CNN’s polling is useless. Yes, I’m sure all the Trump fans will be happy he’s #1... but every other poll shows that. They’re still skewed heavily for Jeb Bush. About the only interesting news bit is that Trump and Bush are absolutely unelectable (although Trump may have a much better chance to re-create his image as he persists in the campaign, and CNN is horribly skewed towards liberals).
Walker as a boogie-man to the left still has negatives at only 31%; that’s not bad. I’m very surprised to see GOP-e Kasich so low in negatives, but that could be the CNN skew towards the GOP-e. It’s very telling that they don’t poll Cruz at all... and laughable that they have him down at 4%.
Yep, they ask specific questions about Trump, Rubio, Bush, Walker, and iCarly before they get to the pick. That is why Carson and Cruz are lower than the other polls and the above are all higher. This was a push poll.
Any weekend poll is going to skew toward the GOPe. The people at home on the weekend answering the phone are older, hooked into Fox News, and more loyal to the republican brand as peddled by the Rovians.
