These charts reflect the results of two new national polls on the race for the Republican presidential nomination. Although their numbers are different, both agree that Donald Trump has a huge lead -- with Jeb Bush finishing in a poor second, and everybody else struggling to remain relevant (even Walker, Rubio, Paul, and Cruz -- who were all thought to be among the leaders at one time).
The CNN / ORC Poll was done between August 13th and 16th of a random national sample of 456 registered GOP voters (and leaners), and has a margin of error of 4.5 points.
The Morning Consult Poll was done between August 14th and 16th of a random national sample of 783 Republicans (and leaners), and has a margin of error of 3.5 points.
