Latest poll: Carson now in the lead

It's about to get interesting.
Ben Carson has surpassed Donald Trump and now narrowly leads the Republican field in the race for the nomination in the latest national CBS News/New York Times Poll.

Twenty-six percent of Republican primary voters back Carson, giving him a four-point edge over Trump (22 percent). Support for Carson has quadrupled since August.

The rest of the Republican presidential candidates lag far behind in single digits. Marco Rubio is now in third place (eight percent), followed by Jeb Bush (seven percent) and Carly Fiorina (seven percent). All other candidates are at four percent or lower.

I see Carson and Trump as being very different men. Personally, I prefer Carson. But, one thing they surely have in common is that they both are outside the traditional Republican establishment.

I wonder if Trump will attack Carson in tomorrow night's debate. My guess is that he will.
