Walker Surges in New National Poll

A new Public Policy Polling survey finds Mitt Romney leading the Republican presidential field with 21%, followed by Jeb Bush at 17%, Ben Carson at 15%, Scott Walker at 11%, Ted Cruz at 9%, Mike Huckabee at 9%, Chris Christie at 7%, Rand Paul at 4% and Rick Perry at 2%.

Key takeaway: “The biggest winner has to be Scott Walker. His 11% standing appears to be the first time he’s registered at double digits in a national poll. He’s reached that level of support despite having the lowest name recognition of any candidate we tested, which is a pretty good indication that when voters get to know him they’re coming to like him.”
