Carson on Poll Numbers: ‘We Don’t Need Rhetoric, We Need Real Answers’

‘We don’t need personalities, we need real answers’

LEMON: "OK. And listen, let's talk about the polls that we just discussed. CNN's new poll. You are now tied with Marco Rubio for third place behind Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. You are down four points since the last CNN poll in November. You have lost some ground. What is your reaction to that?" 
CARSON: "Polls go up and down. And I suspect there probably a fair amount of movement, particularly into that last few weeks before the Iowa caucus. But you know, you have to be steady. You have to keep on message. And help people to recognize that, you know, our nation needs real answers. We don't need, you know, rhetoric. We don't need personalities, we need real answers. And as we get closer, I hope people will listen very carefully not only to me but to all the candidates. Really listen to the substance of what's being said."
