{UAH} Donald Trump pans Iowa polls, says Carson 'super low-energy' - Yahoo News

MIAMI (AP) — Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump dismissed polls that show him trailing Dr. Ben Carson in Iowa, calling the retired neurosurgeon "super low-energy" before a boisterous crowd in Miami on Friday night.

The Iowa polls are a rare setback for the billionaire businessman's campaign. He's leading polls nationally and in other early primary states.

Mimicking a television journalist reporting the breaking news of Trump slipping behind Carson, Trump ridiculed his GOP rival.

"We informed Ben, but he was sleeping," Trump joked. The crowd roared.

He also said the polls in Iowa "are wrong" and said most pollsters "don't like me at all."

Trump, who will also appear at a rally in Jacksonville Saturday, maintained his usual swagger, boasting about his poll numbers in other states — especially in Florida, where he is ahead of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio.

Trump spoke not far from Bush's sprawling Miami headquarters the same day Bush's campaign said that it would be drastically slashing campaign spending, including an across-the-board pay cut for staff, and focusing more narrowly on early states.

In Florida polls, Trump remains far ahead of Bush, the state's former two-term governor, and Rubio, the state's junior senator since 2011.
