A new USA Today/Suffolk poll finds Donald Trump leading the GOP presidential field with 23%, followed by Ben Carson at 13%, Carly Fiorina at 13%, Marco Rubio at 9%, Jeb Bush at 8% and Ted Cruz at 6%.
John Kasich, Rand Paul and Mike Huckabee had 2% each, and Bobby Jindal, Lindsey Graham and Chris Christie had 1% each.
“The shifting landscape underscores an electorate that is fed up with politics-as-usual and willing to embrace contenders who promise to shake things up.”
