- 9 years ago
Businessman Donald Trump and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson are running neck-and-neck in the race for the GOP presidential nomination, while former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton continues to lose ground to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal national poll has found.
Trump remains on top in the GOP field, capturing 21% of Republican primary voters, but Carson is at 20%, within the poll's margin of error.
On the Democratic side, Clinton - who held a 60-point lead over Sanders in June - has slipped to a 7-point advantage over the Vermont senator among Democratic primary voters, 42% to 35%.
Vice President Joe Biden, who has not yet declared whether he will seek the Oval Office, comes in third with 17%.
