CLEVELAND, Ohio- Dr Ben Carson, a retired neurosurgeon and the only Black in the race for president, is now neck and neck with front-runner Donald Trump for the GOP nomination at 20 and 21 percent respectively, according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
Carly Fiorina is tied for third place with Sen. Marco Rubio, both with 11 percent .
Ohio Gov. John Kasich is now in fifth place with 6 percent, behind Jeb Bush, who has 7 percent. And Kasich, governor of the pivotal state of Ohio since 2011 and a former congressman, is a percentage point above Sen Ted Cruz, who got 5 percent.
Sen Rand Paul , Gov. Chris Christie and Mike Huckabee polled at 3 percent, 3 percent, and 2 percent respectively.
Hillary Clinton remains the front-runner for the Democratic nomination for president, the poll reveals, and leads Sen. Bernie Sanders by 15 points.
Kasich has increased his standing since the first GOP debate in Cleveland in August where he barely made the cut to take to the stage among the 10 selected relative to the crowded GOP field based primarily upon poll results.
During the third GOP debate, held on Sept 16, Kasich said that he can guarantee that he will win Ohio over Clinton if both advance as party nominees. That remains to be seen.
