A new poll shows New Hampshire Republicans leaning toward Scott Walker over Jeb Bush, with Rand Paul, who announced his candidacy and visited the Granite State this week, in third place.
The NH1 poll released Friday shows Walker, the Wisconsin governor, leading Bush, 23 percent to 17 percent – outside the margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. Paul, the first-term Kentucky senator, is at 15 percent.
The three leaders are the only candidates to register in double figures. The next tier is led by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (9 percent), who entered the race last month, and businessman Donald Trump (8 percent), who is toying with a potential candidacy for the second consecutive election cycle.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who is expected to join the race next month, is next with 7 percent, following by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at 6 percent. Rounding out the field are former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (6 percent), businesswoman Carly Fiorina (2 percent) and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry (2 percent).

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My God America might be smartening up.
NH needs to change its motto to: Roll Over and Die.
Maybe the see a RINO inside the conservative facade...
Whatever. Walker is the most conservative of the group including Cruz who is pretty liberal in immigration.
Well the poll also has Donald Trump at 8%, so I’m not sure how smart they all are.
Interesting numbers though.
You are incorrect about Cruz. But that is to be expected from a fangirl. Walker will bend to the Chamber illegal lovers.
Walker is not gay. Can I say the same about Cruz? I don’t know why gay has to be brought into it anyway. For a conservative, you aren’t very.
Remember that we need 270 EV to win. Dems start out with a huge advantage of 237 EV to the GOP’s 181 EVs. We need to win 89 EVs while they only need 33.
We need a candidate that will that can win Ohio, Virginia and Florida, plus Wisconsin. That just gets us to 276.Lose Florida and it gets even harder. That’s why Jeb looks so attractive.
I’d like to see a Walker/Rubio ticket. You then get Florida and Wisconsin from the start. That’s 245 with just 25 EVs to the win. Grab VA and you’re just 12 EVs away.
I used all the 2012 numbers, but without Obama you won’t see black numbers that high, nor Latinos.
It’s all about the Electoral College. Which candidate combo can win it. That’s why Cruz is out of the running from day one.
You sound like Mr. Magoo: short-sighted.
Walker has already flipped on illegals. He will flip again.
You fangirled for St. Santo and Crazy Eyes Bachmann last time, neither of whom were serious contenders. Sweater vest ended up being anRomney flunky.
Walker is the most conservative of the group including Cruz who is pretty liberal in immigration.
I think you have the Candidates mixed up Cruz wants borders closed. Then we talk. Walker says dreamers should have a shot, says nothing about closing borders.
Any poll that has Jeb in the Top 5 is BS...
True. I only go for true conservatives which were Santorum and Bachmann....I actually forgot I supported her, but I did. See I support conservatives unlike you.
Don’t forget about Texas, I believe they moved their primary to early March.
Thank goodness.
If I was in charge, there would be no blue wall states in the 1st 20 contests.
Santo was a big spender. Nothing conservative about that.
“Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My God America might be smartening up.”
Donald Trump 8%.
No they’re not.
Oh, nooo,
This can’t be true.
Go along get along jeb is leading.
The msm tells us so.
Hey jeb you can not buy my vote ya worthless rino.
