The Horse Race

Every month or so William Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard, does a poll of TWS blog readers and newsletter subscribers concerning their preferences among the GOP presidential aspirants. This poll has a clever name - the "Kristol Clear Straw Poll."

The latest edition is just out: Walker gets the most first place votes, followed by Rubio. Kristol summarizes the findings:

Walker remains strong, Rubio continues to move up, and Fiorina is surging.

The poll didn't include Trump among those listed. He had yet to make clear his intentions when the poll was taken. Hat tip to Drudge Report for the link.
