But we have to admit that Carson maybe slighly gaining on Trump? Why? I just don’t understand the American public.

Same here. Furthermore, I could go down the street to the marina right now and within 5 minutes find someone that has never heard of Carson. Not possible with Trump.

This is the pushback coming from the establishment to upend Trump using rigged polls.

Maybe that’s the real reason Carson has suspended his campaign...to try and quickly brush up on economics.

Well, I guess selling books is, in a way, learning about economics.

You nailed it. Carson does not move the needle. To win a popularity contest, which is essentially what the Presidential campaign becomes two days before the general election, YOU MUST MOVE THE NEEDLE.

If people pick this guy as our nominee the libtards can have our country. It will be the same old open borders,gun grabbing, get whitey horseshit for four more years. The nation as we know it is probably done already anyhow. The only one that I think could even have a chance to radically change things was Trump because he is beholden to no one and is an alpha male. If the idiots want Carson, let them burn with the rest of the nation. Im really tired of idiots really tired of them. I just wish they were another decent place on planet earth to go.

These polls are being contrived for a narative. They are false.
A sample set of 279 people is NATIONAL poll ( That is not even 6 people per state).What a knee slapping belly laugh joke!!
Any poll that measures anything but individuals intending to vote in a republican primary or intending to attent and vote in a republican caucue is TOTALLY WORTHLESS!!
Carson is not a viable contender. He doen’t have a clue. This is the “Wilder Effect” if it is not totally made up!!

This may change after this budget fiasco. I’m pretty sick of all of them. Someone needs to shake it up and Carson is not the man we need right now. - He’s A good man, but not THE man for the job right now. And I’m an evangelical!

Agree. Moving the needle is critical; Carson doesn’t have what it takes. Love the guy but he doesn’t have the ummph to get past the finish line.

This one claims to do that. It claims 279 republican voters likely to vote in the primary. But 279 IS awful small.

IMHO, the best polls would be if they polled, say, the first 20 states to go to primaries. Then assigned "delegates" accordingly. Your true frontrunner would be the one with the highest "delegate" count.

I don’t know one, much less 1 in 3, pubs supporting Dr. Carson

I know a few. In my church there's a lot of support for Trump and Cruz but there's also a couple of folks...just a couple...who support Carson.

I have been saying all along.

There are no Carson supporters.

Only Trump supporters that either dont want to admit to pollsters they are Trump supporters or who are not quite sure they want to support Trump because of all the nasty things the media is saying about him, but dont really like any of the alternatives, so Carson is a safe place to park while they make up their minds.

I guess that story of Trump doing something dastardly I missed.

If you assume that the polls are correct (a big if?) and there is some movement for Carson you have to wonder why that is. Carson hasn't said or done anything recently to justify movement in his direction. He's been on a book tour! That leaves you wondering what Trump may have done to turn voters off. The only thing I can think of is that these polls are showing some blowback from his 9-11 comments. Especially since they've been characterized as 'Truther' comments, which they certainly are not. If there is movement I think it's temporary and Trump has plenty of time to recover.

what is it with all this small B/S polls about the gun grabbing, social justice, black lives matter, open borders Carson winning. Yes I know the polls in the last two days are B/S , but surely people have or must have woken up by now that the polls have been skewed for years and the media, the establishment, the media,and the Chamber of commerce will do anything to take down anyone who opposes them.
