According to Thursday's Monmouth University poll, support for Trump is now at 30 percent.

Jeb Bush fell four points and Scott Walker is down eight. Gov. Chris Christie remains at 2 percent, which puts him in a tie for ninth place.

In head to head matchups, Trump beats every single candidate running except for Dr. Ben Carson. Neither has ever held elected office.
