A new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll shows that GOP frontrunner Donald Trump is barely the frontrunner at all anymore. 

Normally, this would be cause to celebrate, but don't pop that bottle yet, because the guy Trump is now basically tied with is none other than "no Muslim should ever be president" / "being gay is a choice" candidate Dr. Ben Carson

According to NBC News, Trump has 21 percent of the vote, while Carson has 20. Tied for third place is former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina and Florida Senator Marco Rubio. They both currently have 11 percent, the poll says. 

Trump, in true Trump style, has been flat out denying the his slip in the polls by telling Business Insider it's just "dishonest reporting."

Although, when he was leading by a whole lot in those same polls, he was pissed when other people said they didn't matter, so...

Dishonest @politico just called to say that none of the polls including Fox, NBC, CNN, Zogby, & Morning Consult matter. Serious haters.

On the Democrat side of things, the poll shows that Bernie Sanders has closed the gap with leader Hillary Clinton to only seven points, with Clinton owning 42 percent to Sanders' 35 percent.
