Fox Poll: Ben Carson Just 1 Point Behind Donald Trump

Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson is now just one point behind front-runner Donald Trump in a new Fox News poll released Tuesday — and he could beat Democrat Hillary Clinton with at least 50 percent of the vote.

Carson, the retired pediatric neurosurgeon who has consistently placed behind Trump in recent surveys, finished the Fox poll of 1,004 voters at 23 percent. Trump remained in the lead, at 24 percent.

Support for Carson has nearly doubled over the past two months, as "he is seen by voters as being more ethical than others," Fox reports.

In a hypothetical match-up with Clinton, Carson would beat the Democratic former first lady by 50-39 percent.
