Donald Trump is once again alone at the top of the Republican field, according to the latest CNN/ORC Poll,
with 36% of registered Republicans and Republican-leaning independents
behind him, while his
nearest competitor trails by 20 points.
Three
candidates cluster behind Trump in the mid-teens, including Texas Sen.
Ted Cruz at 16%, former neurosurgeon Ben Carson at 14% and Florida Sen.
Marco Rubio at 12%. All other candidates have the support of less than
5% of GOP voters in the race for the Republican Party's nomination for
president.
Carson (down 8 points since
October), former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (down 5 points to 3%) and
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul (down 4 points to 1%) have lost the most ground
since the last CNN/ORC poll, conducted in mid-October.
Cruz
(up 12 points) and Trump (up 9 points) are the greatest beneficiaries
of those declines. Rubio is also up slightly, gaining 4 points -- an
increase within the poll's margin of sampling error -- since the last
CNN/ORC poll
