Washington (CNN)Donald Trump has a significant lead in the race to win over likely Iowa caucus-goers, according to the first CNN/ORC poll in the state this cycle.

Trump tops the field with 22% and is the candidate seen as best able to handle top issues including the economy, illegal immigration and terrorism. He's most cited as the one with the best chance of winning the general election, and, by a wide margin, as the candidate most likely to change the way things work in Washington.

READ THE POLL RESULTS

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson follows Trump in overall preference with 14%, bumping Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who had held the top spot in most recent public polling in Iowa, down to third place with 9%. Walker is nearly even with a slew of other candidates.

Cruz did better than I thought he would. Bush is tanking.

I’m thinking Carson rather than Cruz for veep because we really, really, REALLY need Cruz as AG to handle all the criminality that has gone on so far.

Cruz is on an upward trend.

Walker, Bush and Raul Paul are on a downward trend.

Walker’s announcement bump has already worn off, and he will sink into oblivion where he belongs.

I didn’t even think about Cruz as AG. I was thinking Supreme Court.

Boy that Walker is sure on fire...

Maybe if his crew would spend more time talking him up, rather than driving Trump’s numbers up by trashing him, he’d actually gain ground.

It would’ve been nice in the debate if anyone had asked these people how they felt about SCOTUS.

I actually think Scott Walker is a very capable guy.
I am guessing Trump has sucked all the oxygen out of the room.

I’d hate to think that those boneheaded union protests are having an effect.
