After a week in which he hosted Saturday Night Live and stood center-stage at a Republican debate, Donald Trump is surging among Republicans likely to cast votes in the party’s presidential primary. According to the five-day rolling Reuters/Ipsos presidential poll, Trump has leapt some 17 percentage points among likely Republican voters since Nov. 6, when he was essentially tied with Ben Carson at about 25 percent.
Among all Republicans - not simply likely primary voters -Trump holds a substantial edge over Carson, at 34 percent to about 20 percent, according to the Reuters/Ipsos poll. Trump’s appearance on NBC's Saturday Night Live earned the program its highest ratings in two years, with 9.3 million viewers tuning in. Then, on Tuesday, 13.5 million viewers watched the debate from Milwaukee broadcast on the Fox Business Network. It remains to be seen, however, whether Trump’s surge will hold in the wake of his comments at an Iowa rally Thursday night in which he tore into Carson, telling the crowd that Carson has a "pathological" temper.
"If you’re pathological, there’s no cure for that,†Trump said. "If you’re a child molester, there’s no cure for that.†Trump then posted a video critical of Carson on his Instagram account Friday. The Republican establishment has long expected the outspoken billionaire to fade, and he has yet to give it the satisfaction. Trump has consistently held more than 25 percent of the support among all Republicans in the Reuters/Ipsos rolling poll for more than two months. The Reuters/Ipsos poll is also bad news for Marco Rubio, who is widely considered to be emerging as the establishment-backed alternative to Trump. Despite receiving rave notices for his past two debate performance, Rubio’s support has remained flat, with about 10 percent of likely Republican primary voters preferring him.

After the Paris Attack, what Trump attack? Trump attacked who, what? Who cares!
I think his plane is like a (luxuriously) furnished apartment. He probably has the world’s most comfortable bed on board :)
He is amazing...brilliance and energy-wise.
He said today, “I’m NOT getting out! Never getting out!”
Iowans didn’t give a hoot about what he said regarding Carson. Looks like his numbers will only soar, now.
Given your thought here, think how fast the ILLEGALS will run to the door when they hear Trump is coming to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
He may not even need that immigration “force” for tossing out illegals, they will have already been burning their shoe leather outta here.

And there is a video at the link.
Thanks, could be. But, that wasn’t the subject. The other poster said Trump’s Carson comments in Iowa would hurt Trump. I posted a link to a Drudge-linked article that proved otherwise.
Thats basically what I said, agreed!
It is no a coincidence that all of them could reach the silent majority. Any Republican candidate who cannot (most of them) can either lose, or squeak out a narrow win.
Is there any current Republican primary candidate who can do this?
Only one.
Drum Roll, the answer is Donald Trump
“We know two women, who are turned off by Trump’s honesty and are Ben Nyquil supporters”
The best description of Carson came from Jackie Mason.
” he always looks like he’s looking for a place to lie down, and take a nap”
“The safest place is a liberal’s mind.
There’s nothing there and nothing can penetrate it.”
I likes it!
““I love gridlock when traitors like Paul La Raza Ryan and Mitchy are selling off the US to crony capitalized and foreign billionaires like Murdoch - Soros “
Nailed!
I hope Jackie lives forever and in good health.
Same here!
A shot from Nov 15, 2015 on KTNV news Henderson, Nevada.
At best Carson may have about 450 in attendance but think it may be in the high 300s. Henderson, Nevada has a population of 277,000.
To compare Carson's Henderson rally to Trump's recent rally in Burlington, Iowa in a sparsely populated area of SE Iowa, Trump's rally was in the 3,000 range. It's stark contrast between the two.
“Polls from Fox, WSJ, cBS, et al, are intend to mislead the public.”
Fox and WSJ are one in the same, owned by OPEN BORDERS Rupert Murdoch. They prop up all open borders politicians, and Trash Trump Daily.
After the events in Paris on 11/13, I will be adding
this to my posts for the next week. I'm certain our
turn is coming again soon. We stand united against
Islamic extremists.
