Ryan-20%
Bush-18%
Christie-13%
Cruz-12%
Paul-11%
Rubio-10%

This one isn't so good. I wonder how Ryan can be at 8% in one poll and 20% in another poll? That's quite a discrepancy.

Discrepancy? Every poll isn't going to garner the same results. Hell, more than that, the same amount of people aren't surveyed. Not topping every poll gives Paul room to improve upon. At least he's on the poll.

This is hard to believe, and I ain't crying but hell who all remembers all the tactics they used against Ron in these polls? Who's to say for every so many calls they left Rand off the list or even when selecting Rand it said thank you for your vote for "Ryan." I'm sure that sounds crazy but that's exactly the shit that was happening to Ron. Bottom line is they all know Rand's organization is head and shoulders above everyone else.

This. Those who panic every time a national poll comes out and we aren't leading people on RPF act like they have never experienced a primary before.

I don't expect every poll to be exactly the same, but 8% in one poll and 20% in another poll conducted at exactly the same time is a big difference. Obviously, Huckabee not being included in the poll is part of the difference, but that alone doesn't explain a 12% difference.

And actually, the exact same amount of people were surveyed, 457 registered voters.

4 of the 6 are liberal pieces of crap.

I really can't explain why Ryan and Bush are at the top of that poll. The polls are basically meaningless right now but it's still nicer to see Rand higher up.
