A new poll shows New Hampshire Republicans leaning toward Scott Walker over Jeb Bush, with Rand Paul, who announced his candidacy and visited the Granite State this week, in third place.
The NH1 poll released Friday shows Walker, the Wisconsin governor, leading Bush, 23 percent to 17 percent outside the margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. Paul, the first-term Kentucky senator, is at 15 percent.
The three leaders are the only candidates to register in double figures. The next tier is led by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (9 percent), who entered the race last month, and businessman Donald Trump (8 percent), who is toying with a potential candidacy for the second consecutive election cycle.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who is expected to join the race next month, is next with 7 percent, following by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at 6 percent. Rounding out the field are former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (6 percent), businesswoman Carly Fiorina (2 percent) and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry (2 percent).

Cruz is acceptable and Paul might be acceptable if he stays firm on immigration. Walker I do not trust on the issue. Thus far those are the only two on my map also.
Well then your preferred candidate makes perfect sense. However I will point out that both Cruz and Paul are very good on the abortion issue too. I would keep either as an acceptable second choice.
He’s a politician and we need to be big boys and girls. We’re never going to get 100% of what the average FReeper wants, but we can win and succeed in getting a lot of what we want. It takes grit to do that and politicians like Walker who know how to savage the media in the kindest way possible.
