Ben Carson, M.D. grabs lead in latest Republican poll

While former governor Jeb Bush formally announces his candidacy today, it is fellow Floridian
and current U.S. senator Marco Rubio who seems to have enjoyed greater momentum in the past few
weeks. When asked to name who they would like to see as the party’s nominee for president, Republican
and Republican-leaning voters are divided among commentator Dr. Ben Carson (11%), Wisconsin
Governor Scott Walker (10%), Bush (9%), Rubio (9%), and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee
(8%). Other preferences include Kentucky Senator Rand Paul (6%), Texas Senator Ted Cruz (5%), New
Jersey Governor Chris Christie (4%), former Texas Governor Rick Perry (4%), former Pennsylvania
Senator Rick Santorum (3%), businesswoman Carly Fiorina (2%), South Carolina Senator Lindsey
Graham (2%), and businessman Donald Trump (2%). Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal (1%), Ohio
Governor John Kasich (1%), and former New York Governor George Pataki (0%) round out the list.
None of these candidates scores higher than “undecided,” which clocks in at 20%. As one poll participant
said, “I just don’t know where they stand on the issues that matter to me.”

It's a free for all at this point,I expect we'll see movement in a couple of months pointing to a small number of republicans who will break out in the polls,my guess is Carson won't be one of them.

There is simply no front-runner in the GOP clown car. They're all jockeying for a percentage point or two more than the other. It's hilarious. Buncha morons!
