Paul, Walker Tied Atop 2016 Republican Field in New Hampshire

Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker are tied atop a crowded 2016 GOP primary field in the early state of New Hampshire, with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush slipping into a tie for third with Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, who picked up some support since a separate poll was released in February.

Mr. Paul and Mr. Walker were the first choice of 12 percent of GOP primary voters, followed by Mr. Bush and Mr. Rubio at 11 percent apiece and businessman Donald Trump at 8 percent, according to the Bloomberg Politics/Saint Anselm poll.

Next were New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at 7 percent, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas at 6 percent, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson at 5 percent, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee at 4 percent and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina at 3 percent.
