I don't know what to make of this poll. Although it's CBS/NYT, and ought to be fairly credible, that sure is a flip in just days with no real earth shaking developments that would account for it. I do know one thing for sure though, there's going to be some shouting and flailing of arms from Trump before the day's out. Ben Carson has surpassed Donald Trump and now narrowly leads the Republican field in the race for the nomination in the latest national CBS News/New York Times Poll.
Twenty-six percent of Republican primary voters back Carson, giving him a four-point edge over Trump (22 percent). Support for Carson has quadrupled since August.

I was shocked to see a Trump poster on a neighbor's lawn (they're transplants from MI, trying to make this place look like an affluent suburb. Weird, and it makes taxes go up.)
ANYhow, I don't agree with Carson on a few things (mostly his stance on vaccines), but he is able to do something Trump cannot: Carson can respectfully teach people the truth without getting into a shouting match. I am impressed by how he deals with jerks and name-callers.

I'd like to know he's "evolved" on the 2nd Amendment. At one time he told Glenn Beck he didn't think some guns should be allowed in urban areas. My main concern is SCOTUS appointments. I think Carson could be trusted not to appoint liberal justices, Trump on the other hand, said he'd appoint his sister - a renowned pro-abortion federal judge.

Trump, Cruz and Carson are persons I can accept. They have gonads... Trump got a spare set from Bruce so, he's brasher.

I think Trump is just there so we can breathe a big sigh of relief when someone else wins the nomination. I hope so...

I question the poll results. Carson is doing well in Iowa but that is probably due to faith based voters. Trump seems to be beating him heavily in most other states.

I think Ben Carson is a very intelligent and good man -- but then so was Jimmy Carter and he was a terrible President.
