Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina gained ground after her favorable performance in Wednesday night's debate. A post-debate CNN/ORC poll released Sunday shows Fiorina in second place with 15 percent of the party's prospective vote, a 9-point boost from August, and 52 percent deemed her Wednesday's winner.
Donald Trump is still the Republican frontrunner, but he dropped to 24 percent, 8 points lower than he sat earlier in September.
