Trump bump: New 5-point poll lead over Carson

Donald Trump has regained some ground lost to Dr. Ben Carson, Reuters' 5-Day Rolling Poll finds. Trump now leads Carson nationally, 27.7 percent to 22.2 percent.

Marco Rubio is now at 12.3 percent, still third place in the race. Ted Cruz is fourth, 8.6 percent.

Jeb Bush is fifth with 6.7 percent of national support. Carly Fiorina is sixth with 3.8 percent, but is currently beaten by "wouldn't vote," which registers 6.1 percent support.

Chris Christie (3.5 percent), Rand Paul (2.9 percent), John Kasich (2.9 percent), Mike Huckabee (2.8 percent), and Bobby Jindal (1.3 percent) round out the GOP candidates above 1 percent.

Christie and Huckabee were dropped Thursday from the main stage of next week's debate, while Kasich and Paul maintained their positions at the primetime debate. The organizers of that debate used an aggregation of polls to determine who would be included.

Are you a retread? Come on, be honest......are you ?

There was no "anger" in my post, n00b, just a simple factual statement. Trump will never "gracefully bow out" !

No but I didn’t sign up to FR on the same day I found it. I’ve been reading these forums for a few years now, just taking the plunge recently.

My real worry is that Republican candidates don’t dare to say that the Democrat party has been full-frontal Communist for twenty years—besides being rife with Communists for 90-100 years.

It took almost a century for the Reds to cover the entire country with government schools. They didn’t finish the job until 1918. The schools have been churning out little Commie atheists for decades, and can you name one Republican who doesn’t rank government schools up there with the flag, Mom, and apple pie?

America cannot survive without a war against the very existence of the Democrat Communist Abortion party, and government schrools, and the Red universities. We need to seal the borders and deport all Muslims.

There will be a war against all those forces, but not because of their ideas. There will be a shooting war on U.S. soil when masses of people realize that their physical survival is at stake.

And the Democrap media. Amen bro.

My democrat partner at the polls last week told me that if I voted right in the primary she would cast her vote for the second time in her life for a republican. She wants the wall and deportations. All one has to do is look at the names of the local arrests in the local newspaper to understand where she is coming from

Sigh. When Trump falls behind by even a point national polls are everything (even when he is up in almost all state polls). When he is up in national polls, only the IA stare poll is important. And when he leads in both, a weird NC poll is all that matters. Sheesh.

Simple fact is that with this incredible consistence (leading in more than 90% of state AND national polls for four months) Trump is clearly the leader.

You can rightly say "Kentucky," but that was about a half dozen polls over two months.

What the anti-Trump people ignore completely are three daily rolling polls that have consistently put Trump at WELL over 30 (33,34,37). I personally think those are right. I also think that with 3-4 exceptions, Cruz is accurately placed at 8-9%.

I know several CA Republicans who love Fiorina. I have met one Kasich supporter—from a pol who wanted a job in his administration.

People have been shown that “Pyramid Man” is an empty suit with either no idea or bad ideas and a few crazy stories to boot.

‘I have yet to see anything to prove Ben Carson embellished, and at the very least, you could say the jury is still out.’

Carson said he received an offer of a slot “from West Point.” That never happened. It was an embellishment.

National polls do not mean too much now and will certainly change after the first primaries in February.

I don't put a lot of reliance on these pols and am interested in the picture in March.

That said, Trump will likely still be high with Cruz gaining. The rest is a crap shoot.

i dont think he’s going to. but i’m wrong alot.

I would drink myself into a stupor if it were Carson.

he comes across to me as having a God complex that makes Trump look insecure, seems mentally unstable to a dangerous degree, and is willing to talk with Al Sharpton.

oh, and he’s willing to talk to al sharpton.

oh, and he’s willing to talk to al sharpton :)

[BlackFemaleArmyColonel]

I agree.

[BlackFemaleArmyColonel]

Yep.

[deport]

At what point do you think Cruz will move into a top two contender position? I know things
will change over the next couple of months but who will be the top two?

“I heard Levin say the very thing posted here and it made me angry. I’ll tell you my theory - Mark wants to endorse Cruz, but wants everyone to think he hasn’t made a decision yet - bull! He knows Trump likes to say things and by making the statement he did - he was gunning for Trump so he wouldn’t have to endorse him. BIngo!! That gives him justification to endorse Cruz. I see through him - I’ve picked up on his “little” hints. Besides, Michael Savage - his nemesis, has come out for Trump - so Levin can’t do it. Just read between the lines.”

Excellent analysis, you should be a shrink, lol.

"Deal breaker."

Just one of many deal breakers. Dr Carson views are more progressive than conservative. He should have remained a Democrat since he'd much closer to Hillary on policy than he is to Trump, Cruz or Paul.

[flaglady47]

Bump.

Cruz is my second choice, after Trump. But Trump can win, and Cruz, for some inexplicable reason, just can’t get up high enough in the polls. And he doesn’t have Trump’s charisma, which will be very important in the General Election. Especially as Hillary has none. Compare and contrast. Cruz couldn’t pull that off against Hillary. Trump/Cruz 2016!

[jpsb]

Levin just just being Levin is entire stick is “being outraged” so he’s got to fine something to be outraged about all the time. Levin aught to spend a little time first determining what the facts are. It very apparent the Dr Carson greatly embellished his resume at the least. Something Brian Williams got fired for dong.

“Who are Carson supporters?”

Women? Nice guy.....
