The poll of 500 adults using Google Consumer Surveys has the real estate tycoon drawing 38 percent support and the hip-hop mogul finishing with 21 percent support; 41 percent remain undecided:

West, a 21-time Grammy-Award-winning rapper and producer, announced at the MTV 2015 Video Music Awards on Sunday that he would run for the Oval Office in 2020, though it’s unclear how serious he was.
A GOP operative in Maryland filed paperwork on Monday to form a campaign committee, the “Ready for Kanye” PAC, in anticipation of West’s run.
The rapper and his wife, Kim Kardashian, were photographed at a fundraiser for Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton earlier this year.
