SO AFTER ABOUT 4 HOURS, SCOTT WALKER IS FARTHER AHEAD IN THE INSTAPUNDIT READERS’ POLL THAN I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED. And this lead has been consistent from the very beginning.
Donald Trump Surges in New NBC News/WSJ Poll
"...Jeb Bush is the second choice of 16 percent of respondents, with Carson, Trump, and Rubio all winning the second choice spot from 11 percent of voters....."
Donald Trump Leads Republican Presidential Pack, WSJ/NBC Poll Finds
"......The new poll, whose full results will be released Monday, was based on a survey conducted July 26-30, after Mr. Trump made widely publicized controversial statements, such as when he disparaged former GOP presidential nominee John McCain.
The differences among the top-tier candidates are small enough that they are within the poll’s margin of sampling error. Still, the double-digit jump among Republicans picking Mr. Trump as their first choice—up from 1% in the June poll—was significant.
What’s more, Republicans who don’t see Mr. Trump as their first choice seem to be warming to him. The share of GOP voters who pick him as second choice rose to 11% in the new survey from 3% in June...."
Looks like a “just before the debate” poll to attempt to shift the playing field.
Rush is talking now about polling influence and the debates.
Also, sorry about the “screaming” title. I’d didn’t convert it from the source.

LOL Gilmore is beating Graham and Patataki.
McCain, Graham, Ayotte. ;)
Walker has zero chance.
He’s still in his “I just got into the race” numbers.
Won’t last.
Calling all caps “screaming” is highly overrated unless a poster, like TLBShow, always uses them.
Graham 3 votes?.................Him, his wife and mom?.................
wife? I don’t believe that fits his lifestyle.
I find it difficult to imagine a US senator not being able to find an incredible wife. Something’s wrong with that picture.
He’s a less presidential looking clone of Mitt Romney. A dud on the national level. Stay in WI Scott.
Graham isn’t married, so it must be his dog.
The insiders are now pushing Walker because Rubio has lost his appeal. Walker seems to be ready to cozy up to the insiders to advance his own interests. I don’t like that.
Link?
Scott Walker leads the Instapundit Poll.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, tis Wisconsin interest ping list.

Thanks for posting the poll. It’s really quite interesting. Comparing changes from one time to the next, it doesn’t appear that any particular candidate’s supporters are loading the results, with the possible exception of Walker, of course.
Nevertheless, the distribution tends to stay the same. One would think that a candidate or two other than Walker would have latched onto it and got all their supporters over there, so you’d see, for example, Jindal adding votes a lot faster at some point. But the results appear to be pretty steady...so far anyway.
What I find most interesting is how weak Bush is. Less than 1%, only 69 votes with almost 10,000 cast. Also, one wonders where pollsters are getting Trump’s numbers if there’s anything to this one. He’s polling well behind Cruz and Fiorina besides Walker.
Anyone know what the readership of the site posting the poll is like? Just curious.
