Poll Shows Trump Trailing Carson in Iowa
by Eliana Johnson October 6, 2015 12:53 PM

A poll released Tuesday shows Donald Trump trailing neurosurgeon Ben Carson in Iowa by five points, 21 to 16. The poll, conducted by Basswood Research on behalf of the Club for Growth, which has been airing an ad knocking Trump across the state of Iowa, is the first since Trump entered the race in June that shows him trailing any other candidate.

Carson and Trump are followed closely by Marco Rubio with 11 points and Jeb Bush and Carly Fiorina with 10 points each, a statistical three-way tie. A full 18 percent say they remain undecided, an indication of how fluid the field remains. The poll also reinforces what other surveys have measured, which is that Trump’s favorability rating is low (he ranked seventh, with 53 percent favorability), and his unfavorable numbers are high (he ranked second, with 41 percent of respondents saying they had an unfavorable view of him). The poll was conducted by Basswood Research’s Jon Lerner, who’s a credible and highly-respected pollster on the Republican side. He surveyed 500 likely GOP caucusgoers.

Club for Growth is the donor running an ad against Trump over the Kelo Decision which impacts state and local governments and has nothing to do with the Office of the President of the United States.

So, lets get this straight. Club for Growth wants a $1 million from Trump and he says no because he doesn't support their agenda of more immigration and free trade. Club for Growth decides to support other candidates who support amnesty for illegal aliens,more immigration and free trade treason agreements and use its PAC money to run ads against Trump over the Kelo Decision, which he had nothing to do with and then orders its own Poll to try and show that their negative ad is working.

I hope people are smart enough to see through this.

Trump should counter with the following points:

1. Kelo Decision is for state and local governments any of whom have the states rights to pass their own laws to prohibit such takings with substantial compensation in their state or community.

2. Taking of property with compensation for a good public purpose is far better than taking of property with no compensation over unpaid income or property taxes.

3. Far more properties are taken by government and transferred to another without compensation through the income and property tax laws than the right of eminent domain.

4. If conservatives gave a hoot about "property rights" they would support the FairTax system for all levels of government and end the taking of properties without any compensation through tax laws.

Carson would not be a formidable leader - very nice man but we need a strong speaker, a realist and a businessman in that office.

It seems the media is trying to make Mr Trump look bad, falling behind - they can get underhanded in their tactics also by creating flawed surveys.

judy
the media & the new's all they do is lie like hell my friends listen to the savage station
& they like him he tell it like
good luck trump

Ben Carson is probability the fall back candidate of the RINO establishment; although Carley Florina is probably one of them (just never elected), it seems certain her campaign is not going anywhere. Carson seems to be the best chance they have to sabotage the “outsider” appeal of Donald Trump.

With the fanatic drive, yes fanatic, drive of the RINOs for government assisted and protected mass migration, it is obvious that their absolute top priorities are amnesty, massive legal migrations and weak border defense. And that is why they would certainly support the amnesty peddling shyster Ben Carson to stop Trump.

It is my opinion that the “aw shucks” Mr. nice guy is far more crafty than sincere. I think he has consciously created the image of a black man version of Jimmy Stewart in Mr.Smith Goes to Washington. He constantly repeats the open borders lobby’s false statement that it is impractical to deport 11 million illegal aliens so we just have to let them stay here legally. Surely Mr. Carson must knows that is not true, yet he keeps saying it. And that is why I do not support him and will never support him. And I am certain that there are millions of voters who agree with me.

Patriots, we must send the message loud and clear to the Carson enamored Republicans-- you don’t get to shove an amnesty supporting hack on us yet again. We will walk. Amnesty is national suicide and death to all things conservative. And that is why no matter how “conservative” his image may be (remember the treachery of Marko Rubio?) we will never support him.

With all of his faults Donald Trump is “conservative enough”and he wants the illegal aliens to get the hell out.

GOP we are done; illegal aliens must leave and the nominee must say that without reservations or we walk.

Trump or bust!
