Former reality television star Donald Trump is leading the crowded Republican presidential field in Iowa and surging past all competitors, according to a CNN/ORC International Poll released Wednesday.

Trump polled at 22 percent among likely Iowa caucus goers while his closest competitor, former neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson, polled at 14 percent.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker was at 9 percent. After impressive performances at last week's presidential debates, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz polled at 8 percent and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina polled at 7 percent. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee also polled at 7 percent.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush polled at 5 percent alongside Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.
