New Poll: Since the Terror Attacks in Paris

Since the terror attacks in Paris, American voters have increasingly grown security concerns. A new poll conducted by Morning Consult say that 22 percent of voters say security issues are at the top of their minds when they think about national elections, up five points from the previous week and higher than any other issue besides the economy.

Republicans enjoy a clear advantage among voters who say security issues are their top concern; among those voters, 53 percent say they would cast a ballot for a generic Republican candidate, compared with just 27 percent who would vote for a Democratic candidate.

News for Trump: Donald Trump continues to lead the Republican presidential field by a wide margin, after seeing his support dip in late October. Trump leads with 38 percent of the vote, twice the level of support of his nearest competitor, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who takes 19 percent.
