Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson now leads real-estate mogul Donald Trump in the Real Clear Politics polling average, marking the first time since mid-July that Trump has been out of the top position.

The site averaged the results of four recent polls, including Wednesday's Quinnipiac survey that showed the two Republican outsiders in a virtual tie for first place.

According to the average of the four polls, Carson gets 25.3% of the vote to Trump's 24.3%.

It's the first time since July 19, when Trump was running second to former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) in the average, that he has not led.
