Donald Trump.

Real-estate mogul Donald Trump is absolutely crushing his GOP presidential rivals - both in polls, and when it comes to Google searches.

The one exception to Trump's apparent dominance, interestingly, is in Wisconsin, where local Gov. Scott Walker (R) leads many of the counties. No other Republican candidate holds his or her home state against Trump. 

The results aren't necessarily surprising: Trump has had a near-monopoly of presidential media coverage and has led in most of the recent polls of the Republican primary.
