Donald Trump's support just soared to a new high

Trump had a commanding 41% lead in the Monmouth University survey of Republican and GOP-leaning independent voters.
That represents as 13-point gain from the 28% Trump had in a poll from the same firm in mid-October.
"It has become abundantly clear that Trump is giving his supporters exactly what they want, even if what he says causes the GOP leadership and many Republican voters to cringe," pollster Patrick Murray said in a statement.
The poll found several other candidates' support growing since October, but they were still far behind Trump. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who has surged in most recent polls, was at 14%. And Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) was at 10%.
Other candidates weren't so lucky. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson saw his support sag to 9%, while former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) was at just 3%.
Last Friday, Trump blasted Monmouth's polling operation in the wake of one of their surveys finding Cruz ahead of him in Iowa.
"We're leading in most of the polls. We're leading in every poll - no, every poll - except [in] Iowa there was one poll: Monmouth," Trump said. "I've never heard [of] Monmouth. What the hell is Monmouth? What is Monmouth? Explain it. I don't like Monmouth. You know why I don't like it? Because they always treat me badly also. I only like polls that treat me well."
