Walker Holds Clear Lead Among Conservatives

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) “is the clear favorite of conservative voters as he readies an expected bid for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination in 2016,” according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.

Walker and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) “can each claim about a quarter of the most conservative party members, the poll shows. While ardent conservatives only account for 1 in 10 Republican voters, they are more likely to vote in primary contests and take an active role in politics. He also wins a large share of conservative-leaning voters who are less inclined to see every issue in terms of black and white.”
