On the eve of this month’s GOP debate Trump gets knocked off the top slot in new national poll
Trump edged out for the first time in three months
Tomorrow’s a big night in the fight for the GOP nomination – the third big TV debate.
With established politicians all making heavy weather in the polls the former neuro-surgeon, Ben Carson and Donald Trump have been leading with, until today, the latter having the edge. But now we have this one from CBS/NYT.
New CBS Republican national nominee poll has Trump in 2nd place
26% – Carson
22% – Trump
8% – Rubio
7% – Bush, Fiorina (tied)— Mike Smithson (@MSmithsonPB) October 27, 2015
I find it hard envisaging a Carson victory and this probably reflects the fact that the mainstream politicians like Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio have yet to make their mark. I still rate the latter as the most likely nominee but tomorrow might change that.
