It is a person....kind of....
The new PPP poll revealed independent candidate Deez Nuts is polling at 9 percent in the Tar Heel state. The name is from a legal document to register as a candidate. Running as an independent from Wallingford, Iowa; population 197, Deez Nuts has gone viral and has a large fan base.
The Daily Beast claimed in a post Wednesday night to have tracked Mr. Nuts down, and reported he's actually a 15-year-old named Brady Olson.
A spokesperson for the Federal Election Commission told ABC11 that the person had met the requirements to be listed as running, but the person's real name was not included.

The PPP poll done in July showed Trump leading the Republican field at 16 percent. The newest survey of N.C. shows Trump has risen steeply to 24 percent, while all others are lagging behind. Ben Carson is Trump's biggest competition right now in North Carolina, polling at 14 percent.
According to PPP, Trump leads the GOP with moderates, 'somewhat conservative voters,' 'very conservative voters,' men, women, middle-aged voters, younger voters, and seniors.
See full poll results here.
Jeb Bush is polling at 13 percent, Ted Cruz at ten percent, Marco Rubio at nine percent, and six percent each for Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, and Scott Walker.
The survey shows Hillary Clinton is still leading with Democrats in North Carolina at 55 percent. Bernie Sanders is trailing Clinton with 19 percent.
Public Policy Polling surveyed 957 voters from Aug. 12 to Aug. 16, including 477 Democratic primary voters and 406 Republican primary voters. The margin of error for the overall survey is +/-3.2 percent.
PPP has been conducting polls since 2001 and claims to be one of the most accurate.

I'm pretty sure "deez nuts" is something other than this candidate. I've been hearing it for the last three or four months

It's really means "these nuts"
You slip it into conversation or song lyrics.
My son was saying it all the time but I think the guy who "invented" is this guy who sits on the couch in need of some orthodontic work!!!
"What came in the mail today?"
He would say "deez nuts" and then laugh hysterically!
I do think it's funny and kinda stupid!

If you spend any time with twelve year olds, "Deez Nutz" is something you hear all the time. My kids thought the poll story was hilarious.

I just asked one of the kids and they said that it started out on YouTube as a crank phone call video. Now, it's just like my nuts.
Look at deez nuts. = Look at my nuts.

Additionally its funny to trap someone into asking you who someone is.
Example:
You know who thinks these types of silly jokes are funny, right?
Who?
Deez Nuts!
So you can see now why its funny that someone (that isn't really even a person) is trending higher than Hilary Clinton on Google as a presidential candidate. Or maybe funny isn't the right word....

Deez Nuts has definitely made a comeback. My guy friends would say that a lot in high school (in the 80s). It's right up there with Dem Titties.

Tell me about it...as a French teacher I dread the day that we do numbers. Dix-neuf always sends them off into fits of laughter. So this year, I just admitted defeat and had them practice it over and over until they could say it without laughing uncontrollably.

It's some 15 year old farm boy from Iowa. I just saw a story pop up on my Facebook feed a hour ago from GMA
