Donald Trump’s Poll Lead May Be Even Yuuuuger

With the Iowa caucuses less than two months away, presidential candidate Donald Trump continues to dominate the field of candidates in the Republican primary race, but because Ben Carson has plummeted to third or fourth place in most of the national polls, Sen.

Clinton Poll Slide Continues; Top GOP Candidates Now Beating Her in Battleground States

Instead, one of the more solid political polls, Quinnipiac, just released a new study that found Clinton’s poll numbers crashing even though she’s been kept out of the public eye.
