Most say Fiorina VP pick won't sway vote

Ted Cruz’s selection of Carly Fiorina as his potential running mate has hardly registered with voters, according to a new poll.

Sixty percent have no opinion on Fiorina’s addition to Cruz’s ticket or think it has “no impact” in a Morning Consult survey released early Tuesday.

Twenty two percent say they are “less likely” to vote for Cruz because of the former Hewlett-Packard CEO. Only 18 percent, meanwhile, say Fiorina makes them “more likely” to cast ballots for the Texas senator.

Pollsters also found that Fiorina is either disliked or unknown to many registered voters nationwide.

Thirty six percent have never heard of the former GOP presidential candidate or have no opinion of her.

Thirty nine percent view her unfavorably, meanwhile, versus 25 percent who see her favorably instead.

Morning Consult surveyed 3,940 registered voters between April 29 to May 2. The new poll has a 2-percent margin of error.

Truth be told, I sincerely doubt that Fiorina was his first phone call to find a VP to breathe life into his dead horse campaign.

And who else do you think he was considering?

Trump knows how to use the media far better than does Cruz.

Good point.

If anything, it will push people further away. How could Cruz think that picking a running mate that failed very early in the primaries would help his cause? Is he short some brains?
