With the first votes of the 2016 presidential race a little more than two months away, Donald Trump is showing renewed support among likely Republican voters after the Islamic State attacks in Paris gave him a chance to showcase a "tough on terror '' message.

Trump has reclaimed the outright lead in Iowa, according to a CBS/YouGov poll released Sunday, with 30 percent support among registered Republican voters in the state. Ben Carson, who was tied with Trump in the same poll a month ago, has fallen to third place with 19 percent support, behind Trump and Texas Senator Ted Cruz, who earned 21 percent support.
