Carson up 8% in five days? Especially after the debate events? Is Reuters in Denver or Seattle?
Just a week ago, when Reuters was showing Trump with a bigger lead than any other poll, the Trumpettes around here were touting it as a big deal. Now, it’s “Is Reuters in Denver or Seattle?”
This poll is fraudulent and contrived in my opinion. Carson is going nowhere fast.
The last day of the sample showing Ben’s big jump only has 195 reapondents. 10/29 has 349, 10/28 has 407, 10/27 has 530. Actually, dates before 10/26 routinely have no samples less than 600. So, Reuters is playing with the sample data to fit their narrative that Ben is surging when he’s not. Even with the small sample sizes Trump is up 5. While it’s a fact that Ben is the solid #2, Reuters engaging in the same chicanery as the others. Small sample sizes, big margins of error and a narrative that this is tied when not. If you unfilter and just go by raw data it’s Trump 26-17.
Somebody’s playing with these numbers...
Carson is noway a front runner. He’s basically the anti-trump anti establlishment, but that’s it... folks who aren’t sold on but don’t like Trump and are angry with the establishment are with him, but he’s not going to be the nominee, and no way he’s gained 8 or 10 or 15 points nationally in the last week, this is just laughable.
Carson will fade, those backing him will move on to others, ... I see this down to 3 at most by Christmas/New Years... Rubio is picking up the GOPe mantle, Trump, and Cruz are the most likely to still be swinging by the end of the year at this point.
But Carson can’t do math.
