"...6 Republican candidates hit double digits when it comes to who voters within their party want to be their nominee. Scott Walker leads with 18% to 15% for Marco Rubio, 13% for Mike Huckabee, 11% for Ted Cruz, and 10% each for Jeb Bush and Ben Carson. Chris Christie (6%), Rand Paul (5%), and Rick Perry (3%) round out the field.
Walker has the slight overall edge on the Republican field due to his strength with voters who identify themselves as 'very conservative.' He gets 28% to 18% for Cruz, 16% for Huckabee, and 10% for Rubio. Rubio's greatest strength is with those who label themselves as 'somewhat conservative'- he gets 23% to 13% for Bush, 2% for Walker, and 10% for Carson.
On the Democratic side Hillary Clinton continues to be dominant at 57% to 24% for Bernie Sanders, 4% for Martin O'Malley, 2% for Jim Webb, and 1% for Lincoln Chafee. This is another data point showing that Sanders has far separated himself from the rest of the Democratic field in the race for 2nd place he has 58% name recognition with the O'Malley/Webb/Chafee trio only coming in the 26-31% range.

Charles Singleton walked out of the Grand Ballroom at the Cox Convention Center after Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's speech at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference today and grabbed a pollster.
He had heard enough. The 80-year old from Oklahoma City wants the governor for his next president.
"He talked to the common person, " Singleton said."He's a wonderful Christian and I really think he would be a fabulous president."
Sitting in the middle of the room where speeches from potential Republican candidates will continue for the rest of the week, Jennifer Sump and her husband both nodded in agreement with Walker.
Sump, who drove from Luther, said she loved Walker's stance on national safety and education.
"He just spoke so passionately and I loved everything he said, " Sump said." This is just so exciting to hear from people like him. Feels like a once in a lifetime opportunity."
The poll, released Friday, comes after controversy surrounding the former secretary of states use of personal email and amid questions about the identity of donors to the Clinton Foundation. Fifty-three percent of likely Democratic voters in California support Clinton, down from 59 percent in February.
On the Republican side, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and Scott Walker lead a crowded field...."

The huckster beats Cruz??????????????? Where do these people come from?
Why is Lincoln Chafee polling so low???/s Democrats love when GOPe join the Democrat party.
There’s ONE democrat to pick from, there are 10 or so republican nominees.
All the dems have to do is encourage a ton of people to run, so instead of one of them getting all of our votes, 10 of them get 1/10th of our vote each. So many people are ready to fix the country, but the only person that will deal the coup de grace is the only one liberals will vote for. Wonderful.
PPP is a left-leaning, liberal idea-espousing polling firm. Washington is a very blue state. Number of people polled is approx. 800.
Dunno what time of day, dunno if they are all urban dwellers or rural, dunno income level, dunno level of edumacashyun....
Yes. I know.
“Washington is a very blue state”
That is an understatement, creepy Socialists Sanders getting 24%.
Hillary’s got a glass jaw. That’s why she is in hiding while she is campaigning.
If she were to ever come up against Cruz or Walker, she’d melt like butta.
She’s overexposed and her dirty laundry is hanging on the line.
CA, OR and WA, while forevermore chained to the floor of the democrat plantation, are still fertile ground for fundraising and each state has a small handful of competitive House seats, so once the primaries are finished, the GOP nominee shouldn’t ignore them altogether.
The key is keeping those three states in perspective and not to harbor delusional thoughts about them somehow being “in play” in a Presidential election year, because they aren’t.
You are right.
There are strong pockets of voters for the GOP in these states, and they’re straining on the chain to help out.
Their eggs are all in one basket - "Hillary" and "Hillary" has big "Clinton Cash" problems being that Democrats are always want to seem against big money and Wall Street. Not only that but Hillary is Benghazi. And her wiping the email server looks worse and worse by the day.
I'm predicting their will be more dems running very soon. Hopefully someone like Chuck Schumer or Dingy Harry - hack jobs that will keep the party from moving to the middle.
Without being able to move to the middle, the dems are toast.
