Trump’s Long Reign in the Iowa Polls Is Over

Carson agreed with a suggestion that people mistake his soft-spoken manner for a lack of energy.

Political newcomer Ben Carson has surged past front-running billionaire tycoon Donald Trump to lead the 2016 Republican presidential nomination race in early-voting Iowa. The campaign has not publically said how many staffers will accept positions elsewhere in the organization.

“I don’t know what the hell is going on there”, he said.

As you can see from the questions above, Iowa’s GOP base is not at all bothered by the insane, wildly inaccurate things that have fallen out of Carson’s mouth in recent weeks (and months, and years). Both ads end with the tagline: “Heal, Inspire, Revive”.

On Thursday, Quinnipiac released a poll showing Carson with a similar margin over Trump, leading the business magnate by nine percentage points. Trump and Carson tied for second place at 10 percent in a July poll behind Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who has since dropped out of the presidential race.

While Trump has repeatedly emphasized that he is a “counter-puncher” and only attacks other candidates once they’ve attacked him, his assault on the retired neurosurgeon wasn’t a response to anything Carson has said about Trump.

In Florida polls, Trump remains far ahead of Bush, the state’s former two-term governor, and Rubio, the state’s junior senator since 2011. “We Informed Carson But He Was Sleeping'”. While he was at it Trump made sure toInclude Florida Sen., Marco Rubio, saying he’s out of money and “sweating like a dog”. In the Register survey, he was the second-choice candidate of 19 percent of Republican respondents-suggesting that he’d be widely acceptable to almost half of likely caucus goers.

Nationally, Trump still leads Carson and the rest of the field but Loevy believes winning Iowa is critical to Trump’s hopes. Jeb Bush and Rand Paul are at 5 percent.

First, he trashed the polls. Either that or they’ve said that he’s reached his upper limit.

“I can’t even describe the lunacy of him as our nominee”.

“I don’t believe those polls, by the way, because both of those pollsters don’t like me”, he said, adding, “Both of those polling groups do not like me at all, and I disagree”.

Donald Trump on Saturday knocked his fellow presidential candidates for having super PACs backing their presidential bids, just two days after a super PAC backing him announced it was disbanding.
