In a rolling poll that was only partially taken after Wednesday night's debate, Investor's Business Daily shows Republican businessman Donald Trump surging. Last month Trump sat at 17%, today he sits at 28%. In this particular poll, this surge puts Trump back in first place against Dr. Ben Carson, who was leading Trump by +7 points last month (24% to 17%).
Trump now leads Carson by +5 points, 28% to 23%.
It's important to note that, compared to last month, Carson only lost a statistically insignificant -1 point.
Although the DC Media assured us Rubio was the Big Winner Wednesday night, the Florida Senator did not move the needle.

Trump has in his speeches...China...bring back the manufacturing jobs to grow the economy and give people jobs, same with Japan and Mexico and any other countries...quit paying them, have them start paying U.S. for their products...
He wants common core gone, and wants to put the education system back in the States where it belongs, once that is done there is no need for a federal dept. of ed. The States need to run their own education systems...
“I’ve been for Cruz all along, but I’m beginning to think the only way to beat The Cheap Labor Express is with Trump.
Carson and Rubio are both advocates of amnesty and surrender to the illegal aliens and their employers.
If we lose this, we lose our country.”
I agree - it’s been my #1 issue since I’ve seen 2 states ruined by illegals.
Cruz refuses to say what he’ll do with the millions of illegals here. He ‘says’ he’s not for amnesty but won’t define what he means by that. McCain also said he wasn’t for amnesty, LOL! Not a good sign, IMO, when other candidates are speaking clearly in the issue. He says he’ll deal with border security first - then ‘have the discussion‘ on what to do with the millions of illegals. He says Americans don’t want to have that discussion until the border is dealt with. BS - conservatives want that discussion! so I don’t trust him. He’s not saying because he has something to hide.
I think that is more Kevlar than Teflon.....Maybe sintered ceramics.
“The understanding is called Vice President Cruz. Works for me. VP Presides over the Senate. McConnell better get a good stock of depends for when Cruz will be there.”
Oh, wouldn’t that be justice, LOL!
I’m all for Cruz as VP, even before you pointed this out.
Trump/Cruz would do the trick. They could make the reforms that we need. I believe Trump would hire the best and the brightest to restore America—Not political hacks. Trump may not be the best person for the job—but he’s the best a sour lot—he has the drive. Electing him would stick it in the eye of the MSM and GOPe, the RINO’s, Clintonites, and Cheap Labor factories. Trump just might do it!
“Twenty-eight years of $hit “leadership,†a third of my lifetime! Just think where we would be today if a Trump or a Cruz had followed Ronnie! As it was, we got a succession of “it’s my turn†worthless GOPe turds who didn’t even win.”
Has it been that long? Bittersweet memories.
Yes, TRUMP/CRUZ!
Trump will get things done that others think of as impossible- just as how he’s been taking on the media and winning. He’ll deport the 3rd world entitlement grabbers and give jobs back to Americans. Cruz hasn’t said one word about his position on the illegals here, but I trust Trump to do what he’s promised. And Cruz will remind Trump about Constitutional powers and help to rein in congress. I don’t doubt Cruz won’t be shy if Trump proposes something he doesn’t agree with.
You’re right.
“His standing up to the networks is just one of many things that will gain the other candidates respect.”
My sense is that during the 3rd debate, that was already happening. He’s been a great influence already.
The last job Cruz would ever get is on the SCOTUS. His colleagues in the Senate despise him and he’d never get the votes. I’m not saying that as an anti-Cruz guy (I’m mostly indifferent), but I’ve read too much about how loathed he is on Capitol Hill to think he could ever get the gig.
We are moving into November and what this means is that for the next couple months, most people's attention will turn to the holidays. So not too much will change between now and January and then the primary season will be upon us.
Ever since early summer, Donald Trump and Ben Carson have dominated this race. The handpicked RINO Jebbie Bush never made it out of single digits. It is important to note that four years ago, even when the Herman Cain surge was in full swing, Mitt Romney was consistently polling in the mid 20s and always within striking distance of the frontrunner.
A case cannot be made that Tippy Toes Bush and even Marco Rubio is anywhere within striking distance of the frontrunners Trump and Carson.
For months now, we have been told by the pundits and the know-it-all talking heads that Trump is not a serious candidate and that eventually "common sense" will prevail and that the people will eventually move back to the "sensible" choice of Jebbie Bush - their handpicked designated loser for 2016.
Well the pundits were wrong and the only serious challenger to Donald Trump's dominance is some previously unknown surgeon who never before held political office and was definitely not in the plans of the GOPe.
This is a kick in the stomach to the GOPe. Their strategy to "ignore the base" and simply handpick their own puppets to be nominated has backfired badly.
So November and the holiday season is now upon us and Trump has not only maintained his solid lead but has improved upon it. Many people are now going to focus on the Thanksgiving and Christmas season...and football. By the time they turn their attention back to politics, it will be January and simply not enough time for the GOPe puppets (be it Jebbie or Rubio) to break into the top tier currently held down by Trump and Carson.
The window of opportunity for the GOPe is about to be slammed shut.
They might vote for him just to get him out of the Senate!
LOL! True enough. I was thinking it’d be like a John Tower situation.
On what basis could you possibly believe this?
Sure, I suppose if Trump's plane crashed into Carson's bus, Rubio was caught with an underage male prostitute, and evidence tied Jeb to the Zodiac murders, then Cruz might be the GOP nominee, only after Fiorina dropped out of the race. And then he'd lose as bad as Mondale.
If you think Trump/Cruz will make RINO heads explode, wait until Sarah Palin gets a cabinet position.
Trump/Cruz is the strongest ticket we got, its the America First Ticket.
LOL.....rotflmao!!!!
I wouldn’t underestimate Trump’s ability to make it happen.
Heads must be exploding down at the Communist Democrat Party headquarters
FOX will continue using the fake poll until it becomes true.
