Walker & Bush hold the lead, Cruz moving up.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Aren’t the top three within the margin of error, meaning they’re essentially tied for first place?

[knarf]

RCP a little cloudy, imo

[entropy12]

Probably since most polls have margin of error about 3-4%.

RCP looks at all polls available and provides a comprehensive report. They do not poll themselves.

NO. Bush is not even close, no matter what the “polls” say. Hear that Jeb Bush, your IT guys, and all your enablers on the talk show circuit, most notably Hugh Hewitt? Hugh has an anal retentive problem. He cannot stop denigrating his producer, Duane Patterson, with the silly line of “if I had a producer.” Duane has been recovering from cancer but classless Hugh will not let up. That is not all, he loves rubbing into Dennis Prager’s face about Dennis’ love for cigars. Dennis once replied during an on air interview how Hugh would have “to answer to his creator why he says that,” obviously annoyed but he handled it well.
Hey Hugh, get a life beyond your humor, one that does not befit your Christian faith, one you are so proud to remind us of.

Bush won’t make it, IMO. Walker will fall back when the debates happen. Cruz is going to take it. Christy couldn’t win in NJ. Trump is a sick joke. Rubio might be able to pull it off, but we already know how he feels about immigration. Cruz will take Huckabee with Christian votes. There may be a couple of also ran’s, but Cruz will dominate in the debates. Bush will have ton’s of money, but immigration, Common Core, and his last name will kill him. He might as well wear a RINO shirt now.

Bush already has this one bought. Walker will stay in long enough to siphon off votes from Cruz, drop out, and endorse Romney, I mean Bush.

[Rodamala]

If anyone really thinks conservatives, let alone, the frothing left, will tolerate another Bush, they have some pretty screwed up thoughts. Get out dem Bushes. The right is solidly behind Cruz because he will completely crush whatever hare-brained Alinskyite the RATs put up there to run. The left and uniparty elitists of the GOP are terrified.

[erod]

Cruz’s surge looks really impressive.

[conservativejoy]

I expect at some point Cruz will take the lead and stay there. The more people see of Cruz the more they like him.
My husband has started to call Cruz “the other man”. :)

[zzwhale]

let bush run as a democrat.... that is what he is...
actually he is a guy who will say or do anything to get elected... read my lips.... or was it hips... worst come to worst he can join the carlyle group and thrive on crony contracts....

[SmokingJoe]

Yeah, but most of the polls they are using for their averages are from before Ted Cruz declared that he was running. The few polls post Ted Cruz declaring that I have seen have him making considerable gains.
Let’s not forget how far off the RCP averages were for last November’s congressional elections, mainly because they simply take all these polls (including the clearly partisan, biased ones and ones from dodgy outfits) and simply average them all out.

[entropy12]

The latest poll is from PPP, and Cruz has surged to #3 place from way behind.
