2016 Presidential Polls Update: Trump Still on Top
While Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina somehow gained more power over other candidates due to their electoral experience, Donald Trump remains on top of the polls released by several news outlets.
In USA Today's poll, Jeb Bush was behind the business mogul in the race, the poll released two months earlier. In the latest poll results, the presidential candidate, whose last name has been a hit in politics, has slid down to fifth place.
Ginger Mangam, a 58-year-old customer service representative hailing from Little Rock and among those surveyed, said he is "unfortunately" rooting for Trump for the sole reason that he's a "non-political figure."

Another citizen who took part in the surveys, Anthony Edelen, a small business owner residing in Vermillion, S.D., said he is leaning on Trump and Fiorina, noting that he wants a president who will direct the country in a different route from where it is at the moment.
Meanwhile, Sen. Marco Rubio has geared up as he landed in fourth place and supported by 9 percent of the surveyed folks. Those with significant political experience, such as New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, have all failed to secure a more hopeful spot as they scored about 1 percent and below, which, the outlet noted, is a standing that would make it more difficult to get financial support and be part of debates on television.
According to Christian Today, the NBC/Wall Street Journal poll also revealed that billionaire Trump is still on the lead. The poll surveyed 256 Democratic voters and 230 Republican voters, running from Sept. 20 to 24.
As Carson closes in on Trump's 21 percent vote with 20 percent on his name, the retired surgeon seems to keep strengthening his spot in the race, especially since the top GOP lister showed an "average" performance in the second Republican debate for the month of September.
Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, has significantly seen lower numbers in the past few months, while Sen. Bernie Sanders comes head-to-head with the former Secretary of State.
