Early poll by Rasmussen poll of Republican voters: Christie 21, Rubio 18, Jeb Bush 16

Which i may add this is the same Rasmussen poll whom claimed Romney would win by a majority in 2012 election and why has Rasmussen poll added Jeb Bush into the poll? he hasn't even announced that he would even run in 2016.

So in contrast.
Fat Mug: Christie 21%
WaterFool:Rubio 18%
Warmonger/Bush Clan: Jeb Bush 16%

Freedom defender:Rand Paul 15%


Even they remove the fat mug Christie Rasmussen they would still either add Jeb or Rubio as the top tier.

Rasmussen is an establishment republican polling firm. Hannity has this guy on from time to time so they clearly favor the mainstreamers. There's no chance that Rubio is up on Rand for starters. Also, national polls are meaningless for a Prez primary unless they're for pushing certain trends.

Me thinks these latest polls are being manipulated. Christie is coming out of nowhere all of a sudden and he's done nothing to explain the change. This is a "tail wagging the dog" attempt.

AFAIK, no one has announced that they will run in 2016. My gut tells me that Bush is way more likely to run than Rubio. I take it almost as a given that Rand will run.

With so many conservative outlets bashing Christie, it really is a wonder. Seems to be more manufactured BS that we saw in the Republican primaries with a new flavor of the week cycling through every candidate. They then pushed Santorum last minute and he wins Iowa. It really is amazing. I suspect this is what we're seeing, just much earlier.

I would disagree...

Chrissie Creme attacked Rand and that put him in the spotlight, the MSM knows Rand is popular so they ran with the story to get people hooked and create juice for ratings. I would say that it has very little, if nothing, to do with manufacturing a candidate.

We're 3 years away. I'm sure the polls in 2005 showed what was going to happen in 2008, right? Oh wait no, Hillary didn't get the nomination by 40 points.

 

[Victor Grey]

That 1 in 5 Republicans asked no matter the wording provided it is in english, come out in favor for Chris Christie, is disappointing.

 

[helenpaul]

39% are apparently idiots. but they also gave us mccain and romney.

What does "This is a "tail wagging the dog" attempt" mean?

At this point, all polls reflect is name recognition.

Rand Paul has had leads nationally, in Iowa, Alaska, New Hampshire, etc. I'll take those polls over the notoriously unreliable Rasmussen.

I would live Jeb Bush to run it would be the funniest thing ever concocted EVER. The best way to get gains in the liberty movement is to throw another BUSH in their face.
