Business mogul Donald Trump and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson tied for the lead among likely Iowa Republican caucus-goers.

A new Monmouth University poll released on Monday showed that both Carson and Trump received 23 percent of the vote. Until now, Trump has been directly leading in the polls ahead of other GOP hopefuls like Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio.

Trump has been rising in the polls partly because many Americans are "dissatisfied" with the manner things are heading with the country and the majority "hardly ever" trusts government.

The information taken from a Quinnipiac University poll show that maybe the mistrust in government is the reason why more experienced politicians are losing in the polls to non-politicians.

Meanwhile, it has been reported that Carson has been trying to appeal to the Latino community but failed to draw a single Latino to one of his outreach events at a South Carolina landscaping business. The owner and his brother were the only Latinos who were in attendance.

Trump has appealed to conservative Latinos citing that he has given jobs to thousands of Latinos in the past and that they "love" him. The business mogul wants to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants so that they can come back to America legally.

Yet, the business mogul still leads in overall polling. For voters who say they are relatively certain who they will vote for, 30 percent support Trump, while only 22 percent support Carson.

"Trump's support is currently more solid than Carson's, but Iowa voters are still considering quite a few candidates before they come to a final decision," said Patrick Murray, the director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute.

Trump's favorability has also risen. When the Monmouth poll was first taken last month, 47 percent viewed him as favorable compared to 52 percent this month.
