Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul has pulled ahead of the crowded pack of Republican presidential contenders and has 20 percent support for the first time, Zogby Analytics said.
"Rand Paul is emerging as the frontrunner in this race," Zogby said in a statement.
Paul has previously led in national polling of likely GOP voters. A July Quinnipiac University survey showed Paul ahead of the field with 11 percent support. And a May-June CNN poll had him leading with 14 percent.
In the Zogby poll, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie share the No. 2 spot with 13 percent each. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has 8 percent; Florida Sen. Marco Rubio gets 7 percent, and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal pulls 4 percent.

We need Mitt or Jeb not Rand.
ReplyDeleteRand will ensure a democratic win.
ReplyDeleteNo. We need Ron Paul. Nobody in either branch of government understands what's happening to the U.S. Dollar better than he.
ReplyDelete10:04 - Mitt!
ReplyDeleteI had high hopes for Rand Paul. But he has been acting like an unprincipled fool since his name was first floated for president.
