Could Carson overtake Donald Trump? That's a great poll for him. Somehow, I'm a little relieved, because I don't think Carson is vengeful and petty like Trump is.

Wow the GOP establishment has never been weaker.

Also Cruz tied with Walker, loooooooool.

Looks as if we are getting a reasonable Pub candidate for once, rather than an old establishment drone.

The Republican Party has been driving toward a cliff for a long time, and now the car is officially off the cliff. Good work guys.

Trump vs. Carson for the nomination = GOP establishment suicide.

Nah, Carson isn't a creature of the Establishment, but he's not against the Establishment. They could settle for him.

The GOP establishment may prefer Trump over Cruz. They HAAAAATE Cruz.

Nah, Carson isn't a creature of the Establishment, but he's not against the Establishment. They could settle for him.

Plus, Carson seems to be well-liked by a lot of people, as evidenced by his high GE polling numbers.

My moderate Republican father was deeply impressed with Carson during the debate, I remember.  With some coaching to make him a bit more polished on foreign policy and domestic issues, he could become a real candidate.

This poll is just confirming what I've been seeing, Jeb! has moved into 3rd nationally while Carson is sneaking up in the polls, I mean it's good for him if he's within striking distance of Trump in Iowa now.

I've really warmed up to Cruz and Carson.  I don't think they would be bad nominees at all.

For me, it's between Walker, Rubio, Cruz, Carson, and Fiorina at this point (excluding candidates with little traction).

Yep, and Jeb+Kasich+Rubio=16%, just less than a third of those guys.

RIP Republican establishment?

To be fair, the Republican Party has been pathetic for many years. It's fun to see what they deserve finally happen to them.

Completely agree. This is a very fun election cycle, although I think the next 4 years might be much less fun.
