Kasich climbing in polls
After last week’s formal announcement, new GOP presidential candidate John Kasich seems to be making an early positive impression with voters. In the 16 candidate field, a new Monmouth University poll shows the Ohio governor is tied for third place in the early state of New Hampshire.
- Donald Trump (24%)
- Jeb Bush 12%
- John Kasich (7%)
- Scott Walker (7%)
- Marco Rubio (6%)
- Ben Carson (5%)
- Rand Paul (5%)
- Chris Christie (4%)
- Carly Fiorina (3%)
- Ted Cruz (3%)
- Mike Huckabee 2%
- Bobby Jindal 2%
- George Pataki 2%
All other candidates received less than 1% support in the survey.
This follows on the heels of an NBC News / Marist poll this week that showed Kasich in 4th place.
In the latest CNN / ORC national poll, Kasich places eighth with 4%, tied with Chris Christie and Ben Carson. Donald Trump leads in this poll as well (18%), followed by Jeb Bush (15%) and Scott Walker (10%). (jj)
