Donald Trump has hit a new high in the race for the Republican nomination, according to a new CNN/ORC Poll, with more than 4-in-10 Republican voters nationwide now saying they back the billionaire.
And more than two-thirds of Republicans say he's the candidate most likely to capture their party's presidential nomination.
Trump has topped the 40% mark for the first time in CNN/ORC polling, standing at 41%.
That more than doubles the support of his nearest competitor, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who notches 19% support in the poll.
