Donald Trump has boasted that he's "leading every poll and in most cases big." Not anymore. The latest IBD/TIPP Poll shows him in second place, seven points behind Ben Carson.
The nationwide survey found that 24% of Republicans back Carson, compared with 17% who say they support Trump.
Marco Rubio came in third with 11% and Carly Fiorina fourth at 9%. Jeb Bush, once considered a prohibitive favorite, ranked fifth with just 8% support, which was a point lower than those who say they are still undecided.
The IBD/TIPP Poll has a proven track record for accuracy, based on its performance in the past three presidential elections. In a comparison of the final results of various pollsters for the 2004 and 2008 elections, IBD/TIPP was the most accurate. And the New York Times concluded that IBD/TIPP was the most accurate among 23 polls over the three weeks leading up to the 2012 election.

Yeah, right.
Here we go again with this old ludicrous poll it was posted five or six times and released last Friday
What would be fun about a Carson win, would be calling liberals racists everytime they opposed Carson’s policies.
It' a complete BS outlier from IBD (see Wall St. crony crowd) that is nowhere close to any existing polling.
My baloney has a first name.
The anti-Trump coalition needs something to cheer about tonight.
Thought I'd toss one over.
Sorry but I’ll stick with Trump until he is at 1% and he announces he quit...I don’t think it will ever happen...
so i say...
LET’S ROLL AND VOTE TRUMP AND MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
Maybe I live in a cave, but I know a lot of republicans, and not one of them that I know supports Dr. Carson as a first choice.
PS. NOT the most accurate in 2012. Final IBD has Obummo +1. Pew haD him +3 in their final poll. Final was Obumo +3.5 over Romney. Current Pew has Trump +10
377 people not a real poll
Old poll.
Outlier.
They should try with a larger sample next time.
The good Dr Ben sure packs out those campaign venues. Trump better take a lesson or two on how its done. /sc
Uh-huh.
Sure.
Gosh, I’m SO worried.
Within 24 to 48 hours, this poll will be revealed for what it is.
There’s a lot of gamesmanship going on right now.
This is utterly laughable.
Trump gets 10, 20, and 30 thousand people out to his events, and Carson gets 10, 20, and 30 tens of people out to his.
Hey IBD, pull my finger...
And they’re now flooding networks with this poll. Could they be any more blatant with their coverage?
OUTLIER
“included 377 registered voters”
There are 57 states so do the math.
Um, am I missing something here? I thought the GOP was the party of racism. How’s it going with that, Big Br’O?
OMG. Hes got my vote.
