Poll: Ted Cruz Leads 2016 GOP Field
US News & World Report ^ | 9/27/2013 | Rebekah Metzler

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is already reaping benefits from his 21-hour stand against President Barack Obama's new health care law, as a new poll shows him leading the way for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.

Cruz garnered 20 percent support compared to 17 percent for Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., 14 percent for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, 11 percent for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and 10 percent each for Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., according to a survey by Public Policy Polling released Friday. Cruz improved 8 percent from a similar poll in July.

I think this was Cruz' "I paid for this microphone" moment.

That moment came late in Reagan's campaign. Cruz has plenty of time for more such moments.

well Cruz owns free republic, that’s for sure!

I have never seen this sort of unanimity for any candidate in this forum!

Ted Cruz may not win this, but he’s fighting for the American people and he’s going down swinging.”

Exactly right.

We’ve had to put up with Dole, McCain and Romney, and both lose the war and lose the message.

Cruz may lose a general election.

But at least he will show the rest of America the path forward.

(That said....I remain optimistic. Maybe there’s enough of “us” out there. We just have to be stirred!).

Polls report on fast-changing emotional reactions. They are not based on reasoned, intelligent appraisals of candidates.

Polls report on fast-changing emotional reactions. They are not based on reasoned, intelligent appraisals of candidates.

This is why there are tracking polls. The trend is very positive. Plus...

21 hours is a long time to make a reasonable appraisal.

I don’t see how we will survive three more years with so much human waste/debris in DC.

Like someone said upthread, FR has never been so united behind a candidate.

Plus, they may try to portray him as a dunce, but can you imagine him debating Hilary?

This is great. Spread the word.

Zero’s getting a little giddy. We can turn that in our favor.

Ted Cruz would totally kick Hitlary’s ass..it would be hilarious to watch..I hope she will wear a dark pants suit, those poop stains are murder to get rid of..but the media will protect her like they do every Dem, it wont be easy but it can be done..I fear the GOP Establishment more than the Dems..its the RINOS in the party that want to destroy Cruz more than the Dems do..at least with Dems, they are supposed to hate Ted Cruz, but you just watch, the GOP Establishment progressive hacks will do everything and anything to destroy him..but I have his back because he is a good man who loves this country and is doing everything in his power to save it
