Carson is on his way out now. Cruz should be much higher - definitely above Rubio!!!
>> support for Carson is 23%
Who ARE all these naïfs who think Carson would somehow make a good president?
A Carson administration would be a nightmare for the vast majority of us.
Are there any polls completely composed of responses after Cruz’s crushing performance in the last debate?
Trump is a faux Republican buffoon.
I love how the Trumpies criticize Republicans for votes they took, or positions they espoused years ago, while at the same time excusing Trump’s high speed flip-flops of the recent past.
Supported Pelosi, Reid, and a whole bunch of dems and a couple of RINOS. Thinks his sister the leftist judge would make a “phenomenal†Supreme Court Justice. Thinks The Marxist mayor of New York is great. Loves Hillary. Hangs with Bill. Supported gun control, until he didn’t. Said Romney was “too hard on illegal aliens†in 2012, before his focus groups told him he could ride half-baked solutions to that one problem to the top of the polls. Supports government run single payer healthcare.
The cognitive dissonance must be a bitch!
So in other words, last month’s poll was bull$hit. An outlier at best, probably cooked to show Trump dropping and Ben rising. But the Trump numbers are still strong so they lie and say it’s about the Fox boycott which not one Trump supporter watches anymore. The media are shameless.
Cruz is beginning to remind me of Bull Meechum, Robert Duvall’s action-over-talking character in The Great Santini.
“Bull don’t say, he just do.”
Well at least Ted Cruz stayed consistent.
So essentially, this poll has Trump gaining and Carson losing support.
Makes me wonder if last month’s poll with Trump at 17% wasn’t just that 1-in-20 outlier and this one is back to reflecting what most of the rest have been.
Sorry, no such thing as a battering in a fabricated poll. Fin.
Yes TRump top! I want CRUZ beside him!
What is going on with these polls!
“Though our latest poll shows Trump leading Carson, the poll’s margin of error of +/- five points means that Trump and Carson are still running a close race.”
In your dreams, sparky.
That could also be read as:
Trump 33 % (+5)
Carson 18 % (-5)
I didn’t think Carson had a great debate performance. I think Rubio will continue to climb and if Jeb Bush and another candidate or two (Kasich? Paul? Huckabee?) drop out, the establishment might unite behind him. If Trump made an effort to attract social conservatives, the whole thing might be over quickly. As Santorum surged just ahead of voting last time, I think the same possibility exists for Cruz and Christie because they’re quick on their feet and good in the debates.
We have had enough.
It's easy to get distracted by the Trump vs Carson "horserace" that the media is trying to gin up.
But know this. The big picture here is that more than FIFTY PERCENT of the base is supporting for president a candidate who has never before held political office.
This is a major smackdown of the GOP by its own rank and file. We are no longer accepting the garbage that they have been serving up to us all these years.
The establishment and the establishment media are frightened to death that the masses are finally waking up and are now threatening their plans to insert their owned and paid for president to replace the currently owned and paid for president.
As the calendar flips to November, the focus of most Americans will shift to Thanksgiving, Christmas and football. Unless a candidate is driven out (as Cain was in November 2011), do not look for the polls to change much between now and then.
We will come into the New Year with both Trump and Carson way ahead in the top tier and only a few weeks remaining until the primary season starts. The GOPe candidates are going to struggle to achieve even double digits.
The GOPe is now in full panic mode.
