A year out from the Iowa caucuses, potential presidential candidate and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has taken the lead among Republicans, an Iowa Poll published Saturday indicates. With 15 percent support, Walker leads a number of other potential candidates for the Republican ticket, including Rand Paul, Ben Carson, Mike Huckabee and Jeb Bush, the Des Moines Register reported.
Walker is the No. 2 candidate among potential caucus attendees who support an establishment candidate as well as those who prefer one who is anti-establishment, the Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics Iowa poll indicated.
Following close behind, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky came in with 14 percent. And 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney, who bowed out of the race before the poll was released, held 13 percent. "After putting considerable thought into making another run for president, I’ve decided it is best to give other leaders in the party the opportunity to become our next nominee," Romney said Friday.
Without Romney in the race, the candidates below him picked up a few more points, including Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor and Fox News host, who picked up 3 percent.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie also picked up a couple of points, bringing him to a tie with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
While Walker is still behind at the national level, the presidential hopeful has been making gains, holding 11 percent, according to Public Policy Polling. It’s the first time he’s registered at double digits, the firm said.

Sarah needs to be in the Senate.
Based on what I know now, I want this to come down to Walker vs. Cruz.
Why didn’t Cruz do better?
Something seems fishy
Please stop screaming.
We’ve got a long way to go, and a lot of vetting to do before we can all get behind a single candidate.
Cruz is the one that’s needed to save the sinking ship that is America. Walker is the guy to run the ship when it’s seaworthy again.
Airtight logic, my friend. Keep 'em coming.
Thank you for that breath of fresh air on this sinking thread.
Cruz is the man we need at the helm, period.
Cruz has NO experience running a state, he has the same experience as Obammie!!!!!!
The Senate is too much of a corrupting influence. It eats souls.
So true, just look at the shoddy work he's done in WI.
Which one......Walker or Romney?
How do we square this with Walker’s clear support for a “pathway to citizenship” for illegal aliens?
You've obviously got a lot of catching up to do about Ted Cruz. He was Texas Solicitor General, and argued before the Supreme Court nine times. He also has a resume as long as your arm and a personal bio that is impressive beyond words.
Seriously - you really need to read up on this man before comparing him to an empty suit like Obama.
I'm not saying that Scott Walker's a bad guy. Far from it. I just don't think that he's got what it takes to whup the Socialists and lead this country back to greatness.
He's a great manager, and obviously has stones. I commend him for what he did in standing up to the unions in his state, but he just doesn't impress me as the sort of historic champion that this crossroads in history demands.
I prefer someone with the blood of the Framers running through their veins, and for my money, Ted Cruz is that man.
I posted to the wrong guy, I meant to post to the person you were quoting, the one who said he did a lousy job in WI.
DID YOU KNOW THAT YOUR CAPS LOCK IS STUCK????
BTW, I WON’T BE VOTING FOR Walker, I’LL BE SUPPORTING TED CRUZ.
TED CRUZ-TED CRUZ-TED CRUZ-TED CRUZ-TED CRUZ-TED CRUZ-TED CRUZ-TED CRUZ-TED CRUZ-TED CRUZ-TED CRUZ-TED CRUZ-TED CRUZ-TED CRUZ-TED CRUZ-TED CRUZ-TED CRUZ-TED CRUZ-TED CRUZ-TED CRUZ-TED CRUZ-TED CRUZ-TED CRUZ-TED CRUZ.
And what’s with this ‘manager’ bit?
Have more faith in your guy Cruz, and you won’t have to belittle his opponent.
I could live with Walker as POTUS and Cruz as Senate Majority Leader.
is there a difference?
It’s hard to stay upbeat, when the Republican primary voters make bad choices repeatedly.
Looking at all the pictures I've run across - not much. They seem to be bosom buddies. Not good.
Ted Cruz has no bearing on what I think of Scott Walker. Scott Walker's in charge of that.
