At least somebody is.

QuinnipiacWith a big boost from women, Dr. Ben Carson leads Donald Trump 28 – 20 percent among Iowa likely Republican Caucus participants, with 13 percent for Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and 10 percent for Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today...

Sen. Rand Paul is at 6 percent, with Carly Fiorina and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at 5 percent each. No other candidate tops 3 percent, with 3 percent undecided. C[/SIZE]arson tops Trump 33 – 13 percent among women. Men are divided as 25 percent back Carson and 24 percent go with Trump. Trump tops the "no way" list as 30 percent of Iowa likely Republican Caucus participants say they "would definitely not support" him for the GOP nomination. Bush is next on this "no way" list with 21 percent. ...

"Those who know Carson seem to like him. He has an almost unheard of 84 – 10 percent favorability rating among likely Republican Caucus-goers, compared to Trump’s 53 – 43 percent rating. To borrow the line from Madison Avenue, ‘Almost no one doesn’t like Ben Carson.’"

Carson cares about their needs and problems, 87 percent of Iowa likely Republican Caucus participants say, the highest mark among any GOP candidate.

....Iowa likely Republican Caucus-goers give Carson an 84 – 10 percent favorability rating, leading Rubio at 70 – 15 percent, Cruz at 65 – 18 percent and Trump at 53 – 43 percent. Bush has a negative 43 – 51 percent....
 
As crazy as this sounds, Carson does better against Hillary than Trump does. At least according to a few polls on the matter.

But no matter if it is Trump vs. Hillary, or Carson vs. Hillary my prediction is still the same. An extremely low voter turn out where Independents end up left out.
 
We really need a third party... you know things are bad when the extreme of one party wants the more extreme of the other to do well so the party they do support has a shot at some of the Independent vote.

It's just depressing to watch at this point. So much for the "United" states.
