Trump scored 20 percent in a new national poll of the GOP electorate, the highest tally received by a single candidate in Quinnipiac University's seven surveys over the last two years. However, 30 percent of Republican voters say there is "no way" they would vote for Trump, which is also the highest figure of any candidate.
Trailing Trump's 20 percent support is Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker with 13 percent, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, at 10 percent. Ben Carson, Mike Huckabee, Rand Paul, and Marco Rubio are all at 6 percent, putting them in a four-way tie for fourth place.
