New Utah voters poll: Carson on top

Similarly, only 27 percent had a favorable opinion of Republican U.S. Sen. Carson was tied with Bush at 9 percent.

Most, 71%, of the Republican insiders surveyed this week by The POLITICO Caucus said Carson was the most vulnerable Republican presidential candidate on foreign policy – far more than any other candidate.

WBUR’s last poll showed that defeating Islamic State terrorists was the top priority for GOP primary voters in New Hampshire, when nine issues were offered.

On a recent episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the CBS host delivered a terrifying revelation unto his audience: that given Trump’s new numbers in a Reuters/Ipsos poll, “Trump now captures 42 percent of…Republicans likely to cast votes in the party’s presidential primary”, per Reuters.

“These are frightening numbers for Bush”. Overall results have an error estimate of plus or minus 1.9 percentage points and the error estimate for the leaned Republican voters is plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.

Twenty-six percent said Mr. Kasich did the worst job – the highest percentage for any candidate.

“As other candidates leave the dance floor and disappoint supporters, they are the next most attractive dance partners”, La Raja said. The former governor of the state has dropped back a little over two points in the same period – within the MOE, but not in a direction that would boost confidence in his future in the race.

This NBC News/SurveyMonkey poll confirms the findings of yesterday’s PPP poll: Trump stabilizing, Carson fading, Cruz surging.

Among evangelical voters, Trump has closed to within two points of Carson; but Cruz is dominating among “very conservative” voters, leading by 12 points over Trump.

“Carson’s greatest strength has always been who people think he is as a person”, J. Ann Selzer of the Iowa-based Selzer & Co. said, the one who conducted the poll. “That is fascinating given the weakness of their support among political elites and their total lack of government experience”. “Trump appears to have flatlined”, La Raja said.

Voters did give Carson the edge on working effectively with Congress – 62 percent said he would be best at it, whereas 30 percent said Trump would. Cruz, despite being of Cuban decent himself, gets just 6.4 percent.

The survey of 405 likely New Hampshire Republican primary voters was conducted November 14-15 by The MassINC Polling Group.
