Just a day after a national poll showed Ben Carson leading Donald Trump in the Republican presidential contest, a new survey puts the billionaire developer 14 points ahead of the retired pediatric neurosurgeon.
The results of the
Economist/YouGov Poll released Wednesday are:
- Trump: 32 percent.
- Carson: 18 percent.
- Marco Rubio: 11 percent.
- Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz: 8 percent.
- John Kasich and Rand Paul: 4 percent.
- Carly Fiorina: 3 percent.
- Chris Christie and Mike Huckabee: 2 percent.
- Lindsey Graham and Bobby Jindal: 1 percent.
- Rick Santorum: 0.5 percent.
The Economist/YouGov results differed sharply with the results of
a CBS/New York Times poll showing Carson over Trump, 26-22 percent.
In the Economist/YouGov survey, 2,000 adults were questioned between Friday and Tuesday. The margin of error is 3 percent.
