The headline is that Trump is back in the lead. Trump's support is down two 'from previous PPP IA poll,' but UP a bunch since earlier IA polls. I don't think what it "actually says" is the story here. For three weeks all we've heard is how Carson has surged ahead in IA. Well, we just had TWO polls from IA and Trump has "surged" back ahead. I think PPP was trying to obscure that fact by discussing the #3 guy as opposed to the race at the top, where the leader is way ahead of #3.

But suit yourself; go post your own.

Why not just post the headline? The real headline? If you want to put the numbers in parenthesis then go ahead, but changing the headline to suit your purposes isn’t a good idea in my opinion.

By the way, there is a new national WSJ/NBC poll that has Carson in the lead. So Trump still seems to be locked in a battle for first - and some of the 2nd tier (up till now) candidates may be gaining some traction too.

There is a long way to go, and posting polling information with accurate headlines is helpful to everyone.
