A brand-new national NBC/WSJ poll finds Jeb Bush leading the crowded Republican presidential field, with 22% of GOP primary voters saying he's their first choice. He's followed by Scott Walker at 17%, Marco Rubio at 14%, and Ben Carson at 11%. While Jeb had a similar five-point lead in our April NBC/WSJ poll, you see his current position has strengthened when you look inside the numbers of this new poll. (It was conducted during the buildup and coverage of Bush's official presidential announcement on June 16.) The latest survey shows him ahead among self-identified conservative GOP primary voters -- when he was in third place in April behind Rubio and Walker. And as we unveiled on Sunday, 75% of Republican primary voters in our new poll say they could see themselves supporting Bush -- up from 70% in April and 49% in March. Bottom line: While Jeb has plenty of potential problems to overcome (his last name, his positions on immigration and Common Core, his desire to run a general-election campaign instead of one aimed at GOP primary voters), this poll is very good news for him.
Who gets left off that first debate stage?
The NBC/WSJ poll measured 16 GOP candidates in our horserace question. And here are the 10 Republicans who make our poll's Top 10 -- the criteria being used for the first GOP debate in August -- and the six who get left off:
Jeb Bush 22% Scott Walker 17% Marco Rubio 14% Ben Carson 11% Mike Huckabee 9% Rand Paul 7% Rick Perry 5% Ted Cruz 4% Chris Christie 4% Carly Fiorina 2%

Chuck Todd, huh?
Well i know i for one always hang my hat on a NBC/WSJ poll!!!/////////////////////
WSJ = Rupert Murdoch’s amnesty minions.
The RNC wants to force you to vote to give up the rule of law.
I will NEVER vote for ANY cheap labor importers.
Agree!
We need to support more RINOs in the debates to split the establishment vote this time. Otherwise our vote gets split again and we get a Mcain or a Romney.
I do not discount these polls. They are simply a snapshot.
But I do discount the idea that the GOPe will allow any of the Tea Party Conservatives to be their nominee. There is no way on God’s green earth that Cruz, Walker, Perry, Paul, Fiorina or Carson will be their candidate against Clinton. One of these might be the VP nominee, probably Fiorina or Carson.
Bush or Christie will be the nominee. probably Bush.
Where will that leave the conservative wing of the Republican party? Out in the cold, same as we are now.
Jeb Bush 22%....TedCuz 4%.
My shiny hiny.
This poll is worthless.
Where will that leave the conservative wing of the Republican party? Out in the cold, same as we are now.
It will leave Conservatives with no choice but to start a third party, the sooner the better as far as i’m concerned! For those who say we can’t do it for this reason or that reason please explain to me whats going to change for the better with the two party system we have in place at this time?
WE. That won’t work. Many here only vote libertarian.
THAT is what I have been saying for damn near 20 years. I seriously doubt it will happen in my lifetime. But then I doubt this nation will still be around 15 years from now. My America has been lost for a long time and I do not see how this banana republic on steroids we have now, can last much longer.
Nnnyyaaahhh... don’t believe it... JB is just a set up guy for Hitlery...
Not credible - Chuck Turd
There are no "polls".
They just make these numbers up.
How many people do you know who are excited for a Jeb Bush candidacy?
That is all.....
Polls like this are about as dumb as those that believe them.
But, if they are true, I have only one thing to say, “ Congratulations President Clinton.”
Everyday there is a new poll out atotally different line up. This early on its mostly name recognition.
Yep, with Rand and Perry ahead of him too. LOL. Not quite.
