Public Policy Polling gave The Rachel Maddow Show a sneak peek at the results of their August 28-30 poll to be released tomorrow. ...surprising is to find Beltway-favored candidates Chris Christie and Rand Paul floundering at the bottom with barely any support.

[heights]

Poor Runt Paul.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Who are these guys?

[Fungi]

My heart bleeds. Doughnut boy, get back in line at Krispy Kreme as soon as possible as it will be your salvation—you will never ascend beyond the door of its local venue. Rand, you screwed it up, learned too much from your father.

[proust]

Pez dispensers.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

LMAO. Thats a good one. I’m stealing it!

Ted Cruz draws very big crowds where ever he goes... like Trump...

(all) the others DO NOT....somethings wrong with these POLLS... extremely flawed....

ON PURPOSE FLAWED?.. nah that would be a conspiracy..
that can’t be.. NAH.. conspiracy NEVAH..

What do you think I wear a tin foil TRUMP T-SHIRT?...
Oh! and Cruz has the most donations too..

[hosepipe]

That's it. It must be the polls.

Maybe if they did the polls before the crowd goes in instead of after they wake up from being lulled by the speech.

Ron Paul used to draw crowds but had no broad support. I have tried to explain to you why Cruz never gets above 6% but you prefer to rant.

Cruz had a chance to lead by gathering support for the shutdown. He got one guy---Lee. He didn't even get Sessions.

He had a second chance---with even more conservatives (Cotton, Ernst, Lee, Sessions) to stop Import/Export and didn't try. Suicide Alamo stands are needed ONCE in a while. Most of the time you have to get people to follow. That's what leaders do. That's what Trump has done. Stop blaming the polls and look at some real reasons.

[rrrod]

Interesting polls. Folks need to pay close attention to good ol Rush for the actual pulse of conservatives.

The GOPe is now quietly hoping that Carson can create a stall in Trump’s campaign long enough for Jeb to get back on his feet or Kasich to catch fire. They will also push for Fiorina. Money is already going to Carson from GOPe sources and the media friends are building him up. They hope Trump goes after him so Trump can be made to appear anti-Black and also have him go after a “nice” guy.

[Mollypitcher1]

LOL Ya got it right!

[Mollypitcher1]

Carson is just that, a nice guy. He is not qualified to be president in any way, shape, or form. Surgeon General, yes, absolutely, but president, no way!

[bonfire]

Agree. He is in over his head.

True... say ANYTHING to get people to FOLLOW you ... He does(trump)..

And he does it well.. Salesmanship.. “what can I do to put into this bullshit campaign TODAY”..
Well, USED Trump salesman..

Cruz don’t play that.. he don’t MARKET-”the truth”.... he LIVES IT..

Cruz is for real, Trump is all PeeWee Herman’ed Up..

HOW do you know someone’s FUTURE <<— look at their PAST..

Thanks for your cogent and honest analysis..
I march to s different Drummer.. ARMED.. and Ready..

Been wondering about some of these polls. Is there some effort to keep Ted Cruz's numbers down seeing that he represents the biggest threat to the GOPe the liberal media and Obama’s far left executive orders etc? That is very possible. Won't be the first time the liberal media have deliberately falsified polls to lower the polling numbers for conservatives or Republicans.
However, what interests me more is the wide discrepancy in the polls. Seems to me the polls are very volatile right now, and things are going to take some time to settle down over the next 5 months to the Iowa Caucus and even beyond.

From Real Clear Politics.

For example PPP has Cruz at 6%, Fiorina at 8. Yet Quinnipiac over nearly the same period has Cruz at 7 , Fiorina at 5. If You go through the polls at RCP, they seem to be all over the he place sometimes with one candidate ahead of another in one poll, yet considerably behind the same candidate in another poll carried around the same time.

Cruz’s numbers are NOT DOWN, their UP and getting Upper..
AND his donations are INCREASING.... 98% less than $70$..
He’s bringing in the most money of any candidate..

Where are all these donations coming from?..
FROM people the POLLS NEVER call.. ON PURPOSE...
And many supporters never donate to anyone.. like ME..

Probably.. 3 to 1 do not donate or attend rallys.. maybe MORE than that..
You know the SILENT MAJORITY...

Closer to election time.. many TRUMP followers
WIll GO ..UGH.. like Scoopy Do and vote for Cruz..

to add to the already large Cruz crowd..

I TOO LIKE TRUMP’s salesmanship.. but would never vote for him..
If he’s plowing up conservative GROUND WHY? STOP HIM?..

PeeWee Herman had a good show very entertaining, BUT as PRESIDENT... Come ON!...
