A new Economist/YouGov poll finds Donald Trump leading the GOP presidential race with 36%, followed by Ben Carson at 11%, Jeb Bush at 8%, Marco Rubio at 7%, Ted Cruz at 6%, Rand Paul at 4%, Mike Huckabee at 4% and John Kasich at 4%.
“Republicans are warming to Trump. Two out of three have a favorable view of him. Carson and Rubio match Trump’s favorable levels, though nearly twice as many have unfavorable views of Trump as hold that view about the other two.”
