A new poll shows Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker sitting atop a handful of 2016 GOP contenders in the early presidential state of Iowa, notching a 10-point lead over his nearest rival.
Mr. Walker, who has not yet officially declared his candidacy, was the choice of 23 percent of Republicans, followed by Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida at 13 percent and former Florida Gov.

Washington Times (I’ve learned) is super sensitive about having more than a tiny bit of their copy excerpted.

I'm encouraged by the fact that Walker is #1. He deserves to be. His polling is especially impressive considering that Jeb has the greatest name recognition.
Walker has walked the walk. He's done an outstanding job as governor. I'd be happy with him as president.
Still, I prefer Ted. And there's a long way to go.
His lead is much more emphatic among voters saying conservatism is their top priority- with them he gets 29% to 14% for Cruz, 12% for Paul, and 10% for Huckabee.

Thanks for posting that. I was wondering where Cruz stood.
To: Cincinatus' Wife
If Walker is gaining ground in Iowa he must be getting very wishy washy. Nice and moderate, and all that...

Another poll out this morning has Cruz way ahead. So right now the polls are meaningless. After the first two debates things will tighten up.

I don't believe in coincidence. Scott Walker is up 10 points over all of the other wannabees after, with no ambiguity, supporting jobs going to US workers over non-citizens, legal or illegal.
Whatever the DC crowd tells us, US citizens get it. Almost nobody in DC has been on our side regarding US jobs for US citizens.

His lead is much more emphatic among voters saying conservatism is their top priority- with them he gets 29% to 14% for Cruz, 12% for Paul, and 10% for Huckabee. I think you've summed it rather well there.
Among those who say "Conservatism" is their driving force...
These candidates you listed pull just 56^ of the vote. That leaves 44% of those who prefer "Conservatism" hanging out there in limbo.
You add them to those who don't prefer Conservatism and the Democrat voting in open primary elections, and you leave Jeb Bush a massive number of voters to tap into.
44% looks a bit bigger than 20% or 14%.p> We're about to hand the GOPe Jeb Bush, just who they want.

This can’t be.
Opposing mass legal immigration is suicide according to the entire commentariat, left or right.
Gasp! They can’t be....wrong, can they?
To: Cincinatus' Wife
I am supporting Cruz first, but if Walker is the candidate I'll be happy to support him.
I won't vote for the "moderate" if that's the candidate.

Preferably Cruz/Walker, but Walker/Cruz would also be acceptable.
