National poll? I didn't click the link.
Seems like really odd results.

4 way tie for 2nd place, talk about a wide open field.

Where are the real favorability numbers?

I don't know why people break links to things like this.

OK, this is of all registered voters, I have reconstructed the favorability numbers they are pretty good for Rand:

Favorable

Romney 41.5%
Rand Paul 38.5%
Huckabee 38.5%
Ryan 37%
Perry 35.5%
Christie 35.5%
Bush 34.5%
Rubio 33.5%
Cruz 32.5%
Carson 30%
Walker 30%

Unfavorable

Carson 22%
Walker 31%
Perry 37.5%
Rubio 37.5%
Rand Paul 38.5%
Huckabee 38.5%
Ryan 41%
Cruz 41.5%
Christie 44.5%
Bush 45.5%
Romney 49.5%

Please let me know if I made an error, I did this quickly.

The reason why the net favorability numbers are in the negative for most candidates is because it's a survey of the general population, not just republicans.

I can't believe it--in b4 NACBA says Rand is losing to No Preference.
