OK, for starters, the "poll" is about as unscientific as it could be. The only way you could get a less scientific poll would be to go to the campaign hq for one of the hopefuls and ask their staff to respond to the questions. To extrapolate from that a "split" of the GOP is preposterous and disingenuous. It is also unhelpful if we are presented with misleading information. As for the characterizations in the headline, there is a big difference between a "leftist" and a "liberal". "Liberal" is a relative term. "Leftist" describes and ideology. There are certainly plenty of moderate and liberal Republicans. I don't know of any "leftist" Republicans.
