It is an online poll. Useless.

Margin of Error creates havoc in surveys with many candidates. If the MoE is, say ±4.5%, a candidate like Huckabee who has, say 8% support in reality can register between 3.5% to 12.5% without moving out of that range.

A number of these polls over time can show trends, so they are still useful. Obviously Trump is on top. Carson is also hitting above his weight. Walker has lost ground. We just don't know how much.
