Ben Carson has surged into the lead of the Republican presidential race, getting support from 29 percent of GOP primary voters, according to a brand-new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
That's the highest percentage any GOP candidate has obtained so far in the survey.
Carson's 29 percent is followed by Donald Trump at 23 percent, Marco Rubio at 11 percent, Ted Cruz at 10 percent and Jeb Bush at 8 percent. These findings are similar to a New York Times/CBS poll released last week, which also showed Carson in first place in the national GOP contest.

I think the adults in this room are savvy enough to know when they’re being hustled by the MSM.
There is no way that Ben Carson is leading Trump nationally. None. There’s no evidence whatsoever to bolster the factuality of this poll.
Show me some photos of Ben’s campaign events with tens of thousands of ardent supporters. Can’t do that, because they don’t exist, yet any one of us can easily find such photos and news reports about Trump rallies with tens of thousands of supporters in attendance.
You’d think that those doing this fake polling would be concerned about their credibility suffering when the voting results don’t match, but they’re not. They know that right wing America doesn’t trust them as far as they can throw them, and that the left wingers won’t hold them to account.
Expect to see lots more of these made-up propaganda pieces posing as scientific polling, right up to (and through) the early primary states.
According to my FB pages, yes. I have several friends/family that support him and have read at least one of his books. Sometimes I think FR people need to understand that FR is not the center of the universe. Just because there is a race to post the latest time Trump blows his nose here on FR does not mean that is happening elsewhere.
NBC = CNBC .... Yeah, right - Even their wet dreams are fluff.
So then we still haven't found Carson supporter here? :)
There is one very angry one out and about.
Thanks for your replies on this thread.
No freakin’ doubt.
The media and RINOs are attempting to move heaven and earth to find competition for Trump. Keep dreaming, morons.
They’re a non-factor, they’ll get distracted by shiny objects and vote for Buchanan.
I hate how a lot of people on FR treat others with different political views, even slight differences, as though they are bad people. There is a quote that I would like to share by a famous conservative critic of Communism.
"If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?"

Southerners don’t vote for pacifists. One that acts like he would jump through the ceiling if he heard someone holler boo. How anyone could think Carson is presidential material is beyond me.
I’m trashing those who first trash others.
Fornicate NBC, and everything that looks like it.
No, I guess we haven’t!
Anything wrong with taking the “best of the best” foreign minds? The superstars? I believe those are the ones to which he is referring.
I’m talking the top 5%. Same as “The Wall with the Door”. Let in the top 5%. He can’t say that, but that’s what he means.
me neither lol!!!! is there some mythical groups of American citizens that we dont know about???
Right. We’ve reached the point where the polls say more about the pollsters than they do about the candidates.
Many like to bitch about how the system and MSM keep foisting off lousy candidates but the truth is if the so-called "silent majority" and all those who profess to be staunch Conservatives would put their money where their mouth is and not decide that the best we have is also unacceptable because of one potential flaw (what a cop out for an excuse to not spend some of your money on the most important thing available if the Nation is to stop the fall into total tyranny), then we get what we deserve no matter how much we lie to ourselves that we couldn't do anything about it.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it until someone proves it wrong....
Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other FReeloader.....
GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!
I will not vote for Carson and only a moron would. He will not carry the south if he is the nominees. We dont like gun grabbing pacifists down here. Not to mention his ties to Sharpton and Farrakhan, and his open borders BS. If he is the nominee I’ll just wont vote for President this time around. It will be the same as a DEM.
Wait until the Hillary ads start hitting the airwaves. Ahhh, the dulcet sounds of that siren song.
