However Trump has also been under scrutiny for his combative comments, such as a recent tweet about George W. Bush and 9/11, which forced candidate Jeb Bush to defend his brother’s actions in the wake of the attacks.
Ten Republican presidential candidates will take part in Wednesday’s debate.
Last week, a Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics poll showed Trump now trailing Carson by 9 percentage points in Iowa.

Hess adds, “Trump is actually pretty populist overall …”
The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll shows the two front-runners in a dead heat. “Sure, Trump has billionaire friends, but there are certain restrictions a president has”. Carson recently surged past Trump to take the lead in the early-voting state of Iowa.
