Ahead of a major gathering of Republican presidential hopefuls in New Hampshire later this week, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has put some distance between himself and the rest of the field, leading by 10 points against his nearest competitor in a new poll on the Granite State.
Mr. Walker is the top presidential choice for 24 percent of GOP primary voters, according to the poll out Wednesday from the Democratic firm Public Policy Polling.
Next was Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas at 14 percent, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky at 12 percent and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at 10 percent. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie were both at 8 percent.
Mr. Cruz, Mr. Paul, and Mr. Rubio are the only major GOP candidates to have officially announced they are running for president in 2016.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson were at 7 percent apiece and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry was at 4 percent.
Mr. Walker was viewed most favorably by GOP primary voters; 57 percent had a favorable opinion of him, compared to 13 percent who had an unfavorable opinion. He also led among a swath of the potential primary electorate, winning over GOP voters who identified themselves as “moderate,” “somewhat conservative” and “very conservative.”

Walker leads Cruz in NH by 10 points.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
To the extent this helps scuttle the Dauphin Bush I am elated. However I look forward to a more vigorous display of the differences, dreams, hopes and demonstrations of excellence between those left on the field.
Thank goodness Bush is falling fast!
Look at Scott Walker’s RECORD as governor
1. lowered taxes
2. passed conservative laws over democrat and media opposition
3. passed right to work laws
4. balanced the budget while cutting taxes and turning a huge deficit into a surplus
5. acted against climate change and against unions
6. many more conservative results
7. defeated democrats more than anyone in history to pass conservative laws and he’s been governor only a short time
8. defeated democrats in several elections already some recall elections
Actions, results matter. Walkers record is unmatched in history and he's been governor only a short time
Scott Walker as president could restore America that the Obama communist is destroying . Obama is being a dictator .Obama illegally passed Amnesty with a wave of his hand after Congress refused to. Also obama is ordering his FCC gestapo to regulate the Internet with Soros researched laws. those are just 2 examples of how the communist Obama is destroying America and freedom and opportunity
Cruz will be in soviet Red Hampshire on April 19th...the Boston Marathon is the following day, so he will have to compete for media attention.
The Bush’s are the undead. Vampires who will rise up in the dark and suck the blood from all other candidates. Cult Mother Vampiress, Barbara Bush will conduct a Satanic ritual and put a MSM hex on all opponents. Only a wooden stake can save the country when Zombie Jeb rises from the earth.
Walker was for amnesty before he was against amnesty. I hope he doesn’t mean no amnesty the way McCain means it when he says it.
Walker leading by 10 points and he hasn’t even announced.
Maybe word is getting out about his unmatched record as governor of passing conservative laws,lowering taxes, balancing the budget ,union busting, wining recall elections, defeating democrats to pass conservative laws, etc. Actions and results mean everything. Words mean nothing
I see you and the liberal news media have the same smears against scott walker. FYI Scot walker has taken no action to help illegals. so your liberal media hit is just lies.

Former Florida Governor, Jeb Bush at 10 percent.

Wow! Not looking good for Jebbie. He will NOT win the Iowa Caucus, or even come close. If, on the heels of losing Iowa, he loses badly in Blue Hampshire, let me quote Willie Nelson: “Turn out the lights; the party’s over”.
Buh bye Bushie; buh bye.
I unfriendeda Facebook “friend” today for posting a particularly vulgar and nasty anti-Walker meme going around.
Thank goodness Bush is falling fast!

Hopefully his big money donors will see the handwriting on the wall and keep their wallets in their pockets until after Blue Hampshire.
If Walker gets the nomination, I hope we have one of the following Tickets going into the General Election:
Walker/Cruz
Walker/Martinez
Walker/Rubio
Right now, Jeb Bush just has an “Exploratory Committee”. Hopefully, this “Committee” will tell him: “It’s no use Jeb. Pull up stakes and save your time and money. You are NOT gonna win this thing.”
Rubio not good as he tried to pass Amnesty and they did pass it in the Senate.
We need help fast. Barack Obama the communist is destroying America ,freedom and opportunity very rapidly . Obama bypassed Congress and went against the will of people to give amnesty to illegals and got the FCC to regulate the Internet with Soros researched regulations. the light of freedom (the Internet) is fading fast.
“Actions and results mean everything. Words mean nothing.”
BUMP! Love My Gov! *HEART*
As for Jeb? Two words: Terri Schaivo. I will never, EVER vote for Bush.
Marco Rubio not good as he tried to pass Amnesty and they did pass it in the Senate.And Rubio voted for his own horrible Amnesty bill that he and shuck Chumer crafted.that's really the only major action this con man Rubio has taken to backstab Americans . Look at his Amnesty bill :it's horrible beyond all imagination . and you trust him? can you answer why?
