Front-runner Donald Trump has slipped in the polls after this week’s Republican debate, while former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina shot to second place, a new poll finds.
The CNN/ORC poll has Trump still leading the field, with 24 percent of Republican voters supporting him, but that total is down eight percentage points from earlier this month.
“The only poll that matters is the big one. You know, that one. It’s going to be the election,” Trump tells CNN’s “State of the Union” in a telephone interview, saying he was surprised by the results.
Fiorina, meanwhile, gains after a strong debate performance in which she icily skewered the brash real-estate mogul for disparaging her looks in comments reported by Rolling Stone magazine.
The CNN poll has her at 15 percent, just ahead of Ben Carson, who in recent weeks has been Trump’s closest challenger.
