Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker are tied atop a crowded 2016 GOP primary field in the early state of New Hampshire, with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush slipping into a tie for third with Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, who picked up some support since a separate poll was released in February.
Mr. Paul and Mr. Walker were the first choice of 12 percent of GOP primary voters, followed by Mr. Bush and Mr. Rubio at 11 percent apiece and businessman Donald Trump at 8 percent, according to the Bloomberg Politics/Saint Anselm poll.
Next were New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at 7 percent, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas at 6 percent, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson at 5 percent, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee at 4 percent and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina at 3 percent.
Mr. Cruz, Mr. Paul, Mr. Rubio, Ms. Fiorina, Mr. Carson and Mr. Huckabee have formally entered the presidential race, but others are expected to jump in as well.
Mr. Bush had been in first in a Bloomberg/Saint Anselm poll released in February at 16 percent, with Mr. Paul at 13 percent and Mr. Walker at 12 percent. Mr. Christie was next at 10 percent, followed by Mr. Carson and Mr. Huckabee at 6 percent apiece, Mr. Rubio at 5 percent, and Mr. Cruz, Mr. Trump, and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal at 3 percent apiece.

Excellent news!
Go Scott, Go!
This kind of news is why the Cruz Contingent is on constant attack on the Walker threads.
See tagline.
You weren't going to vote for Cruz anyway.
That's why I'll keep volunteering time and sending money to his campaign.

Scott Walker ties at the top of a new New hampshire poll.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
Take your own advice.
Your post contains misinformation about me. I'm thinking that's deliberate.
see tagline.
I don't trust push polls. The only poll that counts is the voters.

Your posting history speaks volumes.

If my posting history speaks volumes, it tells me the misinformation by you is deliberate.
Confirming the information in my tag line.
I think that any poll that relies on telephone information is wildly inaccurate. Everybody uses cell phones now, and many have disconnected their ground lines altogether. Even if you still have a ground line, most people have phones with Caller ID. I don’t answer any “Caller unavalable”, “Anonymous”, or otherwise unidentifiable calls; and I don’t know anybody who does. So, we are always left out fo the polls.
Reputations mean something.
I encourage everyone to read your posting history.

If it was just a case of cell vs. land, the polls’ errors would not all be in favor of leftists. Such would be almost a statistical impossibility.
So far so good, especially because Scott has not yet declared. Looks like he is holding back to make a really big splash when he does. Then, if he scores a wipe out in Iowa, he’s positioned to blow everybody else away. GO Scott, GO!!
what’s interesting is that no matter how these polls go up and down it’s Scott Walker and....
Rand Paul shouldn’t even be there.
so Paul’s little phone monkeys are on it -
Rand Paul On Shutdown: "Even Though It Appeared I Was Participating In It, It Was A Dumb Idea"I said throughout the whole battle that shutting down the government was a dumb idea. Even though it did appear as if I was participating in it, I said it was a dumb idea. And the reason I voted for it, though, is that it's a conundrum. Here's the conundrum. We have a $17 trillion debt and people at home tell me you can't give the president a blank check. We just can't keep raising the debt ceiling without conditions. So unconditionally raising the debt ceiling, nobody at home wants me to vote for that and I can't vote for that. But the conundrum is if I don't we do approach these deadlines. So there is an impasse. In 2011, though, we had this impasse and the president did negotiate. We got the sequester. If we were to extend the sequester from discretionary spending to all the entitlements we would actually fix our problem within a few years.[Posted on 11/19/2013 12:16:51 PM by Third Person]
Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften war stance...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.[Posted on 01/31/2013 5:08:50 PM PST by xzins]
Rand Paul's immigration speech...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.[Posted on 03/19/2013 7:04:07 AM PDT by Perdogg]
Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.
Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.
Let's start that conversation by acknowledging we aren't going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.
If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...
This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.
Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.
Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reformLatinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration." ...he would create a bipartisan panel to determine how many visas should be granted for workers already in the United States and those who might follow... [and the buried lead] "Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers...[Posted on 04/21/2013 1:52:42 PM PDT by SoConPubbie]

Rand Slams Congress for Funding Egypt's Generals: 'How Does Your Conscience Feel Now?'Sen. Rand Paul is hammering his fellow senators for keeping billions in financial aid flowing to Egypt's military -- even as Cairo's security forces massacre anti-government activists.

I don’t answer the phone unless I know the name AND I feel like talking to him/her.
Pollsters? Fuggedaboudit! In U.K. they’re actually blaming “shy Torys” who gave PC answers to poll callers which skewed poll results predicting a Labor victory.
Libs claim there are fewer & fewer gun owners in America. They base this on phone polls showing a majority replying “No” to questions like “Do you own guns? If yes, then how many do you own?”
Gee....hoodathunkit?
