Ben Carson Surges In Polls After Debate Performance by Nobody: 10:38pm On Aug 10, 2015 |
Though Donald Trump retains his somewhat surprisingly strong grip as the Republican presidential front-runner, another non-politician is starting to rise to the top of the polls. As Princeton polling expert Sam Wang pointed out, accomplished neurosurgeon Ben Carson has risen to the top-tier of the three polls released following the first Republican presidential debate Thursday night. On Monday, Public Policy Polling released a poll of Republican primary voters in Iowa showing Carson with 12% support among Hawkeye State Republicans, which puts him second behind Trump. NBC and SurveyMonkey also released a poll Sunday in which Carson rose to 11% nationally among Republican primary voters. He trailed only Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who did not see the same success in the other two polls. And the firm Morning Consult also found Carson among the top-three candidates in its post-debate poll released on Monday, with Carson up to 9% from 8% in late July. The data correspond with the response to Carson's debate performance and trace a trend that's been emerging for weeks. Though Carson has never held elected office, many conservative commentators and analysts agreed that he capitalized on the short time that he had to speak at the debate. According to The Washington Post, Carson had the second-highest social media mentions, despite speaking less than almost any other candidate. Unlike Trump, Republican primary voters also view Carson in a highly favorable light. According to PPP, Carson has the highest favorability among Republican primary voters in Iowa — 69% view him favorably, as opposed to 10% who don't. That number is up significantly from PPP's poll in April. And it outpaces Trump, who just 46% of Republican voters in Iowa view favorably. Even the candidates themselves have praised Carson. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) released a video before the debate on Thursday singling out Carson as the Republican rival he most admired in the race. http://www.businessinsider.com/ben-carson-polls-debate-2015-8 |

Carson no doubt is a good material but Obama has killed his chances. Many white folks see voting Obama as a terrible mistake and they won't do it again. They even did because he has a little white background as per his mom. However, if the Latinos and the blacks resolve their cat and rat stupidity and put their heads together, the dream may be achievable. ![]() 1 Like |

Ben Carson is going no where, even he knows that, that is why he is positioning himself to be the running mate of the eventual candidate but even at that, blacks won't vote for an uncle tom and latino's won't vote a party that has nothing but contempt and vitriol towards them. We are looking at 12 years of democratic party control if the u.s presidency. |

Whatever they do, hillary is the next American president. Donald is way too dumb with his hatred for Latinos and his shady deals in the trump estates. Bush jnr won't get a chance cos of his father's antecedents. And our uncle Ben is a black surgeon, and I think Americans have had enough blacks as president to last a life time. So the tradition of a Republican after a democrats won't continue |

pomporiking:in as much as he is president of all races in the u.s, he has done some specific things for blacks but they have refused to recognise and tap into it, these include healthcare, education and even criminal justice reform. Recently, obama just pardoned more than 20 black mean sentenced for petty drug offenses. The problem with SOME blacks is that just like their SOME of their brothers in Africa they want everything free!! They want obama to assembly them on the national mall in Washington d.c, clear out the federal reserve and start handing them cash, rather than take advantage of the numerous opportunities made available for them. Instead latino's are taking those opportunities and their community is growing more than the blacks. |

Unfortunately, Carson is going nowhere. The race is actually between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump though the Democrats are a little bit complacent at the moment. With Trump setting a new kind of trend in today's politics in the States, He is likely to pull a surprise victory at the polls, unless the Democrats step up their game between now and January. |

peppyluv02:his implication was RACIST and I was greatly offended by it. How can he say obama's presidency has somehow tainted the chances of other blacks becoming president. As if blacks are less competent or knowledgeable on leadership. |

NaijaTalkTown:Donald trump is a joke and is only gaining traction with fridge right wing anti- immigrants republican voter base! The RNC will never let him get their nomination or else they will be crushed to dust in the elections where the votes they need are mostly from independents,latinos, blacks and women all of which trump has insulted just within the last few weeks. |
