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....

i can’t take these polls seriously.
I think I saw an article where ben carson was leading posted here last week.
LOL! The far left radical Jeb is below Trump lol lol lol. Gee, what will the media and the GOP-Es do now?
glad to see Jeb’s not in the top 3.
Ping!
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 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.
[It is 8-9 months before primary season. Ill pay attention then.]
It’s all but over by then.
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
What was the range of dates of the poll?
Think how different the world would be today if we had eight years of Forbes/Quayle or Quayle/Forbes.
