— (CNN) -- Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has a slight lead against his fellow Republicans in the 2016 primary race, but no one candidate appears to be running away with the GOP presidential field, a new poll from CNN/ORC finds.
Overall, 17 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents back Bush for the GOP nomination, while 12 percent support Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.
Sens. Rand Paul and Marco Rubio stand at 11 percent each, with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee at 9 percent and Sen. Ted Cruz at 7 percent.
Former neurosurgeon Ben Carson and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, both of whom placed second in CNN/ORC polls as recently as last fall, are now well behind the leader at 4 percent each.
