls, it will be very hard for the MSM to get away with total fraud in the polling.
I do believe the MSM are under representing Trump’s numbers but because all eyes are on them, the manipulation is being contained to a certain degree.
Yep, men are supposed to just sit there and take it. Uh huh. Not defend themselves. Ever. At all.
So if a woman is pointing a gun at me or trying to hit me with a baseball bat, I can’t insult her, right? Just stand there and be killed?
Or if a woman says that I am an egomaniacal scumbag, I just have to shut or preferably agree, right?
Ridiculous.
Politics is a contact sport. If a man or woman cannot stand the heat, he or she should not be playing.
Also, women wanted to be treated equally (and I agree). Well, the good comes along with some bad.
PS The insults I have seen women toss at each other make anything even the most misogynistic man might say look like a barely snide remark. Most women are well aware of this.
I was doing my best to forget those two clowns..Aiken and Mourdock.....now you reminded me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FROM THE ARTICLE...

Carly wants to compete with him, well, nothing stops her from insulting him.
But you see, she did that, she insulted him and he fought back.
Please keep in mind that the supposed insult was not in front of a camera. In fact, it was no different than her insult on Boxer, which was also not in front of the camera.
Carly is playing the poor female crap and it is insulting and pathetic.
I just do not like her at all. Nothing personal, but I do not like her.
Not sure about that..Cruz just doesnt seem to be taking off. Maybe that will change later.
I’d recognize her anywhere!
LOL
Good one.
Carly, why the long face?
Yes. I am right.
Dumb is insulting women concerning their looks, no matter who started the argument.
Ok.
I’m a female and I disagree.
Trump needs to stop insulting women.
In the absence of Iowa GOP establishment favorite Scott Walker, look for renewed talk of Chris Christie, who holds a lot of IOUs from his chairmanship of the Republican governors association.
Carson’s support in Iowa may be legitimate, but Fiorina’s support in Iowa is strictly a MSM creation. She has nothing going on in Iowa.
What women is he insulting?
Volumes have been written and said about Trump's looks.
Why is that any different? Why the double standard?
If Carly can't take it she ought to go sit down.
Hillary always smiles and does the bobble head trick... of course every other word is a lie.
If Trump agrees not to use insults do you think democrats will agree not to effing lie to everyone’s face?
Still don’t recall or know the comment being referred to...what did Trump say about Bush’s wife?
It is bad manners to insult women on their LOOKS. That’s my belief and it’s not changing. I have a teenage daughter who was troubled by Trumps insults toward women too, and my whole household currently supports him. I am not going to allow my daughters to believe that’s it’s ok for a man to insult a woman on your looks. NO WAY.
One thing that I have noticed is that Trump listens to me when I send him messages. I sent a message to Melania, Ivanka, and Trump and told him that what he did was wrong concerning insulting women based upon their looks. Trump knew he was wrong and he backed off!
Sometimes an outside voice is needed for objectivity. I don’t want him to swift boat himself. I WANT TO SEE HIM WIN.
personally I rather like the insults.this country is far too PC for my taste. seriously. all I want from this man Trump, is results.
he is not my first pick.. however, I very much support him and he will have my full support if he gets the nod.
Yes most of Trump’s stuff is fine but he really is flirting with fire on female comments. There is so much to go after with Carly on other issues. I wish he would lay off also.
