Jeb Bush (R) wins 8 percent of the vote, followed by Rubio and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) at 7 percent. No other contender scores more than 3 percent of the vote.

Forty-two percent of Republican men say that they will support Trump. And among Republicans who say national security is their paramount concern, Trump takes 44 percent of the vote. Carson performs better among Republican women voters than among men, and among those who say they care most about education, Medicare and Social Security....
