Poll: Rubio surges to second, just 3 points behind Romney
Washington Examiner ^ | January 23, 2015 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 01/26/2015 11:15:19 AM PST by Din Maker

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s apparent decision to speed up his entry into the growing field of 2016 Republican presidential primary challengers is coming at the perfect time, as a new poll out Friday shows him moving into second place behind repeat candidate Mitt Romney.

What’s more, the gap in the new Zogby Analytics poll is tiny, just three percentage points. And Rubio, the freshest hopeful to show a determined interest in the race, is also tied with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

The poll finds that women especially favor Rubio and also that he has a lot of room to gain with men, who typically vote in majorities with Republicans in the general election.

Romney does better among men (20%) than women (13%) and among self-identified Republicans (19%). Bush also does better among men (16%) than women (10%) and gets 14% support among self-identified Republicans (14%). But Rubio is receiving 22% support among women to only 4% of men and does equally well (16% each) among both self-identified Republicans and conservatives.

NO personal attacks...in posts. If they ever start enforcing that one, it will clean out half the people on this website. You and some others on this website need to be careful. You are borderline promoting Censorship.

This website is private property and the owner, Jim Robinson, reserves the right to run it as he sees fit. The American system of free enterprise (before leftist regulations came along) allows a business owner to refuse service to anyone. The boss has stated that FR is not a liberal debating society and has unequivocally stated that he is not fair and balanced. As a pro-God, pro-life, pro-gun source for news and informed opinion, I'm elated that the boss runs it this way since it keeps liberals away. Not all opinions and viewpoints are equally valid and, as for me, I don't come here to see any taint of leftism.

We are all honored to be Jim's guests here. And, hypothetically, should my viewpoint ever stray (which it won't) from those set forth as core principles of the founder, I'll usher myself out quietly...and without a self-serving, woe is me opus.

Simply put, and as I personally see it, Conservatism does have a monopoly on the truth. That's why Free Republic is my primary source for breaking news and insightful analysis. I'm biased to the truth. If that makes me unfair, so be it.

As that famous line in the movie “A Few Good Men” said: “You can’t handle the truth.”

One thing, Din: I am certain that soft-on-illegals open borders policy will hasten the death of America, so I can’t imagine becoming truly excited about anyone who supports it. Including Scott Walker. Bob

If you think that supporters for the next President of the United States Scott Walker are liberals then we are more in trouble than thought. I think you are wacky enough to think that.

Oh wow. You sure are intelligent in your posts. Nothing substantive. Just lies. So typical of you. One day it would be nice to get something truth from you. I don’t hold out much hope though.

Correction, people don't like him because he betrayed his promise and tried to push illegals to amnesty.

Yup, I really liked him ALOT until he came up with his amnesty plan and started sidling up to the GOPe. Mr. OG and I heard him speak (on tv) a couple years ago and he is such a great speaker when he talks about how much he loves America, and how hard his family worked - amazingly inspiring individual. It's a real pity he's getting buddy-buddy with the old farts in the GOP.

And as far as the racist thing, I think it would be great to have a Cruz or Rubio to help bring in the hispanic vote - yup, I'm apparently racist (it's not a race, it's cultural)

I don’t trust him because he’s a Senator. Even Cruz has a tough time gaining trust being a member of that band of jackals.
