The latest Fox News national poll finds another reshuffling in the race for the 2016 Republican nomination, as Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker gets a post-announcement bump and businessman Donald Trump claims more of the spotlight.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton still dominates the Democratic race. Yet the poll also warns trouble may be ahead for her.
Among Republican primary voters, Trump captures 18 percent. Hes closely followed by Walker at 15 percent and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at 14 percent.

Yep, all we get are far fetched explanations that really insult the intelligence of the voters. Message received, y’know? 4%.
Santorum is tied for 10th place at 2%
Many agree with Trump on immigration
Many agree with Trump on illegal aliens.
A nation without borders ceases to be a nation.
A nation without the rule of law becomes anarchy.
The citizens want the laws enforced and the border secured.
The Cheap Labor Express owns most of the candidates.
¡Yeb! is their preference, but they’ll settle for any amnesty candidate.
They have many in the race.
The republican primary voters that stuck us with McCain and Romney? The same folks who put Huckleberry and Saint Sweater Vest on top of the heap?
I never underestimate the stupidity of the republican voter.
Independents tend to shade left on social issues but if he does better than a 50-50 split he will gain there too.
The true libs are fainting at the audacity of Trump to mention it but that is about 25% of the population, all black most hispanic and a few limo liberals.
Looking at the polls and securing the border polls above 80%. That’s a LOT of crossover appeal.
Weaping and wailing and gnashing of teeth in the FoxNews news room, considering the way they have been all in for Bush.
Bush at #3. That has got to sting. Rove and Perino and most of the FoxNews hosts and commentators are deeply saddened.
It is interesting if you look at page 6 of the poll where they ask how the voters would vote if Trump or Bush or Walker were not in the race. Cruz only gets 6% without Trump, 7% without Walker, and 5% without Bush. Without Trump in the race Bush would get 19% compared to his 14% now. Without Walker, Bush would get 15%. It appears that Trump is hurting Bush more than any other candidate. Without Walker, Trump got 20% up from 18%. Without Bush Trump gets 21%.
Me too. Especially when he leads in hard money contributions.
Bush does get 14% as the second choice, higher than Trump at 11% and Walker at 9%.
Fox News is still full of crap. Jeb is not even remotely close to third.
Jeb Bush only has over 12,000 donors in a country of over 330 million people.
It’s a joke! Jeb is most likely not even in the top 9. I would say 10th place at the highest.
I don’t know a single person, outside the media and Washington DC politicians, that will vote for Jeb?
Besides Trump, who is easily on top, other names I have heard from the public is Walker, Paul, Carson, Cruz, Rubio, Jindal, Huckabee, Fiorina (yes in this order). Again.... I have yet to meet one person that will vote for Jeb Bush.
Please do your own personal poll with Republicans, Conservatives, Tea Party and Constitutionalists.
I am curious....
Do we even have a single Freeper that will vote for Jeb?
I am pretty sure the answer is no.
Five were together recently— two were democrats. Very excited about Trump. Hillary hater. ABC voters
I’d vote for my cat (who actually does bear a resemblance to Trump)!
“Im skeptical of any poll of republican primary voters that has Ted Cruz at an incredibly low 4%.”
Agreed.....as 2 polls earlier this week both showed Cruz in double digits running 3rd.
Cruz has been successfully demonized and ridiculed by the MSM as an extremist kook.
Cruz has been triple teamed by the MSM/Dems/GOPe and ground down.
If the GOPe fought the Dems half as hard as they attack conservatives there would be a GOP POTUS right now.
Agree the GOPe has also contributed to the politics of personal destruction aimed at conservatives.
