Donald Trump and Ben Carson now stand alone at the top of the Republican field, as Carly Fiorina's brief foray into the top tier of candidates seeking the GOP nomination for president appears to have ended. A new CNN/ORC poll finds Fiorina has lost 11 points in the last month, declining from 15% support and second place to 4% and a tie for seventh place.
At the same time, Carson has gained eight points and joins Trump as the only candidates in the field with support above 20%. As in early September before Fiorina's spike in support, Trump and Carson are the first choice candidate of about half of the potential Republican electorate.
All told, nearly two-thirds of Republican voters choose Trump or Carson as either their first or second choice for the nomination.
No other candidates made significant gains since the last CNN/ORC poll conducted just after the Republican debate hosted by CNN and the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.
