Poll: Scott Walker holds seven-point advantage over GOP presidential rivals among voters in Iowa

DES MOINES, Iowa — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker holds a 7-point advantage among Iowan voters over the rest of the crowded Republican field in the scramble for the party’s 2016 nomination for president, a new Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics poll finds.

The poll, released late Saturday afternoon, shows Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee rounding out the top five in the state, which, as the first-in-the-nation caucus, is a critical battleground for presidential hopefuls.

Walker captured 17% of the vote among likely GOP caucus-goers. He first gained notice in Iowa when he sparred with Wisconsin’s labor unions in 2011, and he has played up his connections to the Hawkeye state and his background as the son of a Baptist preacher. He surged to the front of the Republican pack in the state earlier this year after a strong showing at the Freedom Summit, and became the first 2016 contender to open an office in the state.

The poll found that two-thirds of likely Republican caucus-goers view the Wisconsin governor favorably, the highest among candidates in the poll.

Real Clear Politics average has Walker in 2nd place behind Bush.

It also has Rick Perry polling behind Donald Trump. Ain't that a kicker? lol!

I'll give you a hint. He is conservative, he is from Texas, and he hasn't sanctioned Hillary by saying she was a "Great Secretary of State".

Can you guess?

I was just funnin' with ya. Why are you such a dill pickle?

So are you for Walker? If so, that would surprise me. I thought you were a member of the Perry faithful.

I am for Cruz.

So answer to my question? I answered yours.

Are you not for Perry and if not, why not?

I'm just curious. I promise I'll be nice.

Yes (like it’s some kind of secret - not) that I’d like to see Scott Walker get the nomination (he will win the WH).

Rick Perry doesn’t have a chance to take the nomination.

You seem to think that Perry has some pathway to the nomination (judging from your current posting history).

Firstly, I like Walker, but I like Cruz more. If it can't be Cruz I hope it is Walker.

And I think Trump has a better chance than Perry. But Perry is always worth having around for the laughs.

See...I told you I would be nice. :-P

Cruz/Walker 2016!

Well, Trump does have more credibility than La Raza Rick.

lol!

Trump also knows what La Raza Rick apparently doesn't or won't admit...that citizenship for ILLEGAL aliens is a GOP suicide mission.

Perry is on record as saying he is for a "pathway to citizenship" for ILLEGALs. Give ILLEGALs the right to vote and the GOP will never again win another national election. Trump gets that. Perry doesn't.
