Thanks in large part to female support, Ben Carson has taken an eight-point lead over Donald Trump in Iowa, home of the first caucus, according to a Quinnipiac poll released on Thursday.
Carson is at 28 percent, and Trump is at 20 percent. A month ago, a Q poll had Trump at 27 percent, and Carson at 21 percent.
Marco Rubio is third in the new survey with 13 percent. That’s an eight-point increase for him since September. Ted Cruz is next with 10 percent.
Next up is Rand Paul at 6 percent. Then comes Carly Fiorina and Jeb Bush tied for sixth place at 5 percent. No other candidate tops 3 percent.
A deeper look at the cross-tabs indicates that it’s female voters who are giving Carson a boost in this poll: The retired pediatric neurosurgeon is leading Trump 33 to 13 percent among women. Among men, Carson leads Trump, 25 to 24 percent.
“It’s Ben Carson’s turn in the spotlight,” said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. “Today’s results show his appeal is especially strong among the state’s sizeable white, evangelical Christian community, among whom Carson is receiving 36 percent, twice Trump’s 17 percent.”
The poll of 574 likely Iowa Republican caucus-goers took place Oct. 14 to Oct. 20 via land lines and cellphones. The margin of error is plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.

There will be no relieve for Donald Trump when the dirty ads begin appearing. The GOP establishment said in no uncertain words they were declaring war. Anybody who has any credence of what the hierarchy establishment or the democratic radicals say is destined to crap on new future of our great country. The parties will do anything–ANYTHING to keep their cheap labor, massive profits and Liberal ripping off other peoples money and a range of extreme Socialist issues. The mainstream Liberal press are on any negative Trump issue, like flies on putrid meat.
An uproar has ignited about the embarrassing city of San Francisco, where Americans are no longer safe on the streets after the showing that the publicized death of a innocent citizen shot dead on the openly abhorrent ‘Sanctuary City’. The metropolis were one councilor stated in no certain terms, that the killing was accidental of Katherine Steinle. The SF Board of Supervisors collectively passed a resolution that encourages the sheriff Department not to alert U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement officials when an illegal immigrant is released from jail, despite the ICE requesting notification in such situations. Supervisor Malia Cohen, a real jerk, vehemently dispute in the chambers before the vote: “We cannot allow one event to dictate 25 years of our city’s policies towards undocumented immigrants in our city.” A young women just 32 years old, who on a visiting to pier 14 with her father, ended up in pool of blood at the hands of illegal alien on July 1.
ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE DETRIMENTAL TO EVERY AMERICAN MAN, WOMEN AND EVEN CHILDREN, BECAUSE THEY TAKE FROM HONEST PEOPLE OUR SOVEREIGNTY, OUR VOTES, OUR ENTITLEMENTS AND EVEN OUR RIGHTS.
These SF Supervisors are going to find out the consequences when Donald Trump becomes President; their should be no forgiveness for not following federal law. It’s paramount we need unprejudiced legal teams to assure the voting public that non citizens are committing voter fraud in every national precinct, as this will be the most important election–EVER. Those who are setting themselves up for voting in Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton (obviously a risk to our National Security), need to understand the huge yoke around the neck of taxpayers in such countries as Sweden, where its not comfortable Shangri-La, where moderate socialism is the name of the game? Joe Biden who has dropped out of the race was a good, honest man who has always been willing to compromise with their opponents on the other side.
San Francisco is one of the growing number “sanctuary cities” throughout the United States. These havens as illustrated as jurisdictions which provide a Sanctuary for illegal aliens–not undocumented immigrants–not immigrants, ILLEGAL ALIENS! The law as its written is a violation of Title 8 Section 1324 United States Code “aiding, abetting, encouraging, harboring, transporting, and hiring illegal aliens is a felony.” By illegal ordinances or by fabricated policies. Local governments arrogantly decline any cooperation with Federal (ICE) Immigration and Customs Enforcement authorities.
A bill, called ‘Stop Sanctuary Policies and Protect Americans Act needed to overcome a 60-vote threshold. It would withhold certain federal funding from states or cities that refuse to comply with requests from federal immigration officials to turn over immigrants who are in the country illegally.
Overall sanctuary policies differ, but in broad provisos illegal aliens have admission to the matching services and the safeguard as citizens and permanent (green Card) residents, such as emergency services, health care, education, food banks, emergency shelters and even food stamps with children who can claim in California $600 each. The sheltering mainly in big cities even are now issuing drivers licenses. other ID cards to such persons. In the Liberalized state of California, the brain-dead Governor Jerry Brown has implemented giving drivers licenses to illegal aliens, has also passed out Voter Motor applications, that shows that the left are intentionally pressing illegal aliens to vote. additionally this is not only illegal, but a felony as cited in Title 18 Section 611 US Code prohibits non citizens from voting in our elections. But this is completely ignored by the left.
I am praying that Donald Trump is our next President. A man who shown love to all Americans, but draws the line of foreign thieves, stealing our voting rights, jobs and welfare services, as we need our immigration laws to be enforced, which the Obama administration has ignored and in enforcing the border, where Trump will build a wall. A trump wall that limits illegal aliens en mass reaching the other side as patrolled by the enhanced US Border Patrol and unmanned drones with an all seeing eye. A further innovation MANDATORY E-VERIFY that will be an intense method to control the workplace; a system that will audit nationwide workers, to see what business owners are illegally using foreign labor. It is my suggestion that a reward should go to whistle blowers who are aware of companies that are breaking the law. Hefty fines and even time in jail will be a worthy deterrent, for those who believe they cannot be touched.
With the uncertain amendment to Birthright Citizenship (anchor Babies) to gain citizenship by an pregnant Mother through slipping into our sovereign nation and then adding the heavy burden of taxpayers covering hospital fees, welfare service and then bring in other members of the family through chain migration.
Senior Citizens Cola recipients are have been short changed next year, as to the party elites thinks illegal aliens on welfare and their offspring is more important than our old people, who kept Social Security system working through the years they were employed, but the foreigner who jumped the fence, lied at ports of entry including airports arrivals have paid–NOTHING, not even a cent.
Sen. David Vitter, R-La., introduced the legislation just yesterday, which American voters found out that the Democratic Senate blocked this ‘Sanctuary City’ law, and specifically ‘Kate’s Law’ With Senate Democrats refusing to introduce serious legislation that would punish “sanctuary cities” in a losing 54-45 vote on Tuesday afternoon. that would end this nauseating plague of the Obama’s Administration refusing to enforce our immigration laws. Read about the outcome of Democrats who voted against this law at http://dailysignal.com/ 2015/10/20/sanctuary-cities-bill-blocked-in-senate. This includes releasing before any warning criminal aliens back into society by the thousands.
Barack Obama has been instrumental in the death of Katherine Steinle and radical politicians, city mayors, managers and elected officials by completely circumventing immigration laws. Crimes committed by illegal immigrants is at the heart of the current debate over sanctuary cities. Katherine Steinle’s confessed murderer Francisco Sanchez, had an long rap sheet, counting drugs, together being deported five times.

Trump and Carson are now neck and neck in the polls.They’ve been going head to head and toe to toe for a while, swinging from side to side and not seeing eye to eye and having the Democrats grinning from ear to ear. Still, they are doing better than Bush who needs mouth to mouth resuscitation. His mum and dad need to sit him down from time to time and give him a heart to heart talk about quitting!
