Donald Trump is leading yet another poll for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, in what is expected to be one of the national surveys that could be used to decide who participates in the first GOP debate next week in Ohio.
Mr. Trump captured 20 percent of the vote in the Quinnipiac University poll of Republican or Republican-leaning voters nationwide, putting him well ahead of his closest competitors — Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin with 13 percent, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush with 10 percent — in the crowded GOP field.
The rest of the pack is bunched together, fueling additional questions about who will be on the outside looking in for the the first Republican National Committee sponsored debate on Aug. 6, which Fox is capping at ten candidates based on an average of national polls.
Mr. Trump also led the “no way” list in the poll, with 30 percent of respondents saying they could not vote for him, followed by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, 15 percent, and Mr. Bush, 14 percent.
Donald Trump: 20 percent
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker: 13 percent
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush: 10 percent
Ben Carson: 6 percent
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee: 6 percent
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul: 6 percent
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio: 6 percent
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz: 5 percent
Ohio Gov. John Kasich: 5 percent
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie: 3 percent
