Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) came in second with more than 7 percent of the vote, and Gov. Scott Walker (R-WI) came in third with just under 6 percent.

Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry came in last with well under 1 percent of the vote.

Breitbart News exclusively reported that Carson’s fundraising sky rocketed since his formal presidential announcement in early May.

According to Carson’s spokesman Doug Watts, Carson raised at least $5.2 million since launching his exploratory committee with ““predominantly in small donations,” and just $52 being the average, Breitbart News reported.
