Business tycoon Donald Trump leads the latest polls gathered in Iowa after the first Republican presidential debate, based on the first CN/ ORC poll in the state.
Based on the poll's data gathered between Aug. 7 to 11, 22 percent of the Iowa caucus-goers believe that the billionaire is the best representative of the Republican party to take care of the most important issues in the U.S., particularly the economy, terrorism, and illegal immigration. He is also believed to be the one who could possibly win the general election next year, and he also earned the biggest nod as the Republican candidate who could impose a huge change in the country's capitol.
According to reports, Trump's lead came despite his inability to fully represent the core values of Republicans. However, none of the interested candidates could also claim that they have strong Republican values.
Ben Carson, former John Hopkins Hospital director for pediatric neurosurgery, ended in second place with 14 percent approval. He pushed the former leading candidate, Wisconsin governor Scott Walker, further down in the poll after getting nine percent that placed him in the third position.
The other Republican presidential hopefuls who ended below the top three spots include Texas senator Ted Cruz who received an eight percent nod, while business expert Carly Fiorina and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee were tied at seven percent. Meanwhile, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and senators Rand Paul and Marco Rubio all got five percent nods.
The Republicans from Iowa are choosing to support the possible presidential based on their ability to frequently cite an important economic issue.
On the Democratic side, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is experiencing a drop in the poll after news came out that she was using a private email server while she was working as the top executive at the U.S. State Department. This means that Senator Bernie Sanders, the senator from Vermont, already managed to surpass Clinton in the number one post this week.
The U.S. presidential election is scheduled on Nov. 8 next year.
