I'm surprised Walker isn't listed in the top 5. Cruz is my only choice, but I don't think America is conservative enough for him. "We've" become a more socially libertarian country. Cruz is a complete Conservative. That scares too many (they've been brainwashed by the MSM)

Walker's name was not even in the poll.  That was weird!

An internal TPNN poll has interesting results.  It is not what you would expect.

Ben Carson   21%

Ted Cruz       16%

Rick Perry     16%

Trump          11%

Rand Paul       9%

Rubio             8%

Fiorina           8%

Huckabee       4%

Santorum       3%

Jeb Bush        2%

Kasich            2%

Lindsay Graham 1%

Sorry.  It was a private email. 

Cruz...wins, and is it any wonder?

ALL green except one yellow. He's WAY ahead of anybody else. I always knew I was a good judge of character. 

Paul & Rubio aren't too far behind, but they're still second best in the Conservative world

In truth, 2nd place to Cruz, is way at the back of the pack.
There is no better Conservative running.

And the yellow is mixed, not bad...

Yours, like mine, did not include Walker!  I wonder why.

Because he had yet to declare? Not really sure.

Maybe that is it.   That did not occur to me.  hhmmm..... 

Though he was 'former'... governor...  Wisconsin's Tommy Thompson announced his Presidential Candidacy on April 2nd, 2007... then withdrew on August 12, 2007.

Reason: He finished 6th in Iowa straw-poll.

It's hard laying that template onto Walker... who hasn't announced yet. 

Thompson's in-State favorability reached 75% on June 19th, 2007... and his support ranked 13% Nationally. 

http://race42016.com/2007/06/19/poll-watch-university-of-wisconsin-badger-poll-gop-wisconsin-net-favorability-ratings/

As of Friday, Walker's favorability in-State has dropped to 41%.

http://www.latimes.com/nation/politics/politicsnow/la-pn-walker-poll-20150416-story.html

My conclusion is that Walker shouldn't declare this year, but should finish serving his gubernatorial-term.  Then declare his candidacy when his popularity receives the typical 'bounce' upward in the polls, which retired figures tend to enjoy.

I agree, he has a lot of damage control yet to deal with, especially where he comes off as a flip flopper.

That may be true but I don't expect Walker to walk away at this point.  He is knee deep into this race and has a significant following and war chest.  Americans for Prosperity will be pushing him all the way!!

Maybe. I think he is waiting to see if Cruz falters, because I know they've all done the math, it would cost a lot more than they have to beat him.
Walker, if smart will wait and throw his support to Cruz if he can make a deal for Veep.

That would be a perfect arrangement!!
