A poll just released shows that Trump is now losing by a significant margin to Carson in Iowa. The reason: women. Who would have guessed? His weakness with women will kill him in the unlikely event he wins the nomination.

574 people likely to vote Republican. Further detail on that poll: http://www.quinnipiac.edu/images/pol...15_igv72sh.pdf

I could vote for Carson if Trump doesn't run as the GOP nominee or 3rd party. The rest can just stand around and sing "if I only had a brain"!

Aside from totally enjoying a Trump run for the presidency, a Carson run would at least demonstrate that black folks didn't vote for Obama just because of his race.

Good to see Trump drop. Now lets see where Rand Paul is .... hmmmm 6% He is higher then BUSH, Florina, Christie, Santorium.
How is that possible!!!! How is the media calling on the death of Rand Paul's campaign 2 weeks ago and to GET OUT of the race. Yet we dont hear the calls for Bush to leave. :-)

Hmmmm
I wonder why?

Rand keep pushing on, Liberty needs a voice and common sense the list of republicans with none.

Could be. Mostly, though, I am trying to point out what I have claimed all along: Trump is a flash in the pan and true Republicans won't back him in the end. I can't see them backing Carson either. He is a way station on the journey to electoral sanity. That said, these Quinnipiac surveys have been a little out of the ordinary this year. Trump will stall before he falls.

I'm happy with Trump or Carson. As long as Bush stays at or below 5%, it's all good!

I believe Trump has a better chance at beating Clinton than Carson does. Iowa Republicans are more socially conservative than the average American Republican, so this poll doesn't surprise me. I still believe Trump will be the nominee. Iowa may go first but they aren't the bellwether that the media makes them out to be.

As Chris Matthews deftly asked the Time reporter, who was still saying people aren’t paying attention, how do you go from Trump to Bush? Not gonna happen. Trump fails only if he stops being Trump. There is no sign of that.
