Washington (CNN)Donald Trump has a significant lead in the race to win over likely Iowa caucus-goers, according to the first CNN/ORC poll in the state this cycle.
Trump tops the field with 22% and is the candidate seen as best able to handle top issues including the economy, illegal immigration and terrorism. He's most cited as the one with the best chance of winning the general election, and, by a wide margin, as the candidate most likely to change the way things work in Washington.
READ THE POLL RESULTS
Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson follows Trump in overall preference with 14%, bumping Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who had held the top spot in most recent public polling in Iowa, down to third place with 9%. Walker is nearly even with a slew of other candidates.

The actual poll.
Trump rising! Good for Carson! Lol GOP and Fox
Cruz did better than I thought he would. Bush is tanking.
I’m thinking Carson rather than Cruz for veep because we really, really, REALLY need Cruz as AG to handle all the criminality that has gone on so far.
Cruz is on an upward trend.
Walker, Bush and Raul Paul are on a downward trend.
Take that liberal FOX news and liberal Megyn Kelly!
polls are meaningless at this point
Walker’s announcement bump has already worn off, and he will sink into oblivion where he belongs.
I didn’t even think about Cruz as AG. I was thinking Supreme Court.
Here is another meaningless poll.

Jeb Bush at 5%? That’s the best news I heard all day!
ding dong the witch is dead!
Boy that Walker is sure on fire...
Maybe if his crew would spend more time talking him up, rather than driving Trump’s numbers up by trashing him, he’d actually gain ground.
It would’ve been nice in the debate if anyone had asked these people how they felt about SCOTUS.
(s)but then how were they going to ask Trump what kind of puppies he eats for breakfast?(/s)
polls mean dollars.
jbush needs his vote splitters to stay in the race.
I actually think Scott Walker is a very capable guy.
I am guessing Trump has sucked all the oxygen out of the room.
I’d hate to think that those boneheaded union protests are having an effect.
Bush 5% ?
Yes
