Poll also indicates that if one of those two candidates were to leave the race, the other would benefit significantly.
Overall, Trump leads the Republican field with 31 percent of likely Republican voters listing him as their first choice, based on a nationwide online survey of 318 likely Republican primary voters conducted by YouGov America under the direction of the UMass Poll from Nov. 5-13. Carson comes in second at 22 percent, followed by Senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio at 13 percent and 9 percent, respectively. No other candidate was able to garner 5 percent support.
The poll also asked the second choice preference among respondents, and 36 percent of Trump supporters named Carson as their secondary choice, while Trump is the second choice preference among 30 percent of those backing Carson, indicating that if one of those two candidates were to leave the race the other would benefit significantly.

RFID microchip manufacturers, pro-amnesty FReepers hit hardest.
what does that mean
I don’t see how Carson is polling so well at this point.

Trump 31, Carson 22 is pretty much crushing him with as close as it’s been recently. Maybe BC Hammer-Time is almost over?
does not take into account last few days, might be totally different in subsequent polls

I’ll be damned, here’s an actual national phone poll. Trump at 31%, up by 9.
I hope i don’t meet a Carson supporter, i just cannot handle weird people anymore. Hopefully his numbers are indeed manufactured.
I love the sarcasm.
Carson’s good buddies, muzzie ‘Minister’ Farakhan, and ‘Reverend’ Sharpton agree! Anti Second Amendment pro gun folks hit hard to.
I don’t think Carson will drop out anytime soon...but his numbers will fall to single digits before the end of the year.
I find one entry to be a big and welcome surprise.
Under the heading, “which candidate will you not vote for”,
Cruz had the second lowest negative rating at 16%, just behind Carson at 14%.
