In June, 55,000 people voted in the Breitbart Primary, and they preferred Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker to win the GOP’s 2016 presidential nomination.
In June’s inaugural Breitbart Primary poll, Cruz finished first nationally (33%)–and in each of the first three nominating states–with Walker (23%), who has yet to declare his candidacy, right on his heels. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) finished in third with 10%, followed by Dr. Ben Carson (7%), former Texas Governor Rick Perry (5%), businessman Donald Trump (4%), former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina (4%), and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) (4%).
Voting in the Breitbart Primary will be reset every month, and Breitbart News readers are encouraged to cast their ballots in July’s Breitbart Primary here.
The complete national results for June’s Breitbart Primary are below, and results from Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina follow.
Since upsetting establishment Republican David Dewhurst in Texas’s Senate primary in 2014, Cruz has aggressively taken on the GOP establishment along with the D.C.’s bipartisan political class. Emphasizing his “bold” brand of conservatism against the “pale pastels” approach favored by establishment Republicans, Cruz has been a thorn in the side of the permanent political class by trying to defund Obamacare and President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty for illegal immigrants.

Iowa:
Among Breitbart Primary voters in Iowa, Cruz leads with 36% to Walker’s 20%, but Walker actually received more votes when second- and third-choice votes were considered. Paul came in fourth with 10% while Fiorina was fourth with 8%. Though Perry was the first choice of 6% of Iowans who voted in the Breitbart Primary, he received more total votes (10%) than Paul or Carson.

Ted Cruz Ping! Glad to hear it. The debates can’t get here soon enough!
The scores should be WEIGHTED. A third place is as good as a First Place the way they've done it.
Cruz wins. Again.
Didn’t seem like much of a battle.
Hopefully things will turn out that some real conservatives will look back with embarrassment that they every entertained the idea of picking Walker over Cruz.
The debates should really separate Cruz from the pack. He has been giving a whole bunch of media interviews in the lions den and coming out like a rose.
He is really consistent and not making errors. I expect the same in the debates.
That is assuming that Hillary will participate in debates. I agree that Cruz is far and away the best arguer in the primary field. I mean, you can't argue 9 cases successfully to SCOTUS without having the chops but it does take two to make a debate.
Hillary will look like a fool in debates, so I expect she will avoid them like the plague.
Heck, and the plague will avoid her like the plague.
Breitbart? Polls?
Aren’t they kind of skewed toward conservatives like Salon is to Lefy wackers?
I like seeing Ted Cruz up on the top though, hell yeah!
I think Daxton was referring to the primary debates against his fellow Republicans.
