GOP presidential hopeful Ted Cruz is getting a big polling bump after his announcement that he will seek his party's nomination, Public Policy Polling reports.
Support for the first-term Texas senator, who opened his national campaign office in Houston on Tuesday, rose from 5 percent to 16 percent, PPP noted, pushing Cruz into the top-tier of Republicans who will likely make a primary run.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is leading the pack, followed by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and then Cruz, whose popularity with conservatives in his party is growing, PPP said of its latest survey of likely GOP primary contenders. Bush and Walker narrowly lead polling in New Hampshire, one of the early primary states, according to a Suffolk University poll reported last week by The Wall Street Journal.
Others in the PPP survey include Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who ties retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson with 10 percent, followed by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee at 6 percent apiece. Rounding out the bottom are New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie with 4 percent and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry at 3 percent.
PPP noted of Cruz's gains in a release Wednesday: "Cruz has really caught fire with voters identifying themselves as 'very conservative' since his announcement....

So you admit you’re Karl Rove!
I am going to make a bold prediction today:
If Cruz is the nominee, he will get more than 50% of the hispanic vote. Mark it down.
The Left will be birthers now
Then they’ll be asking for a punch in the mouth.
Just think,
a “White Hispanic” in the “White House”...
Bold prediction. The ones who are here legally probably will.
exactly!
What’s the matter with YOU ?
Sorry, I GOT very suspicious WHEN... in 2012 the Republican Party selected AND elected Myth Romney A KNOWN DEMOCRAT COLLABORATOR as candidate....
AND REJECTED.. several well known conservatives some very HARSHLY...
a guy everybody KNEW WOULD LOSE....
Heidi Cruz is an investment banker that worked for Goldman-Sachs... AND is a CFR Member...
MY EARS WENT UP..... if true... and of course IT IS... i.e. a TELL’..
I’m still “a Rube”.. but a very suspicious one..
Just Cruzing along.
This is welcome good news indeed.
Hope he reaches the top of all polling and stays there.
Hope most of the other canadates drop out, and soon.
So you admit youre Karl Rove!
“as you wish”- Princess Bride...
Then there's Scott Walker. Mis-steps about ethanol, private statements that negated his new vision for stopping the invasion of the US, on spending state money on a sports stadium and he's becoming a bit more suspicious. I'm wondering if he isn't the establishment "Plan B" if they can't get Jeb or Christie.
Wouldn't it be fun if Ted Cruz and Rand Paul are top contenders when the debates start?
drop out? they haven’t entered!
Cruz is the ONLY one officially in the race!
What you meant to say is; I hope this discourages other potential candidates from entering the race.
In particular I hope Rand the nut job Paul, and the Huckster stay the hell out.
Jebbie is the frontrunner because the Bushes say so; they carry a lot of weight in FL and TX, the latter where Jebbie was born, unlike GHWB and GWB.
CRUZ TO VICTORY OR GET BUSHED!
Cruzing to the top.
All of us need to get behind one canadate ( Cruz ) early and support him and donate.
People need to get creative with finding ways to raise money like car washes, bake sales, finding lose change around the house.
Like the victory gardens of WWII every one needs to get involved.
Yes.....an amazing thought and one I am working to see come to fruition!
If Cruz is the nominee, he will get more than 50% of the hispanic vote. Mark it down.
Not everyone who works on Wall Street ( the generic term for ALL financial floors/trading/investing ) is a lefty/corrupt/lying/1%er who should be seen as "THE ENEMY" ! You've fallen for crazy propaganda put out by those who want to destroy America. That doesn't help things; rather, it makes you part of the problem !
AMEN !
Bingo Dingo Ringo, a double AMEN ! PLEASE LET IT BE SO GOD.
