Washington (CNN) - For the first time in months, a national poll shows Donald Trump is not leading the Republican 2016 primary race, and instead has Ben Carson in first place.

Carson won the support of 26% of Republican primary voters, compared to 22% who are backing Trump, according to CBS News/New York Times. Though within the poll's margin of error, it marks the first time since the billionaire businessman's dominant rise over the summer where he has been bumped from the top spot nationally.

The new numbers also represent a reversal from the last CBS/New York Times poll, taken more than a month ago, which saw Trump leading Carson 27%-23%.

He's just as ****ing scary, if not more. It terrifies me that conservatives consider these two their most ideal

He honestly scares me more than Trump. Trump seems to be all talk to get media attention but this guy's opinions are really deluded and backwards. He's a threat to this country.

thats sad

When your top two candidates have zero political experience you have to come to the conclusion that your political party has essentially died.

I totally agree with you here. Just when you think our country has made some great progress, radical lunatics like Carson get tons of support. Donald seems to be more of a troll, saying what he thinks people want to hear, but Carson appears to be deeply grounded and passionate about the backwards things he says.

Totally agree.

Don't get me wrong, Trump is an absolute moron, but when he's not making an ass of himself or hurling insults at people, he sometimes makes sense. I've never seen that from Carson, and Carson's demeanor and overall views of the world are seriously warped and inaccurate. 

We need Bernie or Hillary. :( Or if we must have a Republican, then Fiorina.

Hes more intelligent and realistic than Trump but hes WAY too Conservative. Even in economic policies which I tend to support Republicans on hes too right-winged even for me

 

If either Trump or Carson get nomination then i guess Ill root for Hilary Clinton. Id still prefer Carly Fiorina tho  

[RAMROD 117,125]

Isn't he really bad too though?

That is like escape from lion's den but fell into a swamp full of crocodilles.

Damn, what is this, Indiana Jones??

this! 

 

I like Ciorina the most

 

usually im pro-republican because of economy matters but the candidates this time suck (with exeption of Carly Fiorina). 

 

I never thought id say this but unless Carly wins, any other Candidate would result in me rooting for Hilary  

 

although i prefer economic policies from republicans which for me is always biggest factor (Carson is too extreme right-winged for me tho), other stuff still has some weight factor in my views and most of these candidates are just far too extreme in their views  

 

Carson once suggested prison s-x is proof homos-xuality is a pure choice. You can disagree with homos-xuality thats fine with me. But saying something like that shows ignorance

isn't ben the guy who compared abortion to slavery
