Walker Leads the GOP Pack

A new Public Policy Polling national survey finds Scott Walker leads the Republican presidential field with 25%, followed by Ben Carson at 18%, Jeb Bush at 17% and Mike Huckabee at 10%.

No other potential candidate gets more than 5% of the vote.

Chris Christie just keeps on becoming more and more unpopular with Republican voters. Only 28% rate him favorably to 45% who have a negative opinion. Christie's issues with conservatives are nothing new- among 'very conservative' voters just 20% rate him favorably to 61% with a negative opinion. But increasingly we're finding that moderate voters don't like him anymore either- on this poll just 33% gave him good marks to 38% with a negative opinion.

2015 has been a struggle for Rand Paul in the polls so far. This is the second month in a row he's come in at 4% nationally, and he's only registered at 5-7% in our state polls so far this year as well. Over the last year his favorability rating with primary voters nationally has fallen from 58/21 to 42/24. It's not that he's had a big uptick in voters disliking him, but the 13% decline in ones who even have an opinion about him suggests he's not really grabbing the attention of Republican voters in the way the other candidates are.

Don't forget that in 2012, the Republican frontrunner was, at one point or another, Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain.

Let Scott Walker take that to the bank--the mud bank, because that's all it's worth at this point.

Others will get press over this or that, or because the media emphasizes some act or words, and then the new one will be up the new darling for a while.
There's still a long way to go.

Walker will take his orders and comply with his masters.

We will all suffer under his leadership.
