Trump widens GOP lead in new CNN Poll
All other candidates now have the support of less than 5% of the Republican electorate, that including former Florida Governor Jeb Bush. Ben Carson, however, has slipped from number two and appears to be headed toward an early demise. According to the poll, Ted Cruz stands at 16%, former neurosurgeon Ben Carson at 14% and Florida Sen.

But the new poll finds the businessman with both his broadest support and his widest lead in any national live-interviewer telephone poll since he announced his candidacy in June. Also, no one has ever gotten this far out in front of a field so large (the GOP primary began with no less than 17 candidates seeking the nomination). He also enjoys massive margins over his rivals as the candidate trusted most for handling the economy (Trump 55% is 46 points above his nearest competitor), the federal budget (51% which is up 41 points) illegal immigration ( 48% which is up 34 points) ISIS (46%, up 31 points) and foreign policy ( 30%, up 13 points).
Numerous other polls recently have also shown Trump as reclaiming a healthy lead on top of the GOP field after having been at par with Carson for several weeks.
-CBS’s Face the Nation: Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump and Chris Christie; Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. Rand Paul from Kentucky ( -4 points to 1%) have seen the most losses. Sixty percent of voters who reported US economy as an “extremely important” issue in their decision to cast a vote now support Trump.
Right behind Trump is a cluster of three candidates with Texas Sen.
More generally, about 4 in 10 Republicans say Trump is the candidate who would be most effective at solving the country’s problems and could best handle the responsibilities of being commander-in-chief.
Meanwhile, a whopping 47 percent of all GOP voters think the government should move on a plan advocated by Trump to deport some 11 million immigrants.
Even more say such a mass deportation wouldn’t be possible (81 percent).
