I don't dismiss any polls, but there is something very strange going on. Carson hasn't done anything in a month. His last "activity" was his comments about Muslims. Hard to believe that would carry him this far. On the other hand, Trump packs stadiums with 10,000-20,000 people, continues to lead almost every state in multiple polls within the state.

One thing is certain, when Carson "leads" anywhere, he is going to start to draw fire like he cannot imagine---the kind of fire Trump has sustained for five months.

I will only be worried if an establishment politician like Rubio, Fiorina or Tippy-Toes moves ahead of Trump.

That isn't even close to happening.

I'm not concerned about Trump and Carson exchanging leads (though I'm very suspicious of these recent polls as Carson has not been very active) because these are both non-politicians and a year ago, it would have been inconceivable that these two would be the front runners at this stage in the race. Actually, it's pretty incredible.

It wouldn't break my heart if Cruz was to suddenly take the lead but the fact that the other establishment politicians are way, way behind are encouraging to me. Regardless of whether it is Trump or Carson that are on top.

“One thing is certain, when Carson “leads” anywhere, he is going to start to draw fire like he cannot imagine-—the kind of fire Trump has sustained for five months.”

He’s also been basically ignored in the first two debates. He needs to be asked about his pathetic abortion record. The man for years referred women to abortion providers.....and sees nothing wrong with it. He’s a flake of the first degree.

These recent polls may reflect Trump’s latest comments ie, “9/11 was GWB’s fault”.

Trump’s supporters still believe GWB did a good job after 9/11, they may have been offended at his statements.
