(50,569 posts)Scott Walker got 14 percent.
Rand Paul and Ted Cruz each received 13 percent.
Jeb Bush got 12 percent.
Tied for fifth are Ben Carson and the Waterboy at 7 percent apiece.
Because we don't know the MOE of this poll, you're looking at a four-way horse race.

(99,716 posts)But 12% for the grandson of a senator, the brother and son of a president, and the former governor of the third most populous state in the Union is freaking embarrassing...I just saw he's a 8% in another poll...
Hilary was at 4, 5 , 6, 7 times that before she even announced.

(26,117 posts)The thing is, he might seem like a decent choice to reasonable Republicans. I don't think the Teahadists like him, though.
