Clinton Close to Most Republicans in Arizona [Walker leads conservative field, Bush struggles]

Public Policy Polling ^ | May 7, 2015

".....We also tested Walker against all of the other potential Democratic candidates, and he leads them by wide margins. He's up 15 on both Lincoln Chafee (41/26) and Bernie Sanders (43/28), and 18 on both Martin O'Malley (43/25) and Jim Webb (44/26). Those large deficits are largely a function of the candidates' name recognition- because it's so low, only 53-58% of Democrats even commit to voting for those folks against Walker in a general election. But at any rate Clinton is by far and away the strongest candidate for the general in the Democratic field.

The Republican primary field in Arizona is a jumbled mess, as it is most places, with 5 different candidates polling in double digits but none of them getting more than 16%. Scott Walker leads the way with that 16% followed by Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio at 14%, Rand Paul and Ben Carson at 11%, Ted Cruz at 9%, Chris Christie and Mike Huckabee at 5%, and Rick Perry at 2%.

Walker leads the field thanks to his strong support from voters who identify themselves as 'very conservative.' He gets 32% with Carson, Cruz, and Paul all tying for second back at 11%. Walker is only third with 'somewhat conservative' voters and 8th with moderates, but the strong support on the right gives him the slight overall lead.

Even though Walker's in first place by a negligible amount this poll might be most encouraging for Rubio. His 61% favorability rating is the best in the field by a large margin- Huckabee at 52% has the next best rating. Rubio is also the most frequently named second choice among Republicans in the state- overall 32% of GOP voters say he's their first or second choice with Walker at 29% and Bush at 24%.

The Arizona Republican numbers also continue several other trends we've seen in our recent polling. Chris Christie is extremely unpopular with GOP primary voters- only 22% have a favorable opinion of him to 42% with a negative one. And Jeb Bush continues to struggle with voters identifying themselves as 'very conservative'- he's in 6th place with them for the nomination and has only a 39/38 favorability rating......" Continued

Like I said, I already have.
But you would acknowledge them, because your MISGUIDED PRIDE won't allow you to.
Walker's going to stab you in the back so hard on Immigration, when he "GOES ALONG" with the DemocRATS, that you won't even be able top speak !
