The Case for Ben Carson Grows | Diary of a Mad Voter

The Case for Ben Carson Grows | Diary of a Mad Voter:

Image result for ben carsonEarly as it is, recent polls are beginning to tell us something about the 2016 presidential election.
For one thing, it is becoming increasingly unlikely that Jeb Bush will be the Republican nominee.  Not only is he a weak fifth (at 7%) in the just released NBC/WSJ poll, Republicans, as of now anyway,  just don’t like him. In a new Fox News poll, he has a net favorability rating (like/dislike) among GOP voters of a measly one percent.
For comparison, favorability ratings for Trump are +12,  Cruz +21,  Fiorina +30, Rubio +35, and Carson an unprecedented +52.  Almost everybody likes him. (I thought Republicans were supposed to be bigots.) Carson is also creeping up behind Trump over all, only one point behind in the aforementioned NBC/WSJ poll, 21-20.  (Fiorina and Rubio are tied for third at 11.)
