I wondered why that Reuter’s poll wasn’t updated on Monday like it generally has been. Look at the chart and you’ll know why.
Look at Sunday’s figures.
Trump 42.9% vs Carson at 13.8%. They didn’t want to leave those numbers up for a few days, making Trump look like he has soaring.
42.9%! That would have stood on the Reuter’s page until Friday, when it would have been updated again. Couldn’t have that.
The next day it was Trump 42.6 vs Carson at 11.7%. Couldn’t let that remain there until Friday. Nope, couldn’t have that.
Then yesterday Trump slipped to 38% and Curz was in second with 11.6 and Carson 11.5%.
I have trusted this poll for months now, because it seemed the least gamed poll I had seen. And then for the first time in several months, they held off reporting on a Monday or Tuesday as they generally had, and seemingly to show Trump in a less superior light.
The Quinnipiac Poll seems a tip-off to me, in that it was the first one to show Carson surging in Iowa. Now they’ve seen Curz doing the same thing. This must be a final hail Mary play, because I know they don’t want Curz either.
The Reuter’s poll is now showing Curz movement too. Time will tell.
I remain skeptical based on how the polls seemed to have been gamed for Carson. We’ll see.
Those are some amazing poll numbers for Trump.

So they are taking advantage of the turkey to manipulate the poll
