Donald Trump has raced to a commanding ten point lead in the latest NBC 2016 Republican presidential poll.

In a poll conducted from among 5,755 adults 18 and older from November 15 through 17, the network found Trump now snares 28 percent of the vote, compared to 18 percent each for both retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

Florida Senator Marco Rubio is the only other candidate registering in double-digits from among the crowded GOP field at 11 percent. Former party front-runner and Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is now at just four percent and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina are at three percent each.

Carson's Tumbles As Controversies Mount

Just a month ago, the same poll found Trump and Carson in a dead heat at 26 percent each, but since then Carson's numbers have dipped by an alarming eight points.

Between then and now, the controversial political neophyte has come under increased scrutiny for biographical details in his memoir and criticism for his lack of foreign policy expertise.

But with the Iowa caucuses lurking in just two months, not all appears lost for Carson. The poll found he still leads among the critical bloc of white evangelicals with 25 percent of the vote, two points ahead of Trump and three in front of Cruz.

Cruz Rises, Favorite of Conservatives

When it comes to those who identify themselves as "very conservative," Cruz now holds a commanding lead over both Trump (28 percent) and Carson (15 percent).

Among more educated Republican voters, or those with a college degree or more, support for Trump, Carson, Cruz and Rubio appears evenly divided with Trump still holding a significant edge among those with high school diplomas or less.

When it comes to both groups, Cruz has managed to make the most significant gains over the last several weeks.
