Three days after a Des Moines Register poll found Ben Carson plowing ahead of GOP frontrunner Donald Trump in the Iowa caucus race, a new Monmouth University poll shows the neurosurgeon’s lead widening further. According to the survey results, 32 percent of Republicans polled picked Carson, followed by Trump with 18 percent, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio with 10 percent, and Jeb Bush at 8 percent. An August poll by Monmouth poll showed Carson and Trump tied at 23 percent.
