Jeb Bush maintains his position in first place with 15 percent support, up from 12 percent three weeks ago, according to a Fox News national poll released today. But Donald Trump has climbed into second place with 11 percent support — nearly triple his total from Fox’s previous poll, when he came in at 4 percent.
Ben Carson got 10 percent, with Rand Paul and Scott Walker at 9 percent each.
Rounding out the top 10 were Marco Rubio with 8 percent. Mike Huckabee with 6 percent, Ted Cruz at 4 percent, and Carly Fiorina tied with. Rick Santorum at 3 percent.
Debates held by Fox News and CNN later in the summer will separate the top 10 contenders in polling from the rest of the field, making it especially important for candidates to reach that threshold.
Among contenders falling outside the top 10 in Fox’s poll: Chris Christie, Bobby Jindal, John Kasich and Rick Perry at 2 percent. Lindsey Graham and George Pataki got 1 percent.

Lesson for Rand that he probably will learn too late: Don't take campaign advice from the MSM and pollsters who want you lose anyway.
