Did Fiorina's lies about Planned Parenthood finally catch up with her?

Here are the most recent Republican polls:

http://www.270towin.com/2016-republican-nomination/

Fiorina has gone from a peak of 13% at the end of September, and an average of 11% or so before that, to 5% in the latest poll. She's still hanging on to 6th place, but in the latest poll that's an equal 6th with the obvious-though-offensive joke that is Huckabee.

I think her publicity in the past couple of weeks has basically been "she's hanging on to the clear falsehood". Can it be that even Republican voters can't stomach such a simple denial of reality?

Republican voters are seeing the light and acknowledging the disastrous policies of the current Republican party, The MSM is being seen as the propaganda machine it is, They are waking from the delusions that have been foisted upon them by Corporations and the Politicians they own, I can only hope that it is a growing number.

her resume in business. Trump said: "no other corporation has hired Carly in the decade since she was fired" by HP 10 years ago. If she is so good, why doesn't she have a CEO job today, instead of living off the golden parachute she got to bail out of HP? He has focused like a laser on the weaknesses of his fellow contenders, and they have been too timid to do likewise to him. He has put a "chimp" face on JEB, making the two brothers indistinguishable.

of one of her faithful and of course that fact that she's a first rate liar and loser.
