Walker Still Leads Nationally, Clinton Over 60%

"SNIP................


PPP's national Republican poll for May continues to find Scott Walker leading the field, but it's tightly clustered and his support has actually dropped two consecutive surveys now.

Walker's at 18% to 13% for Marco Rubio, 12% each for Ben Carson and Mike Huckabee, 11% for Jeb Bush, 10% for Ted Cruz, 9% for Rand Paul, 5% for Chris Christie, and 2% for Rick Perry. This is the third national poll in a row where we've found Walker ahead but he was at 25% in late February and declined to 20% and now 18% on the two subsequent surveys.

Two candidates have the clear momentum in the six weeks since we did our last national Republican poll: Marco Rubio and Mike Huckabee. In addition to being second place overall, Rubio is the most frequently named second choice of GOP voters at 15%. The 28% of Republicans who name him as either their first or second choice matches Walker for the top of the heap. His 13% represents a 7 point gain from his 6% standing in late March.

Huckabee's gained 6 points from the last national poll we did. His 58% favorability rating is the highest of the GOP field and his net +34 rating at 58/24 is tied with Rubio's at 56/22 to make him the most popular candidate.

4. Seems like it has been a while since one person has dominated like she seems to. I hope it holds.

5. I like the numbers, she is going to be a strong candidate, I like her campaign

Approach and she is holding strong and not allowing the chatter to get in the way.

6. There are some interesting crosstabs

the most interesting is that her favorability actually declines as the voters self describe as being less liberal. Her overall favorability is 74 among the very liberal 86, among the somewhat liberal 83, among the moderate 71, among the conservative 42, and among the very conservative 20. In terms of support, its overall 63, very liberal 65, somewhat liberal 73, moderate 63, somewhat conservative 42, very conservative 25.

7. Her nearest primary opponent is 50 pts behind her. I'd say she's got plenty of wiggle room. nt
