Trump dominates GOP field heading into 2016
- 8 years ago
Donald Trump seems set to end 2015 as the dominant force in the race for next year's Republican nomination for president, with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz now a clear - yet distant - second after a strong debate performance, a new CNN/ORC poll released on Wednesday has found.
Trump has been a constant atop the polls since his ascent to the lead in July, and this new poll marks the first time Cruz stands significantly apart from the other candidates vying for the nomination.
A Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday found a tighter race between Trump and Cruz, a finding that clashes with most other recent polling on the national race.
Trump's standing in the race for the nomination is bolstered by widely held trust that he can best handle the top issues facing the nation.
And Republicans are coming around to the idea that the Republican Party has its best shot at winning the presidency by nominating the New York real estate mogul.
