Race Gets More Heat, Rubio Won Third GOP Presidential Debate

By Shane De La Cruz

While the heat is on, people are anticipating the stands of the Republican's presidential nominee for 2016 in the GOP presidential debates.

After the third debate that lasted for more than two hours, CNN recently released the "Winners and Losers" of the said CNBC-hosted event. The news site reported that Marco Rubio, the young senator from Florida, led amongst the other Republican presidential nominees as he hit the Republican establishment, Democrats and the media. Rubio had it strong when he said ""I'm not running against Governor Bush, I'm not running against anyone on this stage. I'm running for president," as his response to Jeb Bush's remarks about his poor voting attendance record, reported CNN. Another presidential, Ted Cruz, gained applauses and cheers from the crowd as he equally criticized the kinds of questions being thrown at them by the media, during the said debate, concluded Syracuse.com news site.

In the recent poll reported by CBS News, October 27, Ben Carson is now leading the Republican presidential candidacy race. This is after twenty six percent of Republican primary voters backed Carson giving him a four point advantage over Donald Trump, who got twenty two percent. This is a reversal from last CBS/New York Times poll, which placed Trump above Carson with Trump's twenty seven percent over Carson's twenty three percent, reported CNN News. Trump and Carson has been running head-to-head since the start of the GOP presidential nomination period. As the CNN News further reported, CBS/New York Times pollsters indicates that Carson got more of his support from evangelicals and women while Donald Trump did so much better with the moderate Republicans and non-degree holder voters. Majority of the pollsters however showed that Trump is still on the lead, as reported in the Huffington Post.

The polls are still running and there could still be possibility for some presidential nominees to catch up, however as the report from CNN goes, no other candidate has ever gained a two-digit support percentage aside from Trump and Carson. Since the difference between Trump and Carson is well within the poll's margin of error, there is still a big possibility of the results being different then, NY Times reported.

During the GOP debates period, NY Times did a survey on the Republican voters and majority of the Republicans described themselves as Divided. Many also believe that the US political system is not working because of all the fighting and gridlock. However, many are still hopeful when they think about the future of the Republican Party.
