According to a joint ABC News/Washington Post poll released on September 14, in the 2016 White House race, real estate billionaire Donald Trump continues to gain support, while Hillary Clinton, despite a decline in popularity, still leads the race.

Among Republican voters interviewed, 33% currently pledge to vote for billionaire Donald Trump to secure the Republican presidential nomination in the 2016 election.

This commitment rate has increased by 9% compared to the 24% support seen in the July poll.

The second "outsider," neurosurgeon Ben Carson, has surged to second place, with his approval rating increasing from 6% to 20%.

The remaining potential candidates include former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who received 9% of the pledge, followed by Senator Ted Cruz and State Senator Marco Rubio, both of whom received 7% of the pledge.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's approval rating has dropped the most, from 13% in July to 2% currently.

On the Democratic side, although still leading nationally, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's popularity has declined significantly recently, mainly due to controversies, including the use of a personal email account for transactions while she was Secretary of State.

According to the poll results, 42% of Democratic voters surveyed currently say they would vote for Hillary Clinton to win the party's nomination in the November 2016 US presidential election.

Senator Bernie Sanders ranked second with 24% support.

Twenty-one percent said they would vote for Vice President Joe Biden if he decided to run for president.
