Donald Trump Plummets in GOP Presidential Poll

A month ago, Donald Trump led in the polls, his rapid ascent propelling him past established Republicans like former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty.

But as fast as Trump rose in the GOP field, he's plummeted even faster, to the point where it seems his presidential aspirations are barely a footnote. 

After leading an April survey of the presidential candidates by Public Policy Polling (PPP), Trump has sunk to the bottom of the field in PPP's latest offering, tied for fifth place with Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.).

Out in front are Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney, with 19 percent and 18 percent, respectively.
