Another poll of Iowa Republicans found retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson pulling ahead of Donald Trump in the state.
Carson leads Trump 28-19 among likely Republican Iowa caucusgoers, according to a new Bloomberg Politics/Des Moines Register poll released on Friday morning.
The retired neurosurgeon has gained 10 percentage points in Iowa since the last Bloomberg/Des Moines Register poll in August, while Trump has dropped four points.
This is the second recent poll to find Carson unseating Trump as the frontrunner in Iowa. According to a Quinnipiac University poll released on Thursday, Carson led Trump by eight points among likely Republican Iowa caucusgoers.
Following Carson and Trump in the Bloomberg/Des Moines Register poll, 10 percent of likely caucusgoers supported Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and nine percent backed Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL).
Bloomberg/Des Moines Register surveyed 401 likely Republican Iowa caucusgoers via phone Oct. 16-19 with a margin of error plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.
Aww shucks, Donald. Don’t you think its time to insult someone and get those poll numbers rising again? That always does the trick.
How about those silly Iowa corndogs? Have you tried that one yet?
He’s getting that twitter machine warmed up…I can sense its coming.
Get ready folks…The Donald’s about to fart out a new one…and its gonna be a doozy.
This is so bizarre. Of all of the clown car participants, by any metric Dr. Carson is the least qualified to be president. How could he be leading in any poll of any major party? I understand the Tea Party sending ideological bomb throwers to the House on the rationale that it really doesn’t matter, but this thinking apply to the presidency as well?
My theory is that Dr. Carson makes a lot white people feel safe in being able to hold onto their racist beliefs, and Iowa has a lot of old white people.
“This means war !”
Edit: And JEB! and Rand on a shared fifth place… JEB! must have a masochistic streak…
Faux: Iowa Conservatives have finally progressed to love Kenyans. Only shows Racists can be open minded.
