CBS Poll: Rand moving up as a voting possibility among GOP voters

[Inkblots]

Movin' on up:

Texas Senator Ted Cruz has undergone the biggest change since last month (interviews were being conducted for the poll when he announced his candidacy): 37 percent of Republicans would now consider voting for him, last month only 23 percent said so. Senator Rand Paul has gained 9 points since last month; now, 39 percent would consider voting for him, up from 30 percent in February.

The more we can create an air of plausibility about Rand 2016, the more these numbers will improve. Whatever tactics the MSM uses to undermine Rand, they won't be able to turn him into Don Quixote, at least.

Decline of 31 to 23 percent change of those responding "no they would not consider" voting for Rand, that's significant I wonder what was the contributing factors, this is a positive.

Interesting that 42 percent of Republican polled say they would not consider voting for Chris Christie, the highest non-consideration of all the GOP candidates listed. I wonder if that was mostly due to the bridge-gate scandal as back in 2011 it seemed he was hailed as some kind of superstar in the GOP with people begging he run.

Really encouraging numbers.

What happens next week after the April 7 announcement will be critical. Both what the official campaign does around the 5-state blitz, and what the Grassroots does. Both camps need to make it explosive and relentless. Need to show that we are in this to WIN.

I hope the people on the ground are fired up and getting prepared.
