You know what all of these polls in this article say to me? Tells me the nominee is going to be Rubio. Write it down.

If the GOP selects a RINO, then another traitorous demonicrat will be elected.

Then they can lose again.

[miss marmelstein]

But what do you think about that? You may be right.

I would definitely mind Rubio less than most, but there’s a strangeness about him, an awkwardness.

I’m thinking Cruz surprises everyone in Iowa, loses in NH to Trump, and then wins SC. Then comes the real competition.

“Tells me the nominee is going to be Rubio.”

They tell me he is trailing 4th and 5th.

I wouldn’t vote for Marco Rubio if he is the nominee.

I consider him a more energetic version of Jeb.

[Artemis Webb]

I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not. But I think Rubio will be the nominee also.

[vmivol00]

Then they won’t have my vote. I refuse to vote for that amnesty whore.

[MichaelCorleone]

How can Cruz be behind Fiorina?

If these numbers are real, then TC has a problem. And that problem is not Trump ‘sucking us all the oxygen in the room’ either.

Here is some historic polling data that should make the GOPe sweat worse. Contrary to the current myths, bottom tier candidates did not “break out” suddenly into the lead in 2008 and 2012. Both McCain and Romney has solid base support in double digits during the whole primary season.

I'm a GOP Precinct Committee person and delegate and no one in our District supports Rubio!

Some did early, very early before March (when Cruz tossed his hat in) but once other names popped up and especially once Rubio's colors became known, he dropped out of the top six or seven.

FYI some support slippage might also happen on Ben Carson, though I think the Dems will hold off on hitting him until later as the Establishment might want him as VP, though I doubt he'd go for that, if scuttlebut regarding his temperament around John's Hopkins with other medical staff is true.

The bias is STILL appalling. Bush’s “surprisingly low” showing???? Us “little folk” mostly, besides disagreeing with him about almost everything, don’t like him. It’s an insult to Republican voters that the $100 million man is still in the race.

[DaxtonBrown]

I would love if the debate gets down to the top six instead of ten. And Cruz actually starts to get equal time. Then the real games begin.

Jeb at 4%. Ha! Ha!

This poll is in line with the other recent polls. What it shows it that while Trump is still in the lead, he has dropped by about 6-8 points since the second debate. His lead over the next candidate has dropped from double digits to about 6 points on average as well. That doesn’t say anything about who will win, the nomination, of course, it just reflects the current state of the race, which has become tighter. It will probably get even tighter as we get closer to actual voting, especially as the 1 percenters drop out.
