Carson Takes the Lead


Trump has been the talk of the town for weeks and as he puts it, has been “leading every poll and in most cases big”.  However, the newest IBD/TIPP Poll shows him seven points behind Ben Carson.

The IBD/TIPP Poll has a proven track record for accuracy, based on its performance in the past three presidential elections.

The October poll, conducted from Sept. 26 to Oct. 1, included 377 registered voters who are Republican or registered independents who lean toward the Republican Party, with a margin of error of +/- 5 percentage points.

Other polls have shown that Trump’s support has shifted in a negative direction.

The Real Clear Politics average of six national polls shows him falling from 30.5% in mid-September to 23.3% by the end of the month. That average does not include the IBD/TIPP findings.

Carson’s advance in the polls has occurred after his controversial remarks that he could not support a Muslim for president, on Meet the Press.  The public likes to hear truthful opinions, both Trump and Carson have been willing to advance their non-politically correct positions, regardless of public perception.

Another candidate, gaining in the polls is Marco Rubio.

Rubio’s third-place standing shows he has gained considerable ground since the second GOP debate. But Fiorina, who was widely seen as having won that debate, has been unable to capitalize on it with Republicans
