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 state’s 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...."

Others (less than ½ of 1% each)
Undecided 19
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.
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....
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.
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.
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.

survey is +/- 3.3%, for the Democrats it’s +/-5.0%, and for the Republicans it’s +/-5.1%.
Interesting since I didn't even think the State of Washington was in play. Also, the headline makes it sound like Clinton is running for the Republican nomination.
Has the low information voter even heard of any candidate running except Clinton?
Commie freeloader country. So what else is new? Washington is full of the kind of people de Toqueville warned us about.
HRC means everything to the American people even if they don’t know why.
piece of $#!+ state, Washington.
