Iowa Republicans appreciate retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson’s more controversial comments, according to a Bloomberg Politics/Des Moines Register poll released on Friday. The poll found Carson leading Trump by nine points among likely Iowa Republican caucusgoers.
According to the survey of likely Iowa Republican caucusgoers, 81 percent approved of Carson’s comment that Obamacare is the “worst thing that’s happened in this nation since slavery;” 77 percent said they liked his statement that Hitler’s rise could have been stopped if German citizens had had guns; and 73 percent liked his concerns about a Muslim becoming president.
Among the respondents, 96 percent said they find Carson’s “common sense” attractive, and 89 percent said they like that he is guided by his faith, according to the poll. Only 32 percent of those surveyed believe Trump is a committed Christian.
The new Bloomberg/Des Moines Register was the second poll released this week showing Carson overtaking Trump in Iowa.
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.
Bottom line: Iowa Republicans are nuts.
96% like the ‘common sense’ of one of the biggest morons in America.
My country cousin in Oklahoma likes Carson too. She likes that he is a self made outsider and largely agrees with or ignores the really stupid shyte that comes out of his mouth.
Whenever I bring up the many negatives about this guy she deflects to that “liar liar pants on fire Hitlery.”
BENGHAAAAAZZZZIIIIII@@12wq1!1w!1!!!
Well, I suppose there may be some credence to these polls, seeing as representative Iowa voters were contacted:
Amazingly, all of them were blindingly white and farmed corn.
All of those had ‘varmint guns’ they used to shoot vermin and their feet by accident.
While claiming that what made America strong was freedom of religion.
