Once again the pundits and experts betray an embarassing inability to understand the American public. Very sad.

What does the results of a poll have to do with what "pundits or experts" think?  Or are you saying the poll results show voters are not in sync with the pundits and experts? The poll results seem to me to suggest that the voters get it when it comes to the perceived strengths and weaknesses of candidates.

Certainly no polls had replicated the +18 point of Trump over Carson.
This make me question the Morning Consult polls for the states.  But, their NH and SC kinda similar to other polls.  I will wait for more polls in IA to see if Carson fell that much.  The NV poll also believable.

So many folks have been saying "oh after the terrorist attacks voters are going to switch to a serious establishment politician", some have been stupid/ignorant enough to argue that Trump would not do well in a foreign policy focused campaign. All the stories in the past week only HELP him, no one cares about experience or listing off the names of random foreign people... it's all about demeanor, personality. Is this guy tough? Is this guy strong? And if those are the questions, then Trump wins.

Looks like you don't like the results
But polls that show Trump far ahead are "GREAT POLLS!!11!!! THE DONALD WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! WHAT A GREAT POLL!!111!!!"

Rude. I think you are misreading Lief's comment - he's saying that the pundits have continually expected a Trump collapse, but this poll and others show that Trump continues to lead.

I think pundits (and frankly, everyone) have been consistently wrong on reading Trump's performance. We are closer to Iowa, so thankfully most speculation will soon diminish.

[A Perez]

Next time don't simply type "Nat".
Type "R-Nat"  or "National Republican" or "National GOP". Etc.

Or don't type anything, and people will still know what it's about.

Considering this and PPP, I'm wondering what Jeb's floor is going to eventually be.

fav/unfav % among Republicans:

Rubio 67/17% for +50%
Carson 67/21% for +46%
Cruz 57/22% for +35%
Fiorina 54/26% for +28%
Christie 53/35% for +18%
Trump 55/42% for +13%
Bush 47/41% for +6%
Paul 38/39% for -1%
Kasich 29/34% for -5%

Despite all the negative media attention Carson has been getting, he still appears to be rather popular among GOP primary voters.  Though his unfavorable # has gone from 10% in September to 21% now.  But that hardly seems like the end of the world for him.

Many Rpublicans like Carson, but doubt his abilty to be potUs

[Why]

Bloomberg has tended to be at the lower end of spectrum for support of Trump, I would expect other polls to show him a bit higher.
