A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds 71% of Republican voters have a positive view of Ben Carson, followed by Donald Trump at 69%, Marco Rubio at 58%, Jeb Bush at 56% and Ted Cruz at 53%.
“What distinguishes Carson from his opponents is how intensely Republicans like him — 39 percent report a ‘strongly’ favorable view of Carson, 13 points higher than for Trump (26 percent) and more than twice as many with strongly positive views of Rubio (19), Cruz (18) or Bush (12).”
