According to polls, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson is seen to quietly rise in a very good position in the Donald Trump-dominated 2016 presidential race
Based on the latest results from the CBS News/New York Times poll conducted last Sept. 9 to 13, Carson gathered a huge amount of support putting him only second to Trump, CNN reported.
The poll results that were released last Tuesday revealed that Carson was picked by 23 percent of Republican voters nationwide as their top choice, as opposed to the 27 percent who went for Trump.
In the last poll survey by CBS conducted before the Fox News debate started last month, Trump had 23 percent of the support and climbed to the 27 percent in the latest poll. But on that same period, Carson started at 6 percent and quickly rose at 23 percent.
There are changes expected from the numbers as the poll also found that only 37 percent Republican voters have already made up their mind as to whom they will be supporting in the upcoming presidential elections. The number is compared to 63 percent of voters who can still change their decisions.
Carson is much like Trump, in a way that both have been seen as novices who lack experience or political involvement. Almost 6 out of 10 Republican voters say that they want their candidate to be someone who had political experience, according to The Washington Post.
Last night, Carson and Trump had another chance to change how people view them as they participated in the GOP debate held at the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California and hosted by CNN.
Meanwhile, over to the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton still dominates the party but she's lost a great amount of support for the past couple of months as she faces the private e-mail server controversy.
Following the Washington Post/ABC News survey, Clinton's support has plummeted down to less than 50 percent, mostly coming from white women.
