Ben Carson seems to be experiencing a yuge drop in support, as a new Fox News poll has him dropping as well. You can read that here.
In that poll, Cruz also made some gains while still being tied with Rubio at third place – are we seeing the beginning of a surge for the Crazybird Cuban Canuck?!?! Stay tuned!!!
