As the first Republican debate for the primary season is quickly approaching, Rasmussen Reports says that businessman Donald Trump, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush are guaranteed seats on the A-stage on Aug. 6.
Rasmussen's first national survey of likely Republican voters shows that Trump is ahead with 26 percent support, while Walker is in second with 14 percent and Bush has 10 percent of the vote making them the top three leaders.
While there are 13 remaining major Republican candidates, Fox News is only opening the Aug. 6 debate to the top 10 as determined by the best numbers in leading polls.
Rasmussen Reports says the rest of the A-stage debate field is "a lot murkier," but six candidates stand out:
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, both with 7 percent;Then comes the pack:Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson and Ohio Gov. John Kasich with 5 percent each;
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul at 3 percent.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal all have 2 percent support among likely GOP voters;Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham and former New York Gov. George Pataki each pick up 1 percent of the Republican vote.

Good numbers for Cruz on Ras....he is gaining steam.
Santorum and Fiorina deserve to be doing better. I think it is just that there are so many to choose from. It is all good at this point. People will shift around and not really make up their minds for quite a while yet. We need to see a lot of all of them.
I am glad to see Rand Paul sinking.
Jindal may deserve to be doing better, too. It’s just that we hear so little about him.
Bush at ten percent. LMAO
In John F. Kennedy’s first election, his dad placed another candidate on the ballot with the same name as his opponent.
For some strange reason, John won.
Folks, should we place 25 people named Jeb Bush on all the ballots?
Heh heh heh...
FWIW:

Sorry to do this in 3 posts instead of one. I keep thinking of one more thing.
I used to have Perry on my list of possibilities. Overall there is a lot I like about him. It is just that he has been way off the mark lately.
Another rigged poll.
Does anyone know the schedule of GOP debates? When is the next one after Aug 6?
Oh yeah, I wasn’t even thinking about Bush.
You know, my sister keeps reminding me of something Bush said years ago that she liked. It was something about the Department of Education — If a trillion dollars dropped from the sky right in their laps it still wouldn’t be enough. LOL. Sometimes I wonder how someone who used to seem like a good guy could have gone so wrong. I guess power just goes to their head and they lose sight of the people who put them there.
See how they put Huckabee and Cruz both at 7 so that evangelicals have to choose to split the vote? This is shady biz
Next up from the Reagan Library September 16 with Jake Tapper and Hugh Hewitt.
Yes!
And CRUZ is moving up!
Jeb at 10% = ROFLOLOL.
But here's the "deal" people, if a Muslim Marxist community organizer can be president, why can't a billionaire?
After all Harry Truman was a haberdasher, and Ronaldus Maxamus was a thespian.
A thespian...!?
5.56mm
I’d sure like to see Carly Fiorina in that Debate.
You know what, for a Leftist, a trillion would truly not be enough. No amount ever is for them. That wasn’t evidence of lower mentality. It was evidence of a Leftist mentality. Well..., ok..., same thing.
I could be wrong on this, but I think we sometimes vote for candidates hoping they will be more than we had thought they would be. Then time passes, they are tested on a number of issues, and it becomes evident they aren’t who they said they were at all.
A lot of folks trounce Trump right now for faking it. Jeb Bush is the guy who was faking it. Take a look at him and tell me he wasn’t.
(not giving you a hard time here) Just look at this guy.
So when people tell me that Trump is faking it, I scratch my head and think, well..., if I’m honest with myself, they all are.
Why not try something different for a change? What I’ve been doing hasn’t worked.
The liberal Trump pay off continues.
Also whoever that 10% is might not speak a lick of English.
Santorum is doing as well as he deserves to be doing. I am glad he is at the bottom because he was a spoiler last time around.
