623 RESPONDENTS
Donald Trump 41.1%
Ted Cruz 16.2%
Ben Carson 12.8%
Jeb Bush 7.7%
Marco Rubio 7.5%
Wouldn’t vote 4.3%
Chris Christie 2.5%
Mike Huckabee 2.4%
Rand Paul 2.3%
Carly Fiorina 1.5%
John Kasich 1.2%
Jim Gilmore 0.3%
Rick Santorum 0.3%
George Pataki—%
Lindsey Graham—%
If they combined Jeb’s, Marco’s, Christie’s, and Kasich’s numbers...they still have only 18.9%.
I don’t think Carson supporters will go for one of the establishment types.
All but one of those rinos dropping out to endorse the remaining candidate would barely get them above Cruz’s numbers.
