Fox News Poll: Rubio jumps to head of 2016 GOP pack

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/04/23/fox-news-poll-rubio-jumps-to-head-2016-gop-pack-clinton-honesty-questioned/

The Bush dynasty is a negative for voters and Marco Rubio is seen as a leader of the future, as the Florida senator jumps to the head of the GOP pack. The Clinton dynasty is a plus -- and even though Hillary could have an honesty problem, she dominates the Democratic side. And both the Republican faithful (with their crowded field) and the Democratic faithful (with their sole favorite) are happy with their range of 2016 choices.

These are some of the findings from the latest Fox News poll on the 2016 presidential election. Here are some more:

Announcing your candidacy helps your poll numbers. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio receives a five percentage-point bump after his April 13 announcement and has the backing of 13 percent in the race for the Republican nomination -- just a touch over Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker who gets 12 percent among self-identified GOP primary voters. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul comes in at 10 percent, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee earn 9 percent each and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz gets 8 percent. snip

Sheldon Adelson's puppet sounds pretty good in this interview---not in what he says but his smooth slick way of saying it.

Lawrence O'Donnell had a panel discussion on this poll tonight. They all agreed that Jebbie's camp are freaking right now

Some raise eyes to me but there is no benchmark to measure it against but the mean of all available polls.

They are really trying to hype Rubio as their savior to destroy Clinton.. my worry is that he will be looked at as more likeable than her and people will just vote based on that.. i hope we are ready for the shitstorm... I am happy to know though, that Hillary is a fighter and won't take their crap !!!

like Bill's $500K speech some donor paid for, I think a foreign one. And Goldman Sachs hosted a Clinton Found. benefit. Such was highlighted tonight on msnbc.

Ermagherd... stuff happened. Some donor guy, probably foreign ("code for Taliban) gave money... and then this evil bank corporation hosted a charity benefit (just like in Batman with Christian Bale).

I think Walker will be the nomination. Probably take Iowa, New Hampshire...crazy Cruz will take South Carolina and Walker will take Florida after that who knows. One thing that is unfortunate for Hillary is that she has to do research for each one just in case. I think she will easily win the general in a cake walk.

I wonder if Scott Walker is related to the Bushes, as in Geo. Herbert Walker Bush?

Ted Cruz led in the polls after he announced, too. As soon as the next clown jumps in the car, lil' Marco will be forgotten.

they spent millions on their Wall St. genius and he didn't win. They're not throwing good money after bad in this next race.

Then again, they're repuglicans so they're not logical.
