latest national survey finds Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker still leading the GOP pack at 18 percent, but he's been dropping ever since his high-water mark of 25 percent in February.
Here's the field standings:
Walker: 18%
Rubio: 13%
Carson: 12%
Huckabee: 12%
Bush: 11%
Cruz: 10%
Paul: 9%
Christie: 5%
Those standings aside, PPP says the candidates with the wind at their backs right now are Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.
Two candidates have the clear momentum in the six weeks since we did our last national Republican poll: Marco Rubio and Mike Huckabee. In addition to being second place overall, Rubio is the most frequently named second choice of GOP voters at 15%. ...
Huckabee's gained 6 points from the last national poll we did. His 58% favorability rating is the highest of the GOP field and his net +34 rating at 58/24 is tied with Rubio's at 56/22 to make him the most popular candidate.
Another point of interest—Jeb Bush had been running second at 17 percent but he's now slid to fifth at 11 percent.
Can't imagine why.
