It's Walker Plus Six Also-Rans In Iowa GOP Caucus
Source: Quinnipiac Polling Institute
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker leads the pack in the Iowa Republican Caucus, but his support is shrinking among likely Republican Caucus participants, as six other contenders battle for second place, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. New Jersey Gov. Christopher Christie is in 15th place, with 1 percent.
Walker has 18 percent of likely GOP caucus participants, compared to 25 percent in a February 25 poll by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University and 21 percent in a May 6 survey.
Jostling for second place are Donald Trump and Ben Carson, at 10 percent each, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas at 9 percent each, former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida at 8 percent and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida at 7 percent. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has 5 percent. No other candidate is above 4 percent and 5 percent are undecided.
Trump and Bush top the "no way" list as 28 percent say they would definitely not support Trump and 24 percent say no to Bush. Christie is next on this negative list with 18 percent.

(18,115 posts)I can't even imagine how it will play out. I wonder how long so many will stay in the field, how debates will be managed, etc.
One disadvantage for us is that with no clear front runner, they all just bemoan and attack dems. No gopper leader to aim for.

(1,016 posts)Exactly what the GOP needs, a loud mouth espousing racist speech, that most of the RW base believes in.
Go to several sites and see GOP RW defending Trump. He is their hero. The business man, who has a law suit against him for defrauding customers over his Trump University scam, bankruptcies, part of his business model, stiff the vendors and investors.

He's forcing businesses out because he likes to sue everybody," The Donald said.
Yes he did really say that.
