Trump is at 27% and Carson at 24% with a MOE of 6%. It looks like Carson is gaining with true conservatives who are beginning to see that Trump is a sham.

I actually like them both. I will support either one.

We'll see how they will do after the debate. It should be interesting. Both have little political knowledge so the chance of screwing up is big.

I know some people think Trump is untouchable but I don't believe that to be the case. Of course those obsessed with illegal immigration will support him until he drops out of the race but others will vote for the flavor of the month and Trump is no longer the new popular kid in town

He's no longer all over the news like he was when he was talking about Megyn's period. That will affect him. The kind of people he attracts have a short attention span, they lose interest very easily just like no one is talking about that blue/black/white/golden dress that was all over the news a few months ago.

I actually think John Kasich is a rising star.

I still like Rand Paul the most, but i know he has no chance.

He could rise, it's still early. He can appeal to a lot of people. Unlike many of the other candidates he has a good record to back up his claims. Carly? Christy

Trump is doing about what was expected in getting up to about 25% and then flat-lining from there. Carson must be getting support from the other conservatives. Carson won't stay there, he is just not presidential material, and his support will flow back to them if they are still around or to Bush. There are principled conservatives though who can't be swayed (for long) by Trump.

So the margin of error for registered Republican voters, of which there was 376 of the 1261 is 6%.

The margin of error for the sample of 376 Republican primary voters is 6 percentage points.

Exactly who else where they polling and why does their opinion matter?

If the GOP nominates Carson, they most likely will not win the election. He is too inexperienced and too religious, I mean really, I believe in God and the 10 Commandments but I couldn't listen to his "sermon" and I think it was supposed to be a speech. I support separation of church and state and I think he'll make many people uncomfortable, the wearing his religion on his sleeve thing. I was brought up to believe religion was a more personal thing and that you lived it, living by example, not wearing it on your sleeve. He has just became a turnoff after listening to him. Yes, a lot of things are morally wrong BUT separation of church and state.

Trump could probably beat Carson though if Trump goes 3rd party. I thought it seemed like there were some hints to that with one of the women that introduced his rally last night.

Trump will pull from both Republicans and Democrats and most of the others cannot. There is "Trump" and then there are "the rest of them".

I wonder how many people insulting Trump constantly have actually listened to him or maybe have the ability to understand business, social skills and the dynamics of actually making and working a plan.

These results are consistent with recent polls: Trump is relatively stagnant while Carson is surging closer to the lead. The others are far in the distance.

They will probably be releasing more results from the other respondents.
