ASHE SCHOW: Carly Fiorina is moving the crowds, but not the polls.

It seems that everywhere former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina goes, the crowds go wild.

Two weeks ago, the 2016 presidential candidate was in Iowa to speak at the state GOP’s Lincoln Dinner. She wasn’t the only 2016 candidate who spoke, but she was the only one for whom, when her mic was cut off after her 10 minutes of allotted speaking time were up, the crowd was noticeably upset.

“She was like a fireball,” dinner guest Tanya Manatt, told the Des Moines Register. “She had a lot of energy, and she’s not intimidated.”

“She left us wanting more,” said another.

“She was very confident, probably one of the strongest speakers,” guest Rick Haas told Politico.

Philip Rucker of the Washington Post said on Twitter that Fiorina received the “loudest applause of the night.”

A similar story unfolded at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference last week. Republican Chase Condrey tweeted about Fiorina: “just watched the SRLC and you have definitely sparked my interest in your candidacy. The Young GOP wants leaders like you.”

Another attendee, Richard Morgan, said Fiorina had the “best speech” of the conference. Fiorina ended her speech to a standing ovation, according to numerous other conference-goers.

Fiorina is also gaining fans from her clever media appearances, where she trolls her hosts and takes on tough questions with poise.

But despite wowing crowds and television viewers over the past month, Fiorina’s poll numbers aren’t budging.

I like her. She fights.
