Carly Fiorina is this week's red-hot ticket in the race for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination — but it's not clear what her long term viability is, veteran pollster John Zogby tells
Newsmax TV.

"The Koch brothers' announcement today of possible financial support, a lot of financial support, is nothing but a boost for her.
"So at least for the moment Carly is somebody to really watch. [But there's] a long way to go."
According to
NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist polls in Iowa and New Hampshire, Donald Trump remains ahead in those states' GOP primaries, although the billionaire developer's lead has shrunk.
In New Hampshire, Trump holds just a five-point advantage over Fiorina, at 21 percent to 16 percent.
In Iowa, Trump bests Dr. Ben Carson by five points, 24 percent to 19 percent, with Fiorina in third place at 8 percent.
