Getting desperate eh? I feel ya...I am already tired of the campaigning.Dear Trumpaholics: The polls four years ago this month...Uh Oh!!!
Four years ago this month...smart money was on Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who was leading eventual nominee Mitt Romney 30 percent to 18 percent in the CNN/ORC poll; 31-24 in USA Today/Gallup; 23-16 in CBS News; and 30-22 in McClatchy/Marist.
And this was still before the boomlet of support for businessman Herman Cain, who briefly shot to the top of the GOP polls in October 2011.
In this context, Trump's current 30 percent to 16 percent lead over Carson in the RealClearPolitics average of recent national polls doesn't look particularly conclusive.
History puts a damper on poll numbers
