The only female GOP presidential candidate, Carly Fiorina, former Hewlett Packard CEO, is ranking in the top ten among the GOP presidential candidates in two national polls.
Fiorina has often been critical of the female Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton and has said she wants the opportunity to debate Clinton.
Public Policy Polling released a new national poll last week, which has Fiorina tied for sixth place with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)96% and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)93% .
The PPP listed the GOP candidates in the following ranking:
Donald Trump with 19%
Scott Walker with 17%
Jeb Bush with 12%
Dr. Ben Carson and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)80% with 10%
Mike Huckabee with 8%
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Carly Fiorina, and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) with 4%
Chris Christie and John Kasich with 3%
Bobby Jindal, Rick Perry, and Rick Santorum with 1% J im Gilmore, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)47% , and George Pataki with less than 1%
Fiorina is tied for seventh place in a national Economist/YouGov poll conducted July 18th to July 20th:
Donald Trump with 28% Jeb Bush with 14% Scott Walker with 13% Ben Carson with 7% Rand Paul (R-KY) with 5% Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) tied with 4% Chris Christie, Carly Fiorina, and Mike Huckabee with 3% Lindsey Graham, Rick Perry, John Kasich with 2% Bobby Jindal and Rick Santorum with 1%
George Pataki with 0%
In order to make the first GOP presidential primary debate on August 6th in Cleveland, Ohio, Fiorina must place in the top 10 of all candidates based on the ranking from an average of five national polls, according to the criteria set out by the host of the debate, Fox News.

I like a Trump/Palin Ticket…
As for the rest I like Walker…Cruz should have run for governor of Texas…
The Huckster is Bill Clinton without the sex scandals and WHY
anyone here is supporting him is beyond me.
“The headline is about someone with 4% support, strange”
Why is it strange? She’s in the top 10.
Good. I like her a lot. She is smart, courageous and more conservative than 95% of the Senate. Plus my liberal female cousin has said she will vote R if Fiorina is on the ticket. VP sounds right.
So are 9 others.
Your logic escapes me.
Dude. You know nothing about HP, the economy or the dot com bubble. Other than that you are right on.
“Just who are the coddling, suckling idiots that are supporting the effeminate milquetoast Senator Graham anyway?”

Good news, Carly is an impressive candidate.

Carly Fiorina as Vice President
Department of Foreign Affairs, (change the name back.) - Ted Cruz
Department of Justice - Trey Gowdy
Department of Treasury – Steve Forbes
Department of War, (change the name back.) - LTC. West
Department of Interior, (includes former Agriculture, and Transportation functions) - Gov. Palin
Department of Labor and Commerce (includes former Energy legitimate functions) – Gov. Walker
Department of Health and Human Services, (includes VA functions) – Doctor Benjamin Carson
Department of Homeland Security – Gov. Martinez
Department of Education - ELIMINATE
Department of Housing and Urban Development – ELIMINATE
They have Cruz perilously close to the bottom cutoff.
Thanks.
Fiorina has run a darn impressive campaign. Every interview she’s given has been outstanding. No slips, always has an on-point answer, and never “gotcha’ed!” to this point.
As others have pointed out, she’s likely running for the VP spot, rather than the top of the ticket. Her performance indicates she merits consideration for that spot. I still think it more likely that we’re going to see some combination of Cruz and Walker, but Fiorina shouldn’t be counted out.
I have no idea why someone would want her.
At the end of the day she’s not as good as Walker or Cruz.
Where is this hype coming from?
She reminds me of the perfect candidate over the last twenty-five years, someone nobody knew anything about up until ten minutes ago.
Then they can re-write them a history and sell them as anything they like.
NO THANKS!
I'm with you. She is IMPRESSIVE in her arguments.
She would bury Hillary in a head to head debate.
She deserves to be in the top ten much more than the old pros who live on the government teat.
Agree 100%. I’d take Carly over el ¡Jeb!, any day.
Nobody’s supporting him. He was at 0% last week. He made a video people say, so a few people who recognized his name said they’d vote for him.
I’m not sure what Carly’s decision to merge HP with Compaq had to do with the dotcom bubble other than nothing at all.
She was also a big promoter of the H-1B visa- after all, why employ Americans when Indians can take their jobs here for less?
I hear that bandied about all the time. What company did Carly run into the ground?
Surely it can't be HP because last time I checked, they had over $110,000,000,000 in revenue (FY 2014) and have over 300,000 employees. They are also #19 on the Fortune 500.
So I'm wondering what company got driven into the ground?
