I don't have any poll results right in front of me and he has not done or said anything yet that would put him in the next presidential race. He has also refused to say he will not run. Because of this non-status there is not a lot on him yet in the current news. There is a movie out about him that is rather recent. The few more local and scattered polls that I have seen he holds his own. In the red states he does very well. In the purple states if people know of him he also does well.
I look at him as a legitimate potential candidate. I have no crystal ball but if I were trying to find someone to run against HC it would have to be someone like him and not the other wannabes on that side of the line. I see no one else on the Right who has a chance in hell of beating HC right now.
I value honesty and integrity so I don't think much of any of the rest of that herd.
