A post-debate poll from Citizens United — provided exclusively to Breitbart News — finds that GOP frontrunner Donald Trump remains the clear favorite in the field, with almost 31 percent of the vote.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) gets 18.5 percent, Dr. Ben Carson earns 17.4 percent, and former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina takes 11.3 percent. Combined, that’s 78 percent for the four consummate political outsiders in the race. Washington establishment candidates, including Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, trail badly.
“Seventy eight percent of our respondents have with their vote voiced their frustration with the Washington establishment, and have cast their ballot with outsiders,” Citizens United president Dave Bossie told Breitbart News. “For the other dozen candidates to split up the other 20 plus percent is very stunning. Then if you look at the first and second choice, you have Donald Trump and Ted Cruz in a virtual tie.”(continued)

The Fox poll is a real poll unlike the internal poll of CU members.
It’s still early, there’s plenty of time for the polls to change. We will be seeing fluctuations as time goes on. Cruz is an excellent candidate, I’m not worried about his standing in the polls now, as more candidates drop out of the race Cruz will get more coverage. Cruz also has the money and the ground game to last well after the early primary states.
It made it ok for anyone to spend their money on elections.
.
The Fox polls like all of the MSM polls are totally fake, because they depend on qualifier/disqualifier questions to guide their sample BEFORE the poll begins.

LOL Denial just ain’t a river in Egypt.
And you are deep in it for sure.
We will see when the votes are totaled.
I’m OK with Cruz in second place. I dont’ want Carson or Fiorina.
WINNING!!! ...And great to see Cruz move up. Trump/Cruz!!!
I’m a Cruz fan myself, but I may settle for a Trump/Cruz ticket. Cruz will will be a great wingman and help Trump with the political stuff -— and if Trump gets bored with being President and decides not to run for a second term, then Cruz is right there to be the President we have wanted and been denied for way too long.
You’re saying Trump wouldn’t have been able to spend his own money? I thought CU affected corporations not individuals.
That is extraordinary.
no, obviously anyone can spend their own money.
What the court said is that anyone can spend as much as they want to promote someone else’s candidacy, or ballot proposition.
.
Totally encouraging results!
The GOPe tried to destroy Reagan, too; and that didn’t work out too well for them.
Cruz is a “happy warrior” fighting for the constitution and the American people.
So I don’t see how that is affecting this election. I would think if anything the GOPe candidates would have even more to spend.
I agree.
“The Fox polls like all of the MSM polls are totally fake, because they depend on qualifier/disqualifier questions to guide their sample BEFORE the poll begins.”
Yep. Just like an MAI appraisal on commercial real estate. We used to call them MAI = Made As Instructed.
