Excellent news for Rand! His average is now a solid 3%.

 

[squirl22]

yes, good news.

 

[SilentBull]

This means even if the next two polls have him at 1% and 2%, he will still be in the debate. It's very unlikely he will be left out now.

 

[SilentBull]

Also, check out Fiorina. The media couldn't hold her up.

Any body care to do the math on the standings per the debate criteria? Would be nice if Rand's the on the absolute end of the stage.

Good news, I'm hoping he holds this position so he doesn't have any weaker showings than this in the next couple polls. If he can stay ahead of Kasich and Christie, and maybe even creep up on Bush and Fiorina a bit more, we'll be in good shape for podium positioning in the next debate.

I'm amazed not only at how poorly Fiorina is polling despite all the media support, but also how perpetually bad Bush's numbers have remained. That may change once Trump and Carson start tanking, but Bush is in far worse of a position now than Romney was in 2012, in fact he's getting close to McCain territory circa 2008. We need to keep our eyes out for a sudden surge of support for him, but his public appearances and debate performances have been terrible, and it is reflecting in his current numbers.

Lindsey still fails to qualify for the kiddie debate. How sweet would that be if he's left out of that one? Is that guy even campaigning or does he just want his name on the ballot?

Was about to post this actually. Pretty big deal!

 

[georgiaboy]

Moving up!
McDonald's numbers headed down.
People are starting to actually pay attention.

Christie 3.6
Kasich 3.6
Huckabee 3.2
Paul 3.0

Rand is last for the moment. He could easily surpass Huckabee with another good showing before the 21st.

This was interesting:

As always..."It's the economy, stupid." He needs to hammer down on his tax plan and what it would do for the average Joe.

Maybe cutting spending. I feel like no one has touched on that recently.

I want him to advocate it as passionately as he did medical marijuana at the previous debate.

 

[Crashland]

I don't like Cruz almost breaking double digits.

 

[liberty_nc]

This is the do or die debate, it is on the economy, so Rand really needs to push his tax plan (especially the $50k tax exemption and the millions of jobs it will create)

 

[Millennial Conservatarian]

If the polls say 4% he is realistically sitting at about 8-9% when the landline factor is removed

 

[Liberty74]

What was the break down of party affiliation and how many voters?

Carly got a month of the media pushing her and only at 6%? Ha

She comes off as Cruella Deville. Nobody likes this bitch. There is nothing the media could possibly do to make her likable.
