Hot Air Pre Debate Survey Results, Cruz Still the One (Over 4,000 Participants)
http://www.hotair.com ^ | 8/3/2015 | Patrich Ishmael

Ted Cruz remains the first choice of Hot Air readers, followed by Scott Walker and Donald Trump. Most candidates have stayed steady over the last month, but as Trump rose, June’s third place winner Rick Perry fell. Whether Perry supporters have migrated or simply didn’t come out to vote this time, I don’t know, but Perry’s loss was basically Trump’s gain. That’s the first takeaway.

The second takeaway is this: that regardless of who you support, a Republican primary debate without Bobby Jindal and Carly Fiorina would be woefully incomplete. Not only did both make the top 5 in the consensus vote, but Fiorina is now actually in the top 3 among second choices and the top 5 among first choices.

The idea that Obamacaid-supporting John Kasich — who does no better than tenth in any of these lists — would get a seat at the debate but Fiorina or Jindal could be left off the stage is, simply put, ridiculous. And Perry, who’s fallen, still has a strong argument as a top 10 candidate that’s at least as good as Kasich’s. It will be interesting to see what the final lineup looks like.

Nearly 4000 participated in this survey.

Bobby Jindal and Carly Fiorina Have zero chance of winning so complete waste of time to include them and waste time from credible nominees.

Carly has been the biggest surprise to me. She’s much more conservative than I thought. She’s a great communicator. Too bad she’s from California. If she were in a purple or red state, she could run for governor.

Credible to me and others of principle does not rest in "electability". I like to sleep at night.

I would rather cut to the chase and hear from the several that have a chance.

She is conservative for this race. She’ll never carry the state of CA in a general. None of the Rs will.

People on here snark that she lost the Senate election and I tell them Reagan himself couldn’t win a statewide election in California today.

It’s so blue with the jungle primary system a fair number of November races are 2 Dems (like when Sandy Fluke p*ssed away a mil of her in-laws dough on the campaign).

Yes. It is a poll like Breitbart, Newsmax, etc. Hot Air is one of the top Conservative sites.
