Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is the front-runner in the Hawkeye State, followed by Donald Trump, according to a new Monmouth University poll of likely Iowa Republican caucusgoers.
Walker received the support of 22 percent of those surveyed, followed by Trump at 13 percent, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson at 8 percent, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz tied at 7 percent. Approximately 11 percent of likely caucusgoers said they were undecided.
The poll finds Walker leads all candidates among voters identifying as "very conservative," "somewhat conservative," and "moderate to liberal voters." Evangelicals and voters over age 50 also went for Walker in the poll.
The poll was conducted Thursday through Saturday and did not find that Trump's controversial comments on faith and Sen. John McCain in Ames, Iowa, seemed to have an impact on his support in the state.
Walker's support, meanwhile, jumped from 19 percentage points of those surveyed on Thursday and Friday, to 25 percent of those surveyed on Saturday.
