Another; of the 450 respondents (Pubs &Indies), 40% said they "never heard of" or "have no opinion" about Walker; 41 % Kasich; 29% Carly; 25% Carson.
These people can't find their polling booths--- don't see why their opinion should be valued as part of a current status analysis of the race.
Sorry Scott, I was one of your early supporters and I still admire and respect you. But you did not live up to your promise to “Go Big Go Bold.”
Is the RNC switching from Jebbie to Carly?
The more we learn about Carson, the more we diss him...nice guy...wrong field. Same with Carly..."beautiful" lady...cough, cough...wrong field.
Much as I like Walker - he’s been my top choice - it’s sounding like it’s time for him to pack it in. I guess quantifiable success and an ability to convincingly beat democrats don’t cut it these days. Ah, well.
Going 3 different directions on Anchor Babies and then saying that we need a wall on the Canadian border (but not on the Mexican border) made it OBVIOUS that Walker is just a puppet controlled by big money and will ONLY say whatever they permit, and will make a fool of himself trying to recover from once in a while saying something that is not permitted.
Although Walker’s collapse is due to primarily to Walker, the big money people behind him (pulling the strings) didn’t do him (or themselves) any favors by trying to reel him back in each time after he “went out of line” in their twisted view of the world.
This poll has a desire to create a narrative. The poll after debate 1 also had Trump at 24. A poll between the debates had trump at 36. I do not believe it is that volatile. Compatible NBC polls went from 22 to 29, with nothing in between... with Fiorina showing a gain. FNSunday had the Trump bash squad going after the Moslem stuff, even though they were going hard on Fiorina on the Iran dealings. She was dancing the I didn’t know dance, but under the circumstances it came off as Clintonesque.
Go to RCP and look at all the polls. The CNN poll is out of whack when it comes to Fiorina.
But even the CNN poll reinforces the fact that the career politicians are dead in the water. None of them are moving up. The polls look upside down from what you would expect.
The anti-establishment movement has legs. It looks like the original Tea Party movement as it crosses party lines.
The Cheap Labor Express still expects the RNC to deliver the amnesty candidate that they paid for.
Since ¡Yeb! is flaming out, they’d like you to go for one of their other amnesty candidates.
If you want to keep your country you have three choices, Cruz, Santorum or Trump.
In regard to Fiorina... someone needs to post BOTH the “Bull$hit Meter” animation and the “I Smell Bull$hit” graphic ASAP. Thank you!
Yeah, he can be at zero. Like Perry. Like Paul soon will be. These guys just didn’t catch on. I look for Walker to drop out in next 30 days, Paul right after that.
I'm of the opinion that these polls are just far too early into the "process." The reality is most American's won't even start paying attention to politics until sometime after the Iowa caucus' and just before or after Labor Day 2016. That's when the polls start getting a little more accurate as the race goes on.
IMO, the only people really paying attention right now are the folks who follow politics every day like you and I do.
The rest of the country, not so much. This is why I don't place any stock in these polls and why I won't be picking a candidate until after the Iowa caucus' and the New Hapmshire Primaries.
Iowa and New Hampshire is going to "thin the herd" and that's when we'll finally see who has staying power and who does not.
I will say this: NO WAY IN HELL WILL I VOTE FOR ANYONE WHO'S LAST NAME IS BUSH.
I like Walker. Taking on and defeating public sector unions is a priority to me. He is the only one of the group that has really done it, and sparked a right to work movement in many states. Saying that, there is no point in dismissing polls we/you/us don't like. Walker was simply overshadowed by Trump, Fiorina and Rubio. I thought Carson had a bad debate and it shows in this poll, but he is still popular and is another candidate sucking the oxygen out of the room for guys like Walker.
It's just one poll, but the results look reasonable and believable.
We will need to see more scientific polling to really see if the race has changed. Note to Trump supporters - click bait non scientific Drudge, Time or Newsmax polls don't mean anything. If they did, you should be shocked Ron Paul isn't President.
Don’t have to tell people here that these polls are more about pushing the (leftie) narrative than accurately reflecting reality. And since the Trump Is A Joke narrative failed, we’ve moved on to Trump Is Fading.
But if failed neoliberal businesswoman Fiorina is the best they can do, the ‘mainstream’ globalist/open borders crowd is in trouble.
All Polls conducted from any source are most deceptive, as far as I’m concerned every Pollster has an agenda and therefore irrelevant, I get it as long as the Polls show support for your candidate they are great, Walker is not my candidate but I will not be discouraged when my candidate comes up short in the Polls it is a scam, don’t be fooled.
Now I know many will disagree with me but that is my opinion based solely on observation over many years, if your observation is different, so be it, towards the end the Polls might be more significant but they are wrong as often as they are right, maybe more so, it is a close call.
CRUZ 2016!
If Walker is at half a point, there’s no need for him to drop out. Maybe he’s trying to exceed expectations in Iowa (just kidding). Seriously, I don’t want to split the conservative vote, but Pawlenty probably dropped out too early last time. As the others were being picked off, he might have gotten another shot in 2012. He would have been marginally acceptable rather than Romney.
Cruz is my #1, I like that Trump may chase John Ellis Bush out early. The GOP-E isn’t close to suing for peace. Neither are we. If Trump has won 30 primaries by plurality and no one else has won 8, and the GOP-E strong arms drop outs into supporting John Ellis Bush or similar, the convention will make 1964 look like Versailles.
The Castle hates/fears Trump; wanted Jeb, will settle for Carly Fiorina.
Walker may have cashed his cheque, but we don't rely on The Ministry of Spin for any matter great or small.
Fiorina is being pumped up by crony insiders on her rolodex.
the dirty secret about the full page NYT ad is, FIORINA’S SUPER PAC PAID FOR THE AD! (coordination?) She is a paper tiger for wallstreet trump-o-phobes.
(btw it is still early, we need to knock out the kiddie table candidates and the bottom 6 of the main card debates)
This headline is far too gleeful. And then I see published by MSNBC. Quell surprise!
Our Soviet-Style Media can’t help revealing itself, can it?
You have to have a credible campaign, persona, and result.
Scott doesn’t.
He is probably a great guy. Just not a great Presidential Candidate.
