For the first time since Ben Carson announced that he will be contesting for American Presidency on the Republican Party ticket, the Neurosurgeon has been voted more popular than mogul Donald Trump.
Though Trump and Carson are tied at 23 percent, the former’s popularity is deteriorating alarmingly due to his negative remarks he regularly makes in public.
The research which was conducted by Monmouth University revealed the following results for other candidates:
Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, at 10%; Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, at 9%; Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, at 7%; former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, at 5%; Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, each at 4%; Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, at 3%; and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, at 2%.
In the previous poll result, Trump was leading with 22 percent, 8 percent more than what Carson scored in the poll.
If Carson wins the Republican Party ticket his chances of becoming the second black President of the United States of America after Barack Obama will significantly increase. More interesting is that he’s publicly stated that he is a Kenyan from Turkana.
