Donald Trump's publicity has worked favorably for him placing him on top of other Republican candidates. He conquered the top place in New Hampshire making Wisconsin's Gov. Scott Walker's efforts unsuccessful even after his rigorous campaign in the area. Twenty-one percent of GOP voters backed Trump, with Jeb Bush at 14 percent, and Walker coming in with 12 percent. Trump landed second place with 17 percent from Iowa Republicans while Walker had a two percent lead at 19 percent. Bush gets third place with 12 percent in Iowa and the fourth place with eight percent goes to neurosurgeon Ben Carson, according to the New York Daily News.
