The October poll, conducted from Sept. 26 to Oct. 1, included 377 registered voters
who are Republican or registered independents who lean toward the Republican Party, with a
margin of error of +/- 5 percentage points.

Rush predicted this yesterday, when Trump verified he said he would pull out if he started losing in the polls

Yup! I sure hope someone has told him to walk back that statement in some way.

(yawn) just another liberal poll to debunk Trump...

We know where our man stands in the Polls, and if he was going to slump, he would have done it before now...and remember the debates are coming up in a couple of weeks and its on economy, financial and that is Trump's arena, so if the lame stream media and the GOPee can get Trump off center stage they will do anything they can....

There is also another article saying Hillary will win the presidency because of the illegal aliens votes...another way to debunk Trump...all garbage!!!

The crowd size is the real poll. Trump has yuuuge crowds.

People shouldn’t be fooled by the site’s name. It leans heavily left, at least in the articles I’ve read there.

When you look at the poll you see they include a candidate named Ryan - getting 3 percent.
(Wrong election, fellas!)

Nate Silver's take, from 2009:
"the IBD/TIPP polling operation has literally no idea what they’re doing"

It is not necessarily “socialist”-left. It is anti-middle class. And pro-rich donor class.

Interests of rich donor class and the middle class are opposite of each other. One wants to flood the country with cheaper H1-B visa workers, the other wants to keep wages from going lower.

No problem. It’s Sen. “Ryan” Paul of KY.

Fox ‘special’ Report will be all over that poll and watch the Kraut beam with his goofy grin.

So basically this is a 15-point difference with the other two recent polls. Not likely.

A little cut and paste from Rushlimbaugh.com from Friday.:

RUSH: By the way, Trump says that he would get out of the race if he falls behind in the polls.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Anyway, on this Trump business, this is a story from the New York Post. "Sinking poll numbers would be the one thing to force Donald Trump out of the presidential campaign, he said Thursday. Asked whether he’d quit if he could no longer boast he’s 'leading in every poll,' Trump told CNBC: 'Well, I’m not a masochist. If I fell behind badly, I would certainly get out. I’m in this for the long haul.' The RealClearPolitics average of recent national polls has Trump at 23 percent, ahead of Ben Carson’s 16 percent. They are followed by Carly Fiorina (12 percent)," blah, blah, you know the deal.

This is not a good thing for Trump to say. I mean, we were just talking about institutions that have been corrupted. I mean, all the Rubio pollsters have to do or anybody else's pollsters is show a poll that shows Trump's dropped five points and keep going 'til he's behind somebody. I don't know about this. But that's what he said.

I don’t think that Carson’s body parts are conducive to waging a strong counter war to what is going on between the US and Muslim world. I admire Carson as a man of compassion but such will not relieve the US of danger from Islam.

CARSON is wishy-washy on abortion and is pro-amnesty. He is no General Patton.

No, you missed what she was saying...

Dr. Marcus Welby = Carson

General Patton = Trump
