Surprisingly, Carly Fiorina's only improved modestly...

Nope, no bias there. (sarcasm)

[HarleyLady27]

Just another ‘hot air’ poll...moving on...better things to do....

[MNJohnnie]

Wow that is some major desperate spinning to find SOMETHING positive to say about Rubio. Author might want to actually LOOK at the Real Clear Politic website rather then merely cull data that validates his self described “RINO” opinions.

For days now FOX has been pushing Rubio. He keeps popped up again this morning even though he has had nothing insightful to offer. It would be a disaster if he gets the nomination.

In long distance running there are different strategies. One strategy is for the stronger runner to keep a comfortable place and save his energy for the final lap.

Trump hasn’t learned to skip the attacks on the other candidates. The constant attacks will come back to haunt the eventual nominee. ATTACK the RATS!

[COUNTrecount]

I took part in a Rasmussen telephone poll last night, Trump was the only candidate mentioned, how likely would I vote for him ,I replied that I would absolutely vote for him, a few questions about Planned Parenthood, the economy, how would I rate Hussein (there was no rating low enough for me),was I a conservative, etc.

It will be interesting to see the results.

I think Bush has reached his ceiling at 7%.. nobody talks about that though.. Also, what ever happened to Carly Fiorino ‘s huuuge surge?

[SE Mom]

Rubio? RUBIO?!

Hhhaaahhhh!

[CitizenUSA]

I’m sorry, but I think Rubio is a snake. I know he has his defenders and talks a good (conservative) game, but what did Rubio do as soon as he was elected? Uh, Gang of Eight:

Sen. Michael Bennet, D-CO
Sen. Richard J. Durbin, D-IL
Sen. Jeff Flake, R-AZ
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC
Sen. John McCain, R-AZ
Sen. Bob Menendez, D-NJ
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-FL
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-NY

Enough said?

Dump Trump!

The dynamic of the race has changed, Donald Trump is now the problem.

Heretofore, we could agree that Donald Trump had broken ground because he had broken rules and gotten away with it. He opened the fundamental question in this election, immigration, and made it legitimate to actually oppose unrestrained immigration. This is the most important issue of this election, and Donald Trump should be thanked as he exits.

The exit of Donald Trump is only a question of time. Meanwhile his role has changed, he no longer serves as a shock force opening the debate to matters favorable to the conservative base, he now acts as an impediment to nominating a real conservative who can stop the real threat, Rino Marco Rubio.

Of the top candidates presently in this race, Trump, Rubio, Carson, Fiorina and Cruz only Cruz is a conservative. Trump's biography is a conservative nightmare. Fiorina is vulnerable on her tenure at HP, and her indisputable histrionic skills cannot compensate on the presidential level for these deficiencies, although she might make a splendid vice presidential candidate. Carson, as I predicted, will continue to make gaffes and see his boomlet fade away.

That leaves Marco Rubio as the most dangerous candidate in the field after Trump. Rubio is a snake and he must not be permitted to deceive unwary conservatives, he has discredited himself and disqualified himself by virtue of is treachery on amnesty. Rubio is a deceiver who gained office by seducing the tea party and then immediately sold out to the Mitch McConnell establishment. He has slipped between the sheets with the likes of Chuck Schumer. He has failed us on immigration the key issue in this election.

However, Rubio is possessed of matinee idol good looks, he is facile on his feet or in an interview, he has a compelling biography which he tells compellingly. He is a very dangerous candidate. And he is all the more dangerous because Jeb Bush is clearly yesterday's news.

Donald Trump is not our salvation. So long as Donald Trump's lead exists, even as it deteriorates with one gaffe after another, (also as I predicted), conservatives desperate in honest fear for the Republic will cling to him as to a golden calf. He is not the answer to Jeb Bush, he never was, that fear was unfounded and unnecessary. Similarly, he is not the answer to Marco Rubio.

It will take a real conservative to defeat Marco Rubio and will take a real campaigner who can generate respect as well as attention to himself while on his feet. Ted Cruz has never put a foot down wrong. Cruz is not a walking gaffe machine. His body is not a life-support system for his ego. He is an intellectual and forensic match for Marco Rubio. Ted Cruz's and adding establishment fighter who, unlike Trump, has never bribed politicians and, unlike Marco Rubio, has never betrayed the tea party.

The longer we flirt with The Donald the stronger Marco Rubio will be. Dump Trump now!

[MNJohnnie]

Yep Rubio is on his way! He is firmly in....4th place!

[GOPJ]

Is this a Florida poll?

[Jim Noble]

Surprisingly, Carly Fiorina’s only improved modestly despite her own universally praised debate performance

Since 1984, the infotainment industry (which runs the "debates" AND the polls) has sworn an oath: "Never another Reagan".

Every once in a while, they tip their hand. On October 3, 2007, Dan Balz wrote in the Washington Post, "But the Republican contest remains unsettled just three months before the first votes will be cast...", implying that the actual casting of votes was somehow in opposition to a script, or predetermined outcome. This very year, the media has kept repeating that the two "inevitable" nominees were the two nobody wanted.

Fiorina has nowhere to go but down (metaphorically speaking).

[Lurkinanloomin]

The Cheap Labor Express desperately wants to knock Trump out and elevate one of their amnesty candidates.
Despite the best efforts of The Ministry of Propaganda (including Fox News) to boost their amnesty candidates, the citizens aren’t buying.

[ridesthemiles]

Life long Republican here-—

Cannot vote for Rubio under any circumstance.

[FreeReign]

The manipulated race is really taking shape now. They will fade out RINOs Carly and Jeb.

McConnell butt-boy Marco Rubio will be the one and only establishment candidate against the three anti establishment candidates, Cruz, Trump and Carson.

This is how the establishment thinks that they can win.

[ncalburt]

[BigEdLB]

How come all the other polls done at the same time have Rubio 9-11, and this one is 16?
