Donald Trump led in the polls for around 100 days and now Dr. Ben Carson has taken the lead. A lot of things cam happen in the next 3 months, but right now this looks like a two horse race between the two.
Once the republicans get down to 2 or 3 candidates, this will tighten up, and the fracture in the party will become more evident IMO.

In November of 2007, Rudy Giuliani was at 33%. McCain at 16% had just passed Fred Thompson who was on his way down after having been running in second place in the 20s in September and October polls. I'm still putting my money on Rubio.
Everyone knew that Giuliani's (by comparison) liberal positions would catch up to him and they did. Carson and Trump do not have that problem - they, more than the other candidates, are telling voters what they want to hear on issues held dear like immigration, taxes, abortion etc. We are talking about more than 50% of the party supporting one of these two outsider candidates.
Terrible effort, even you can do better that that. Trump is and always has been more Liberal than Conservative. Only thing Trump has going for him are sound bites, he says things many people wish they could say, but afraid to. The press, Fox debate mods, and main stream have tried to take Trump down and failed, that is what most people like about him.
Trump winning the presidency would be awesome. Nothing says farce like a former reality star becoming the leader of the free world. I hope he chooses Flava Flav, Bret Michaels, or Catelyn Jenner as his running mate.
No way Bevin wins. Half the republicans I know we're either not voting, or voting for Curtis. He is just a bad candidate.
That's the thing with Republicans, if they have a bad candidate, they won't vote for him or her, Democrats have never met a bad candidate.

Where was the unbiased questions for him when he was running. He has been thrown softball questions his entire presidency. What a clown.
When will we ever have a viable 3rd party candidate with real good ideas that draw from both sides of the fence and who can actually challenge and win an election? Instead it just seems like every 3rd party guy is like a kid running for class president "DOOBIES FOR EVERYBODY AND FREE SNACKS IN ALL VENDING MACHINES!!!"
There are some weird results. How is Edelen losing right now? The SC vote in eastern Kentucky also surprises me a little bit.
So Conway messes all over himself and potentially takes Edelen down with him (while the SOS and Attorney General races are closer than anyone ever imagined).
Amazing and further proof that pre-election polls are garbage in this state.
Dems should be ashamed they've lost out to a gubernatorial candidate that even Republicans openly and actively dislike.

Says more about how sick people are of Dems in general. They're about as radical as they come and the association with them is why you're seeing this.
All moderates in that party have been replaced.
Hey Rob -- how long before you realize you suck at all things politics?
Do yourself a favor and stick to Section 8 housing projects or whatever.
Thx.
Conway may go down as the worst Democrat governor candidate in state history. Which is saying something. Peppy Martin would have had a legit shot at him from the looks of things.
Bruce Jenner was an Olympic athlete. What is he most known for now? Same goes for Trump. #you'refired
Strange that a Republican from Prospect doesn't have a good read on the rest of a heavily rural state.
It's gonna be REALLY interesting to see whether the national party has Bevin experiment with how to reverse Medicaid expansions and even exchanges.
Bevin might try to do it regardless, but Kentucky might become a "proof of concept", so to speak.

The Ball/Nelson race was pretty cool. Both concentrated on what they could do versus tearing the other down. Good to see.
Regardless of how the rest of the results turn out, just be thankful that the Ag Commish went to Quarles and not that crook Lawson Spann. She would have run that into the ground, literally and figuratively.

I wouldn't call Conway a radical. I wouldn't have called him a good candidate either, though. Still, this is shocking.
I would have bet that Edelen would have won by 20%.
Whoever wrote that the Republicans nominated the only guy who couldn't win needs a keyboard timeout. Conway is the consummate career politician whose negative ads were trite and boring. Time for a new gig. Lol
I don't know kyfan, I think Trump has convinced a lot of people he is conservative enough. Rudy tried to run as pro-choice and a gun control supporter among his positions. Plus he had a mistress, and when voters put it all together they bailed.
