Poll: Would You Pick Christie, Paul, Cruz, Rubio As 2016 Republican Presidential Nominee? (FReep)

WLNY-TV ^ | April 14, 2015

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas got the ball rolling: On March 23, he announced he was running for president and became the first Republican to enter the 2016 presidential race. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky quickly followed suit and became the second Republican to officially declare his candidacy.

Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida officially joined the race Monday. They could all face New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in the Republican primary.

Though the governor of the Garden State hasn’t officially declared, Christie has formed a political action committee to explore a run is in New Hampshire for a week full of speeches and tours....

Ted Cruz 54.57%
Rand Paul 21.01%
Someone else 10.66%
Marco Rubio 6.95%
Chris Christie 5.29%
Don't know 1.51%

If this is a poll to try to help boost interest in Christie, backfire comes to mind.

Feel good poll - wonder why they left Walker off it - the addition would have created different dynamics.

“No - what’s needed is someone who’s got the blood of the Framers running through their veins.”

Roger that!!! This business about the next President needing to come from the ranks of governors is vapid nonsense coming from establishment types to try to keep out Cruz/Rubio/Paul. What I care about is their principles, world view, and reverence for our founding ideals.

Ted Cruz over 53% right now! My choice, as well.

[JJHLH1]

Ted Cruz! And it's not even close.

[JJHLH1]

Senator Cruz leading with over 52% of the vote. I like it!!

[<1/1,000,000th%]

I see Scott Walker’s not even on the list.

He hasn’t declared his candidacy. Those folks have. Although I’m pretty sure Krispy Kreme hasn’t either, but it’s a New York site.

Ted Cruz 52.22%
Rand Paul 24.19%
Someone else 10.69%
Marco Rubio 6.78%
Chris Christie 4.69%

Yay, Ted Cruz! Go, Ted! Go!!

Sarah Palin would be an awesome Secretary of Interior in a Cruz Administration.

I voted for my Senator and my choice for the next President of the United States, Ted Cruz. But, in all fairness, I wonder what the poll would look like if Scott Walker was in the mix. Guess I need to re-read the article to find out why he wasn’t included. The poll is NOT just those who have “declared their candidacy” because Christie is in the poll. Possibly the Walker supporters voted for “Someone else”, but, that vote total could be divided up by at least 4 other possible contenders.

Ted Cruz 51.59%

I prefer Cruz out of this field.
Don’t like Rubio’s squishiness on immigration.
Christie is too far left.
Rand Paul is a maybe, if Cruz doesn’t make the final round of nominations.

...NOTA...

You mean Jeb? (Of course; this is New York...it could represent Trump...)
