Brand New Fox News Poll Reveals A Brand New Candidate Surging To The Front–You’ll Love This

He had been in fifth place at 8 percent in the last Fox News poll after having been in third place at 10 percent in Fox's August poll.

As the latest poll shows the Republican presidential contest a neck-and-neck race between two men who have led the contest in recent weeks, a new name has risen to place third.

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, now has 10 percent support in a Fox News poll released Tuesday. He had been in fifth place at 8 percent in the last Fox News poll after having been in third place at 10 percent in Fox’s August poll.

The most recent poll showed Donald Trump holding his lead with 24 percent support, while Ben Carson was right behind Trump at 23 percent. No other candidate placed in double digits.

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., was in fourth at 9 percent. Jeb Bush placed fifth at 8 percent. Carly Fiorina, who received a bump in support after last month’s debate, was tied with former Ark. Gov. Mike Huckabee at 5 percent. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., had 3 percent support. Other candidates were at 1 percent or less.

Cruz last week said his actions have put distance between him and other members of the Republican pack.

“If you look to the records of all the Republican candidates there’s a big difference between my record and that of everyone else,” Cruz said. “If you ask, who has stood up to Washington? Who’s taken on not just Democrats, but taken on leaders in their own party? Republican leadership, whether was leading the fight to stop Obamacare? Whether it was leading the fight to stop executive amnesty?”

“You know at the last Republican debate in California, every Republican candidate stood up there and said, ‘we need to defund Planned Parenthood.’ But last week, when we had an epic drag down fight in Washington, not one of them showed up,” Cruz said.

Sweet! I’m hoping he will surge to the top as he gets out in front of the people more.

[Michael.SF.]

I would love to see the Cruizer crush the Hildebeast in a debate.

[PROCON]

Woo-Hoo!

[rrrod]

Some at our local Conservative Club meeting were claiming it will be a Cruz Rubio ticket.....Im not sure but just passing on info. Seems some were getting tired of Trump’s constant personal attacks. Im getting tired of them myself. This is his presidency to lose.

[V_TWIN]

Big Ted’s intellect is truly something to behold.

[circlecity]

I am a Cruz man but I will admit he has some problem areas this chart doesn’t reveal. He voted for the Corker amendment and his position on work visas leaves much to be desired. This is cause for concern. BUT...even with this he is miles better than his competition if one looks purely to the issues.

Cruz is the candidate.

Cruz or Lose!

[STJPII]

Who can debate with Hillary? I see Ted, Carly and Rubio as our best options.

[MayflowerMadam]

Cruz is the best. Sadly, PIAPS will eat him alive in any debate and in any election. (1) She plays the V card. (2) She cheats.

Our only hope will 24/7 prayers, and organizing that event with hundreds or thousands pledging to pray in pre-selected time slots. This election will tell us what God has planned for America’s future. Mercy or no mercy? We don’t deserve it.

The process is a marathon, not a sprint.

Can’t say it enough...

CRUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!

[fatnotlazy]

It’s been fun watching the left and the liberal Republicans go ballistic every time Trump said something, but all that bombast is becoming tiring for me. And if he were to become President, Trump would have to tone down the rhetoric, or we would be in World War III. Not sure his ego would permit him to be diplomatic.

[SeekAndFind]

Yes, but is there a poll showing how any of the GOP leaders in the poll of their own party would fare against Hillary, Biden or Sanders?

I'll post the links only for people who still want to know the facts.

Corker Bill:

• Sen. Cruz: Congress Must Approve Any Iran Deal
  Cruz, Toomey file amendment to give Congress more power over Obama’s Iran deal
• Ted Cruz: Why I voted YES for Corker Iran bill
  He made lemonade out of a lemon bill.

Ted Cruz's Record of defending U.S. Sovereignty:

• Fought and won a landmark ruling for U.S. sovereignty in Medellin v. Texas at the U.S. Supreme Court against 90 foreign nations and the President to ensure the supremacy of U.S. legal system against encroachment by international treaties and rulings of the “World Court.”
• Cosponsored a resolution urging the president not to sign the UN Arms Treaty, which would have subordinated the Second Amendments rights of American citizens to global interests.

H1B Visa:

Do you know the story behind the H1B visa stuff?

It was in the middle of a battle which Ted Cruz and a few senators fought against the 'Gang of 8' amnesty bill. He offered an amendment to counteract pro-illegal immigration provisions of the amnesty bill.

I, and many people, are grateful that Ted Cruz led this fight. Otherwise, they would have approved amnesty already.

Remember this fight in 2013?

The Corker amendment is our salvation.

It will permit Cruz to unilaterally discard the Iran ‘deal’ as his first official action as President.

The Corker amendment is what makes Obama’s actions WRT the ‘deal’ criminal.

Wait a minute. Isn’t he another cowboy from Texas? Didn’t we already have 8 years of that? </sarcasm>

circlecity appears to be a concern troll.

[PghBaldy]

So he is tied for third with Rubio & Bush, based on the MOE. Carly lost the teeny bit of support she had.
