    Yeah, that IBD/TIPP poll that Denny made a big deal about a few days ago really seems to be the outlier.

    The other trend is the amount of people they poll directly influences the margin of lead. The lower polled, the lower his lead. The higher they poll, the higher his lead.

    Ben Carson's strategy of being himself (kind of an asshole), saying crazy shit, and providing no indication of his qualifications is paying off big.

    Looks like you missed this one, Mags:

    http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...-run-for-his-money-in-gop-race/?intcmp=hplnws

    Trump in a virtual dead heat with Carson followed at a distance by Cruz.

    All three are totally unelectable, IMHO. Not that we're totally screwed, though, with goofy uncle Bernie, lying Hillary, and the 3 stooges from last night's debate available to take on the highest office in the land.

    I didn't miss it. As you see, Fox is part of the morning consult average. The new poll has him at 27, which is 1 higher than the last time they polled. Carson gained 8 on that poll, but it would only add a .5 to the average.

    The Fox poll that I linked is newer than the one in your chart. Trump is at 24 in the new poll and Carson is at 23.

    You are right, but the result is still the same. He's still with a very large lead.

    Donald Trump has been saying the same thing for the last 35 years.

    (CNN)Donald Trump holds double-digit leads over Ben Carson in both South Carolina and Nevada, the third and fourth states scheduled to hold nominating contests in next year's race for the presidency, with Trump widely seen in each state as the best candidate to handle a range of top issues, according to new CNN/ORC polls.

    Trump holds 38% support in Nevada, with Carson in second with 22%, and in South Carolina, Trump doubles Carson's support, 36% to 18%. No other candidate comes close to those top two in either state; the third-place candidate in each case has less than 10% support.

    Trump's backing in both states outpaces his support in most recent national polling, where he tends to draw around a quarter of Republican voters.

    FULL RESULTS: CNN/ORC Poll: South Carolina and Nevada Republicans

    In Nevada, where more than half of likely caucus participants say they have made up their mind or are leaning toward someone, Carly Fiorina takes third place with 8%, followed by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio with 7% and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush with 6%. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee are next at 4% each, with the remainder of the field at 2% or less.

    Trump's supporters in Nevada are more committed than others: Among those likely caucus-goers who say they have made up their minds or are leaning toward someone, 53% support Trump, 21% Carson, 7% Rubio and everyone else is at 5% or less. Those who say they are still trying to decide whom to support break 21% each for Carson and Trump, 12% for Fiorina, 10% for Bush, 9% for Huckabee and 6% for Rubio.

    Jeb Bush lands key endorsement in New Hampshire

    Among all likely voters in South Carolina, Rubio takes third with 9%, followed by Fiorina at 7%, Bush at 6%, Cruz at 5% and the state's senior senator, Lindsey Graham, also at 5%. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul follows at 4%, with Huckabee at 3% and the rest at 2% or less.

    Fewer South Carolina Republican voters say they have made up their minds about whom to support than among Nevada Republicans: 60% say they are still trying to decide, and the difference in candidate support between the two groups is not large enough to be significant.

    Trump's lead rests on widespread perceptions that he's the best candidate to handle the economy (67% say so in Nevada, 59% in South Carolina, while no other candidate hits double-digits) and illegal immigration (55% in Nevada and 51% in South Carolina, topping the other candidates by 40 points or more). About 6 in 10 in each state say Trump is the candidate most likely to change the way things work in Washington (60% in Nevada, 58% in South Carolina). Furthermore, nearly half -- 47% in Nevada and 44% in South Carolina -- view Trump as the candidate with the best chance of winning the general election next November.

    Trump: If I were a Democrat, I'd have Secret Service by now

    Trump's strength fades somewhat on foreign policy, handling ISIS and social issues. Although Trump tops all other candidates by significant margins when voters and caucus-goers are asked which candidate would best handle foreign policy (he's up 21 points in Nevada, and 13 points in South Carolina) and ISIS (he tops Rubio by 33 points in Nevada and tops Graham by 27 points in South Carolina), his advantages are smaller than those he's built on the economy and immigration.

    Trump is also slightly less dominant on which candidate best represents the values of Republicans like themselves. In Nevada, 34% say that's Trump, 19% Carson, 10% Cruz, 9% Rubio and 7% each Bush and Fiorina. In South Carolina, 25% say it's Trump, 19% Carson, 10% Bush, 8% Rubio, 7% Graham, 6% Cruz, and 5% each Fiorina and Huckabee.

    On social issues, Trump runs about even with Carson as most trusted in both states, 25% Trump to 23% Carson in Nevada and 26% Carson to 22% Trump in South Carolina.

    Trump: 'I actually look forward' to attacking Ben Carson

    Among white evangelical protestants in South Carolina, who made up about two-thirds of South Carolina Republican voters in the 2012 GOP primary and are far more likely than other Republicans to call social issues their top concern (15% among white evangelicals vs. 1% among all other likely GOP voters), Trump tops Carson by 8 points, 32% to 24%, with Rubio at 11%.

    In both states, the economy was the top issue for those who say they're likely to participate in the nominating contests, with 39% of Nevada Republicans and 41% of South Carolina Republicans calling it the most important issue in deciding their presidential vote.

    The CNN/ORC polls were conducted by telephone October 3-10. A total of 1,009 South Carolina adults were interviewed, including 521 who said they were likely to vote in the Republican presidential primary. In Nevada, interviews were conducted with 1,011 adults, including 285 who said they were likely to participate in the Republican presidential caucus. Results among likely Republican voters in South Carolina have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points; for Nevada Republican caucus-goers, it is 6 points.

    They've been saying this for the last 4 months. Remember they said summer, then September, so now when?

    He's still got roughly 70% of Republicans against him and probably 90% of Democrats. I wouldn't go buying tickets for the inauguration just yet.

    Latest presidential poll shows Donald Trump beating Hillary Clinton in head-to-head contest, Trump taking 70% of the electoral votes
    SHARE ON FACEBOOK

    SHARE ON TWITTER
    By Thomas Madison

    The latest 2016 presidential poll has Donald Trump destroying Hitlery Clinton in a head-to-head matchup, 375 electoral votes to Hitlery’s 163. That is an astonishing 70% to 30%, and is very good news if you are a Donald Trump supporter…. and I am!

    From Dmitri Voltova, prntly.com

    Based on an average of the RCP polling data from all the states and all the “head to head” matchups between Donald Trump (by far the winner of the GOP) and Hillary Clinton (The winner of the Democratic Party) shows bad news for the Democrats.

    Clinton is losing handily in all the swing states, and is even losing Democrat strongholds of Maryland, Connecticut, and Oregon.

    According to many polls, and the averages, Clinton cannot even hold on to California and New York without a major fight. On the bright side for the Democrat party, they make gains in the south as Obama is now off the ticket.
    Trump would defeat Hillary Clinton by 5 percentage points nationwide: getting 52% and Clinton gathering 47% (presuming the pollsters are citing the popular vote)

    OK, I'm going to say something pretty inflammatory, but I have been thinking about it lately. If Trump wins, it honestly wouldn't shock me if he ends up being the Third Antichrist starting WWIII. He's got the ego. Hitler fooled people too. Honestly, he scares me.
