Dr. Ben Carson finds himself neck-and-neck with Donald Trump in Iowa, according to a new 2016 poll.
From Bloomberg Politics:
Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson has emerged as a leading Republican presidential candidate in Iowa and is closing in on frontrunner Donald Trump in the state that hosts the first 2016 nomination balloting contest.
The latest Bloomberg Politics/Des Moines Register Iowa Poll shows billionaire Trump with the support of 23 percent of likely Republican caucus participants, followed by Carson at 18 percent. When first and second choices are combined, Carson is tied with Trump.

When their totals are combined, Trump and Carson — two men without any elected experience — are backed by more than 4 in 10 likely caucus participants.
