Here’s the latest results from a Quinnipiac National Poll released today (full pdf below). Unfortunately, yet again, even with all of their resources, the polled sample is intensely small (only 502 republicans).
At this point these large organizations, NYT/CBS (300), NBC/WSJ (400), and now Q-PAC (500), using small samples to present a national narrative – cannot reasonably be considered coincidental. These quantifying decisions deliberate; they are also sketchy and bear the familiar signatures of media ‘gaslighting’:
(Via Q-PAC) Trump gets 24 percent of Republican votes, with Carson at 23 percent, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida at 14 percent, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas at 13 percent, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at 4 percent, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds. No other candidate tops 3 percent, with 9 percent undecided, and 63 percent who might change their mind.
[…] From October 29 – November 2, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,144 registered voters nationwide with a margin of error of +/- 2.9 percentage points. Live interviewers call land lines and cell phones. The survey includes 502 Republicans with a margin of error of +/- 4.4 percentage points and 480 Democrats with a margin of error of +/- 4.5 percentage points. (read more)
There is a considerable effort within this poll to push a “Carson beats Clinton” narrative. Which, again, seems odd when the physically invisible Carson supporters appear only present on various social media.
This odd “invisible support” aspect points a curious eye toward an odd happening during the first GOP debate when all day prior to the debate Ben Carson’s facebook “likes” were increasing in exact intervals of 600/min. This strange activity went on for several hours and was tracked and noted as odd by many observers at Free Republic.
Against the backdrop of a poor debate performance, a rather curios new controversy, and essentially invisible ground supporters – and combined with ZERO activity to qualify for any ballot placements in any states, the entire Ben Carson polling construct is, well, odd.
Here’s the poll data:

… and considering the Trump -VS- Clinton matchups, you might be interested in this poll of over 1,500 which the media is ignoring – BIG TIME !!

* Donald Trump leads Ben Carson 35% to 28% in the contest to be the Republican nominee for President for 2016.
* Hillary Clinton leads Bernie Sanders 73% to 16% in the contest to be the Democratic nominee for President in 2016.
* If those two candidates are in fact the major-party nominees, Trump defeats Clinton in a general election today, 46% to 37%.
In a general election, with all party registrations participating, notice how Trump pulls equal support of women, and along with dominating all other demographics -despite the popular media meme- he pulls in 33% of Hispanics.
