Or the pollsters are working for Hillary, which is even more likely.

What I take from this.....

(1) Trump is ahead of Carson by 26 points in New Hampshire

(2) Trump is ahead of Carson by 17 points in South Carolina,
the first Southern primary and

(3) Juan Ellis Bush is fifth in Iowa; a distant third in New Hampshire and fifth in South Carolina. Bye, Yeb!

More believable...Trump caught up with Carson in Iowa after recognizing the problem.

My guess is he added new supporters, but they didn’t come from Carson.

I think the great doctor should get out of politics. He is not what we need in office. I suspect that if all else were equal but he were as white as Lindey Graham he would have very little more support than has Graham. I agree with him totally on some things but as you say he “goes off on tangents.”

Interesting:


Des Moines Register published no internals regarding gender

How do you explain Carson in IA then?

[DoughtyOne]

Remember, just days ago Carson was supposedly (about) eight points ahead in Iowa.

Now it’s neck and neck. Horse stuff.

This is make believe.

Nothing happened to make Carson surge. Nothing happened to make him fall back, or Trump to surge.

That Iowa data is more suspect than the single shooter theory involving Oswald.

How do you explain Carson in IA then?

Well, unless most of population of Iowa is liking Carson on facebook, I don't think that's your cause of his social media popularity. But as for why Carson is doing well in Iowa-- remember that these retards also gave it to Santorum last time too.

Carson is not the right man for the job. I want to hear my President speak up in a strong, clear voice, with a sense of passion and drive. Carson speaks in a hushed tone, you can barely hear what he is saying, and he is emotionless. Can you imagine Carson dealing with Putin, the Castro brothers, etc? We need a President who will stir us to action, who has had some prior experience in govt service such as in the capacity of Senator, etc. But, most of all, this President must declare that he will uphold the Constitution, our laws on the books as it pertains to immigration, amnesty, etc. In short, I support Senator Ted Cruz. Check out his rating and what he stands for on www.ConservativeReview.com. He will be a strong leader and very much capable when it comes to dealing with other government heads of state. He is our greatest hope for our country, by virtue of his background experience, his Constitutional scholar credentials and his record of fighting for US in the Senate on issues that concern us all.

If you think Ted Cruz is going to win the nomination, you’re dreaming.

Clinton was always the Dem choice. The idea that she was going to be challenged was just a way to get some attention for the Dem primary. There is no Dem primary nor was there ever really one.

[BigEdLB]

Please see my chart. Quinnipiac data smells. DesMoines Register are cowards. No internals to show their fallacy. Carson is picking up from Walker’s departure and Jeb falling.

[WENDLE]

What about these lying polls at the DesMoines Register ( that hate Trump) They must be wrong!! BAD WRONG— Fraudulent!!

[SunkenCiv]

Nah. One of the morning fake news show yesterday had a three or four minute segment that was captioned in such a way as to advocate for the criminal Hitlery, then followed that with "Trump Attacks Carson" or something. The steady drumbeat about how Trump is fading, how Carson is leading, how Hitlery won the debate and answered all the questions about Benghazi -- all are false -- is just the usual partisan shilling by the presstitutes. Trump-haters, note that the anti-Carson pieces have also continued from the same shills, who are building the memes that will be used to drag him down if he winds up nominated (he won't be, btw).

Partisan Media Shills Alert!

[MARKUSPRIME]

If people vote for Carson as the answer to Hillary and he wins the primary I am done with this foolish nation. He will get crushed in the general and will not carry the south. And the borders will remain open.

[dragnet2]

From this point forward, one of the few unscrupulous malicious tactics left for the MSM and their well connected in D.C. associates are to manipulate polls with motives of swaying easily led voters.

We all know this goes on in every election and this elections promises to be an insider political fraud fest.

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks for the mentions.

If Carson is picking up from Bush loss and Walker dropping out, why is he only surging in Iowa?

I think his numbers are vastly overstated.

He’s not going to pick up a massive number of SDA votes. There aren’t that many of them. He’s not going to pick up a massive number of protestant votes either.

The SDAs aren’t viewed as mainstream enough to get other Christians to want to sign on in big numbers.

That’s my read. His Iowa numbers are going to evaporate as quickly as they blew in.

[free_life]

Both Clinton’s and Carson’s poll numbers are fiction. This is the powers that be at work.

Trump and Sanders will blow em apart coming out of Iowa.

[FreedBird]

Talking heads are telling us what is needed in the O Office when speaking of the Republican outsiders. On the Democratic side, do we need a serial liar in the O Office?
Do they want another liar and cheating Clinton to run the country? They helped elect Obama, now they will help elect Clinton. The MSM is the corrupt Democratic Party.

Have always thought Scotch tasted like a burnt fence post. No wonder Hillary likes it. Lotsa burnt fence posts in Arkansas.
