GOP presidential primary front-runner Donald Trump is pulling away from his rivals —leading the field with 38 percent support, a new national poll finds.
According to the
Washington Post/ABC News survey released Tuesday, Trump's support among registered Republicans and GOP-leaning independents is now 6 points higher than in October and November.
The poll also shows Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in second place with 15 percent — doubling his support since last month.
Here's the breakdown:
- Trump: 38 percent
- Cruz: 15 percent
- Florida Sen. Marco Rubio: 12 percent
- Retired neurosurgeon, Dr. Ben Carson: 12 percent
- Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush: 5 percent
- New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie: 4 percent
- Ohio Gov. John Kasich: 2 percent
- Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul: 2 percent
- Former business executive, Carly Fiorina: 1 percent
- South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham: 1 percent
- Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee: 1 percent
The poll's margin of error is plus or minus 6 percentage points in the sample of Republican and Republican-leaning voters.
Trump's dominating lead also was recorded in a
Monmouth University poll released Monday, which gave the real estate billionaire 41 percent support nationally.
