This just in...Ben Carson ties Donald Trump in new Iowa poll.

Greenbacks · Aug 31, 2015

<cite class="el-editorial-source">Washington (CNN)</cite>For the first time in more than a month, mogul Donald Trump is not leading the field in one of the first four nominating states in the Republican primary, according to a new poll.

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson has surged up in the pack to tie Trump in Iowa, Monmouth University found in a poll out Monday.

Trump and Carson are tied at 23%, according to the survey, making it the first time since July 26 that a poll in the first four states to select a Republican nominee did not find Trump substantially ahead of all other candidates.

Farther behind Trump and Carson were former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, at 10%; Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, at 9%; Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, at 7%; former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, at 5%; Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, each at 4%; Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, at 3%; and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, at 2%. No other candidates topped 1%.

The results are a stark contrast from Monmouth's last Iowa poll, taken before the first Republican debate. In late July, Walker led with 22%, Trump had 13%, Carson had 8% and Fiorina was at 3%.

A CNN/ORC poll taken earlier this month found a similar top tier of candidates, but with a much stronger lead for Trump. In that poll, Trump was at 22%, Carson was at 14%, Walker was at 9%, Cruz was at 8% and Fiorina was at 7%.

In Monmouth's survey, when voters said they had strongly made up their mind on who they were voting for, Trump led Carson 30% to 22%. But those with only slight preferences backed Carson 25% to Trump's 16%.

Monmouth surveyed 405 registered Republican voters and likely Iowa caucus-goers from Aug. 27 to Aug. 30 by live phone interview, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.

Trump bragging so hard about leading may be backfiring on him. Trump's advisers are failing him, allowing him to bellow about that lead he had from podiums as much as he did. Came off very poorly, like braggadocio. Sure, mention the lead cuz people love to back a winner but don't just keep going on and on and on and on about it. Bringing it up over and over within a speech. The Donald showing remarkable short shortsightedness and very very Amateur Hour tactics out there on the campaign Trail. Prolly he gets better though.

Dr. Carson is great

Probably an outlier poll:

Looking further into the latest Monmouth's survey, when voters said they had strongly made
up their mind on who they were voting for, Trump led Carson 30% to 22%. But those with
only slight preferences backed Carson 25% to Trump's 16%.

Sharpton and I have the same goal: to build a brighter, stronger America that provides equal opportunities and access to the underserved and forgotten. However, we have a fundamental difference of opinion regarding the best way to achieve such an end.

Carson is the best candidate out there, from either side.

I`m no Racist......To be honest with you....I wish we can all get along.

With that said....I rather live in Iraq then live in America under another Black president.

Day by day we become more and more divided in this country......The HATRED is out of control here in the U.S....I blame that on Obama....That`s my view.

This eye for an eye bullshit has to stop....Cop kills a Black person....So let`s go out and ASSASSINATE a cop.

“Pigs in a blanket, fry ‘em like bacon[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]”[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif].........[/FONT]That really strikes a nerve with me.....Can you believe that people walk the streets and chant that here in America???

The Politicians want to talk about....Immigration,Health Care,Gun Control,Trade,Etc,Etc.
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/FONT]
The # 1 problem is the HATRED that REEKS from coast to coast here in America.

We might as well have a CIVIL WAR.....Whites vs Blacks.......What the fuck is going on???

Fuck the sayings...."Black lives matter"....“Pigs in a blanket, fry ‘em like bacon".

How about the saying..............."Let`s All Get Along".

Everyday here in America it`s HATE and KILL.

How about LOVE and PEACE......Those 2 words mean a lot.

There are 320 million people in the US. The majority of us get along fine. You hear about the black/white racists because the of the media, but the vast majority of
people can't stand racists.

That being said, I think Obama is a fucking idiot, and a racist - and he's done nothing to quell the racial divide, but instead has fanned the flames. I think
Carson would do a much better job on that end.

Trump is losing ground, but the hype can be backed up.

I hear you. But there would be no news if everything was all love and peace. Hate and killing is what sells, not love and peace. If you want to blame anyone blame the advertising companies, blame the news channels, blame the government. Most people are sheep and can't think for themselves so they let the ads and the news and the government tell them their views and opinions. They are looking out for themselves, all 3 of these things. That is what this country has relayed. The message of take care of yourself, because we are. That doesn't sound like "everybody is here to help" or "lets all get along". Blame them.
