LOL, yeah right. And the other poll that just came out showing Carson ahead of Trump in Iowa? A coincidence? Or also a media conspiracy push poll? And what about the new one in Wisconsin showing Carson leading? So these polls are all starting to roll in showing Carson adding support while Trump is sliding, and you come up with some nonsense to dismiss today’s poll.

Hey, remember the “Unskewed polls” guy? Who claimed Mitt Romney was really winning the election because the polls were all skewed or setup as push polls to benefit Obama. How did that work out for him? He later just had to admit he was completely wrong and the polls were pretty accurate afterall.

I think a more reasonable explanation for Trump’s fall in a couple of very recent polls is that some thing or event caused a sizable percentage of Republicans to move away from him. My guess is it was the 9-11 truther claptrap Trump started spewing. I suspect it alienated a lot of Republicans who may not much like GW Bush in most regards, but remember him very fondly for his actions post 9-11. Most people, other than nuts like Michael Moore, paulbots and assorted conspiracy wackos avoid truther nonsense.

Then again, this could just be a meaningless polling blip - or it could be folks are just tired and becoming bored with Trumps shtick. Still too early to tell. It will takes weeks to see if there is any real trend.

Dear Longbow: Would you consider Rove’s anti McCain push polls in NC primary in 2000 “nonsense”?

Do you understand what a push poll is?

LOL

LoL, it is right. It's obvious 8 of those questions were designed for Carson to get a positive score.

Not long to go now when the GOPe get their butts handed to them in the election. Next year is coming fast. I'm going to enjoy it.
