TRUMP/CRUZ!!!!

As Carson fades, IF he is fading, Cruz is the natural place for his former supporters to go.

Cruz combines the best of both Trump and Carson.

I have been tracking the averages of the four or five top polls for the GOP Presidential Race fpor the last 12 weeks or so.

At this point the clear front runners are Trump, Carson, Cruz, and Rubio. Fiaroni was in the top group for a few weeks, but she has dropped off steadily. A big recent trend is carson dropping off 3-4 percentage points. Trump is maintaining his lead at just under 30% and Cruz has clibed into 3rd place at 15.5%. HE has been jockying with Rubio for 3rd place, with Rubio now around 10%.

IMHO, they should limit the future debate to the top five contenders and allow the others remaining in the race to have t it in the pre-debat, 2nd tier debate each time.

Here's my numbers from the latest polls:
