Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rand Paul (R-KY) lead an online Tea Party presidential poll while Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie comes in dead last. 

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is second to last with former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, the failed 2012 GOP presidential candidate who is now associated with the conservative-bashing  "No Labels" group that is a refuge for those in the bipartisan permanent political class. The Washington Examiner reported that grassroots conservatives also strongly support Dr. Ben Carson, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. 

Cruz has the support of 84% of those polled online. Paul got the support of 80%. Christie got the support of 15% while Bush and Huntsman received 29% each. 

It should be noted that the online poll of 62,000 activists for TheTeaParty.net and the conservative group Contract from America is not scientific, but it nonetheless gives a good snapshot of the sentiment of Tea Party activists 

“There’s a resounding message in these poll results for the Washington establishment. This is not a survey of casual Republicans or sometimes voters. These are activists who pound the pavement, make the phone calls, and cast their votes in every election every year,” Todd Cefaratti, founder of TheTeaParty.net, said. “They have a message for the candidates of status quo Washington: We are coming for you. We will beat you. And we will send you packing from the halls of power,” he added.

Here are the results:

1. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz-84 percent.

2. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul-80 percent.

3. Dr. Ben Carson-77 percent.

4. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker-70 percent.

5. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin-64 percent.

[...]

19. New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte-30 percent.

20. Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr.-29 percent.

21. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush-29 percent.

22. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie-15 percent.

	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Ayotte? In a Tea Party poll?

[Theodore R.]

I nearly a third of Tea Party movement people favor Jebbie, the Tea Party is already infiltrated with fifth columnists.

It's early and the numbers of conservatives unwilling to play the "Lessor of two evils" game has swelled since the 2012 Romney debacle.

Add in the talk show hosts talking like "never again" and all of the Tea-Party centric publications like Breitbart and TheBlaze, etc. and it's looking pretty bleak for the business-as-usual crowd over at the GOP-E.

You also have to consider the fact of the troubles that people like GOP-E Rove are having raising money.

Me thinks the tables have turned.

[ObamahatesPACoal]

As bad as Huntsman.

[KC_Lion]

Sounds Good to Me!

You betcha!
Why not win with the best?

[Windflier]

Why not win with the best?

Absolutely. I just voted for Sarah in a different 2016 Presidential poll. She's still a contender.

[napscoordinator]

Yuk. I want Scott Walker who has proven himself with results. Crus is a good talker and has not done a thing to prove that he can have results. Even his filibuster resulted in nothing. Scott Walker all the way!!!!! Well that is if we want to win the Presidency.
