Morning Consult Poll: Trump 30, Carson 15, Jeb 10

Morning Consult ^ | 9/28/15 | Morning Consult

While real estate mogul Donald Trump continues to lead the Republican field, several rivals are beginning to find footholds, the new poll shows. Trump leads with 30 percent of the vote, ahead of 15 percent for retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson and 10 percent for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

And unlike the TDS camp, you won’t be disappointed.

[Yashcheritsiy]

Who the hell is supporting Jeb Bush? Because I’m hard pressed to find anyone in real life that does.

I know of a few folks who actually support Yeb. And they're...well...they're about what you'd expect.

[Jane Long]

BTTT.

[Lopeover]

You hit! Their arguments are feces!

[Red Steel]

And yet, even in this notable Trump-skewed poll, his numbers are down from the last one. Sorry, Trumpette.

Pretty thin gruel for you Trump haters.

You hang onto that silly and skewed R. Murdock and PMSNBC 230 individuals polled. A minuscule number. That's a winner! LoL.

The new Zogby poll is similar and the NBC poll that was out a week or so ago was similar also I believe.

[Georgia Girl 2]

I also believe this tax plan will translate into poll numbers for Trump in a week or two.

who knows but maybe 1/2 speak Spanish and the other 1/2 are pure magic poll inflation's.

[TigerClaws]

Trump isn’t losing support. That’s b.s.

If you look at the non-politicians, that’s over 50%. You’d expect Trump to capture all those ‘angry’ voters once the rest drop out.

Kumar... The fat guy... the gay guy.. Harpo. They all need to drop out. Clear the deck.

[DoughtyOne]

It’s like DU has moved in.

[Don Corleone]

The Donald had a good Tax message presser this AM.

[DoughtyOne]

Agreed.

As I was telling another poster, it looks like the D.U. sleepers are now going to try to earn their money.

This anti-Trump nonsense is getting tedious.

Lies, misinformation, ignoring the truth of what Trump has been proposing, it’s just disinformation and seeking to destroy Trump’s chances.

Those folks should go over the D.U. and roll in the horse stuff with them.

I've noticed something similar. Real life Republicans don't hate Donald Trump; none that I know anyway, and I have been fairly active in my local party. Real life Republicans may definitely prefer other candidates to Donald Trump, particularly Cruz and Carson, but they don't hate Trump and they certainly don't ooze the vitriol toward Trump that I read here on Free Republic by posters who say they are conservative and support other candidates, and will never vote for Trump. Of course, one of them used the term “the masses” which to me says in reality this is a paid troll who is trying to undermine Trump by pretending to be a Cruz supporter, and just generally poisoning the well. I certainly can't say my observation is true in other parts of the country and in larger cities, but here I can't find a Trump hater among rank and file Republicans; hatred and anger are directed toward Jeb Bush, Lindsey Graham, Boehner, McConnell, etc.

I'll bet that Carly comes roaring back after the next debate.

I also saw that Cruz is bubbling on the edge of a possible surge that might take him a good distance in the direction of the nomination depending how his showdown with OBOZO goes over Planned Parenthood. He'll have to walk a fine line, though.

[RoosterRedux]

This can’t be. Trump is supposed to be tied with Dr. Ben.;-)

[BlackFemaleArmyColonel]

GO TRUMP!!!!!!!

[BlackFemaleArmyColonel]

Are you saying he had 37% two weeks ago? i don’t remember him being that high...

[usafa92]

Carly is finished. The next debate will not be her strength. It’s economics and there’s no way she comes out of that looking good. The last debate was all about Trump’s ‘face’ comment. It was just a false construct to weave the narrative.

Morning consult played with the numbers in the narrative as well. While they are generally fair to Trump, they did a month end August/Sept comparison that showed a net Trump decrease and a net Carson increase. All true, however Carson is also polling right now below his high, so you can make the same argument that Carson is falling.

I’m all in for Trump, but there has been a slight drop off in his polling. He’s had a brutal 2 weeks starting with the Rolling Stone article, then the debate shilling for Carly and Marco Amnestio. Then the Islam plant in NH and the all out assault by the GOPe and the media. But if you notice, nobody is really gaining on him either. Slight drop off for Trump and a coalescence around some others. Trumps’ still good. Next 30 days are critical but controllable as economics are his thing.
