Scott Walker expands 2016 lead in Iowa poll
National Sun Times ^ | July 31, 2015 | Chad Merda P

It’s one of the few polls that has some separation atop the 2016 GOP field, and it shows Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker expanding his lead.

The new Iowa poll conducted by Bloomberg Politics and the Des Moines Register has Walker getting support from 17 percent of the 402 registered Iowa voters who say they are likely to attend 2016 GOP caucuses.

In the previous poll, Walker came in at 15 percent.

In favorability rankings, Walker also leads the pack, with 66 percent of Republicans saying they view him favorably.

Well I’m sure a certain Walker-hating freeper here will not be pleased to read this...

The polls mean nothing at this point in time. If I’m not mistaken, Rick Santorum won the Iowa Caucus. How’d that turn out?

Problem with Walker is that he seems fake. I've seen multiple instances of this guy saying different things to the public than to his donors. That's the same s*** I hated Romney for, and I do not like people who are lying to my face with carefully crafted soundbytes. I do not like candidates who are just carefully crafted soundbites.

The only two candidates worth having in this race are Trump and Cruz. They're the only ones who are real. And being real trumps everything, pun intentional.

No, you heard reports from Jeb Bush supporters claiming Walker did that "in private".

Oops.

It came up on a 24 “search.”

http://national.suntimes.com/national-world-news/national-politics/7/72/1208925/scott-walker-expands-2016-lead-iowa-poll/

And I quickly glanced at the day “31.”

Thank you for the correction.

Reading “the latest polls” is like listening to someone announcing a horse race. Inevitably, the “winner” will be announced at the end of the race.

Exactly!

I’ve thought the same thing. I’ve often thought “what a weasel”

If I’m not mistaken, Rick Santorum won the Iowa Caucus. How’d that turn out?

No one pushed as a Santorum win at the time, but a fuzzy tie . . . with Romney! By the time it was clear that former Senator Santorum won, and by more than 34 votes, the whole campaign had moved on. Unlike Santorum, both Cruz and Walker will have the money and base to push back on the GOPe and the MSM.

No problem. I don’t doubt Walker is in the lead in Iowa, but was suspicious that the poll had Trump at 4%.

Santorum won, but wasn't given the win for 3 weeks. Romney and the egop cheated. Day one egop and Romney knew they lost Iowa, they wanted the momentum. You know what they say; whoever wins Iowa wins the nomination. Cheaters never prosper and neither do seriously fake conservatives.

I don’t think that’s true, that whoever wins Iowa wins the nomination. I think Huckabee won in 2008. If I’m wrong, then someone can correct me.
