Now, Ben Carson Leads In A Republican Poll

Following a trio of Republican campaign announcements last week, Ben Carson leaps to the top spot of GOP presidential candidates in the latest Fox News poll tied with presumed GOP front-runner Jeb Bush.
Carson, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee all entered the race for the Republican nomination early last week, but none has seen as dramatic a bump as the retired neurosurgeon.
Carson Touts Candor As A Plus For His GOP Presidential Bid
Both Bush and Carson sit atop the Fox poll at 13 percent each among Republican primary voters. That's a seven-point bounce for Carson who was at just 6 percent in the same poll in April.
The poll comes amid Bush's shifting statements on whether he would have authorized the Iraq War. Being tied to the unpopular war, launched by his older brother President George. W. Bush, would be a potential liability to the former Florida governor's yet-to-be-launched bid for the Oval Office.
This issue, however, likely had little impact on the Fox poll, which wrapped its surveying of respondents Tuesday, just a day after his interview with Fox's Megyn Kelly, in which he said he would have authorized the war even knowing what we know now. He reversed that stance Thursday.
