NBCNEWS POLL: Trump More Than Doubles Lead With GOP Debate Performance

Democrat leaning NBC has declared Donald Trump the clear winner of the GOP debate saying the business man more than doubled his national lead in the Republican presidential race.

According to the results from a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll Trump raised his lead to 33 percent of Republican primary voters.

Trump is the first choice of 33 percent of national Republican primary voters – his highest percentage in the poll. He’s followed by Ted Cruz at 20 percent, Marco Rubio at 13 percent and Ben Carson at 12 percent. Chris Christie and Jeb Bush are tied at five percent. No other Republican presidential candidate gets more than 3 percent. h/t nbcnews

Trump’s 13-point lead over Cruz is an increase from last month, when he held a five-point advantage over the Texas senator, 27 percent to 22 percent.
