Citizens United Poll: Trump Surges, Rubio Collapses (Cruz a strong third place)
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | June 24, 2015 | Alex Swoyer

Posted on 06/24/2015 11:24:03 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Results of a new poll show that Americans are fed up with career politicians and the establishment Republican base. In a Citizens United poll, Dr. Ben Carson came out as the top pick out of 2016 GOP presidential candidates.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker came in second by just .1 percent.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) came in third at 15.9 percent, and real estate mogul Donald Trump came in at fourth place with 13.1 percent.

Citizens United, an organization for limited government, surveyed its members across America to find out whom they are currently supporting in the full field of GOP presidential candidates.

According to Citizens United, roughly 4,300 individuals took its online survey – not a scientific poll – on June 16th to June 23rd....

It is 8-9 months before primary season. I’ll pay attention then.

Rubio is all about building a national donor base so he can go back home to Florida and run for governor with the ability to raise a large war chest quickly. His secondary function is to throw his support to Bush. The risk is Rubio outperforms Bush in the Florida primary itself.

Trump will do well on the west coast of Florida, maybe up around the Cape. Too many people on the southeast coast know him.

That’s not how it works these days. The campaign is on and has been going on for some time now.

I'll take these polls a big more seriously after the debates. Note that I said “more seriously.” I don't totally trust any “poll” other than the vote count on election night.

I wonder what McConnell, et al, have on Rubio. His recent vote, the 60th, will tank him.

I have already made my choice, or should I say ruled out all but one so far.

My problem is that my state gets to primary after all the RINO and open primary states have had a chance to weed out the conservatives. By the time I get to vote I have confidence that my choice will be Jeb, Rubio, or Huckabee. That means I stay home for 2016.

Give me a break. It was a survey of their own members.

It already is. To paraphrase Eomer: Look for your candidate, but do not trust the hope. It has forsaken these lands...

I could vote for Trump for the same reason I voted for Pete DuPont back when he ran- neither of them could be bought.

a survey of the membership of Citizens United, not a public opinion poll

FWIW, 16 years ago, before GWB's total financial dominance made his nomination unstoppable, Steven Forbes and Dan Quayle were serious candidates. Let the pundits whine about alternate spellings of potato all they want, Quayle was a heck of a statesman as VP.

Think how different the world would be today if we had eight years of Forbes/Quayle or Quayle/Forbes.
