In Iowa, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is riding high for lead of the Republican Caucus. With 21 percent of likely GOP caucus participants, the Quinnipiac University poll has Walker first. Fighting for second are U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida with 13 percent each, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas with 12 percent and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee with 11 percent. Physician Ben Carson has 7 percent, with 5 percent for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. No other candidate is above 3 percent; 6 percent are undecided.
When asked if there is a candidate they would not support, Bush tops the list at 25 percent, followed by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie with 20 percent.
“The first few months of the Iowa Republican caucus race show Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker as the early leader. U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, on the strength of an impressive candidacy roll out, has moved from the bottom of the pack into a tie for second,” said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac poll. “Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who has yet to formalize his candidacy while he amasses what most expect to be a massive fund-raising lead, runs seventh with just 5 percent of the vote.”
