Donald Trump has a significant lead in the race to win over likely Iowa caucus-goers, according to the first CNN/ORC poll in the state this cycle..
Trump tops the field with 22% and is the candidate seen as best able to handle top issues including the economy, illegal immigration and terrorism. He's most cited as the one with the best chance of winning the general election, and, by a wide margin, as the candidate most likely to change the way things work in Washington.
Ben Carson follows Trump in overall preference with 14%, bumping . Scott Walker, who had held the top spot in most recent public polling in Iowa, down to third place with 9%. Walker is nearly even with a slew of other candidates.
Ted Cruz follows the top three at 8%, with Carly Fiorina and Mike Huckabee both at 7%. Jeb Bush is tied at 5% with Rand Paul and Marco Rubio. The rest of the field stands at 3% or less.
The big story here, which MSM is not focusing on is the collapse of Jeb Bush since the debate. It's one thing for Rand to collapse, that was expected with all his flip-flopping, but the Bush collapse is the startling one and it is aimed at the heart of the establishment.
