Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson follows with 9 percent. Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) each have 6 percent support. Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina earns 4 percent, the only other Republican hopeful with at least 2 percent support.

Pollsters found that Trump is popular with Connecticut’s likely GOP primary voters, with 55 percent having a favorable opinion of the businessman.

The poll comes as Carson and Trump engage in a tight battle for the GOP nomination nationally.

Carson trails the real estate tycoon by exactly 1 point, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average of national polls.

Trump escalated his attacks on Carson last week, saying he had a “pathological” temper, citing violent incidents from Carson's autobiography.

The Carson campaign responded by asking supporters to “pray” for Trump.

Carson has blasted his media coverage, accusing the press of scrutinizing him more than other candidate.

Sixty percent of respondents in the poll said the media's coverage of Carson was fair, with 40 percent saying the press is "unfairly targeting him."

The Emerson College Polling Society surveyed 445 likely Connecticut Republican primary voters via telephone Nov. 13-16. The poll has a 6-point margin of error.
