Carson Is a Strong Frontrunner

First Read: “Not only is Carson leading the Republican horserace with the highest percentage yet in our poll (29%), he also hits 50% when you combine GOP voters’ first and second choices — the only Republican presidential candidate to do that. Then take the fact that he’s raising the most money in the Republican race (his campaign reported raising $10 million in October alone, putting it on pace to raise $30 million for the quarter). And then add in that he gets the most social-media interaction when it comes to Facebook.”

“Anyone who wants to dismiss Carson as Herman Cain or Michele Bachmann is making a big mistake.”
