Tuesday’s poll comes as Carson and Trump are locked in a fierce struggle for the GOP’s 2016 presidential nomination nationwide. Trump has dominated the race all summer, but Carson has gradually gained on the outspoken billionaire.

The retired neurosurgeon is now just over 1 point behind Trump, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average of samplings. Trump earns 25.3 percent voter support, edging out Carson’s 24 percent.

Carson, however, is beginning to tie or even surpass the real estate tycoon in some national polls.

A Wall Street Journal/NBC News survey released Monday, for example, has Carson besting Trump, 29 percent to 23 percent, among GOP primary voters.

Trump has responded by slowly intensifying his attacks on Carson despite the pair’s warm relationship on the campaign trail.

“It’s not his thing,” he said Tuesday on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” adding that Carson doesn't have the "temperament" for the presidency.

“I think that Ben doesn’t have the experience,” Trump added.
