That's kind of comical:
Raleigh, N.C. PPP's newest national Republican poll finds a clear leader in the race for
the first time: Scott Walker is at 25% to 18% for Ben Carson, 17% for Jeb Bush, and 10%
for Mike Huckabee. Rounding out the field of contenders are Chris Christie and Ted Cruz
at 5%, Rand Paul at 4%, and Rick Perry and Marco Rubio at 3%.
Walker has more than doubled his support since his 11% standing on our January
national poll, and Carson has moved up 3 points. Bush, Huckabee, Paul, and Perry have
largely stayed in place while Cruz has dropped 4 points and Christie has dropped 2
points.
Walker is climbing fast in the polling because of his appeal to the most conservative
elements of the Republican electorate. Among 'very conservative' voters he leads with
37% to 19% for Carson, 12% for Bush, and 11% for Huckabee. Bush has a similarly
large lead over Walker with moderates at 34/12...the problem for Bush though is that
there are two times more GOP primary voters who identify as 'very conservative' than
there are ones who identify as moderates.
Bush is really struggling with conservative voters. Among 'very conservative' voters on
this poll, just 37% rate Bush favorably to 43% with an unfavorable opinion. By
comparison Carson is at 73/2, Walker at 68/3, and Cruz at 68/8 with those folks.

Smart guy, terrible politician. And he stabbed a guy!! I wanna bring that up a hundred times a day during the election.

(99,710 posts)The only Republicans that scare me are Jeb and Rubio because they offer the theoretical possibility of mitigating losses among Latino voters without which the Republicans can not win.
BTW, I read he stabbed a poor fella...

(34,648 posts)Rubio is missing something that makes him more electable. The way he talks is very unsure, like h is repeating talkin points. Jeb believes his own bullshit just like his brother. Very dangerous. And Latinos like him and his wife and son will help him with those communities. Jeb needs a scandal.

(31,849 posts)From laughing so hard! Could you imagine him debating Webb? Or Warren!
They would wipe the floor with his dumb ass!
I nominate Corey Booker for all post debate interviews. I'd like to see him keep a straight face. He's so intelligent and kind - what a contrast that would be!
