This won’t surprise Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid or GOP old bull Sen. John McCain -- the largest chunk of the Republican Party is now very conservative.
According to a new PPP poll, which has Sen. Ted Cruz the top choice for the 2016 Republican nomination, those who describe themselves as “very conservative” make up 39 percent of the splintered party. Add in those who consider themselves “somewhat conservative,” and the right-leaning voters comprise 76 percent of the party.
In the new poll of 743 Republican primary voters, 1 percent called themselves “very liberal,” 4 percent “somewhat liberal,” and just 18 percent as “moderate.”
Among the conservative voters, Cruz is the leading choice for the GOP nomination. He won 34 percent of that group. But he also shows remarkable crossover as 32 percent of the “very liberal” crowd also prefer him.

What the Ted Cruz Filibuster Really Means – It’s the End of the GOP as We Know It



Exclusive: Romney disagrees with GOP ‘tactics’ on Obamacare in D.C.

Unless the 76% Conservative GOP base can COMPLETELY remove the 1% Democrats who are calling themselves 'Republicans' and who are intentionally refusing to perform the job the 76% hired them for, the 76% are about to quickly find themselves completely irrelevant in terms of political influence and ability to steer the future of this nation.

In fact, they (the 76%) CANNOT remove the 1% and have already been disenfranchised (left to rot in the sun) by the 1%. The 76% simply are not up to the job of removing the 1% ..

POLL: CRUZ 2016 FRONTRUNNER, NEW GOP LEADER

Posted on 27 September, 2013 by clyde


Breitbart is reporting that a new national poll has found that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is not only the 2016 frontrunner but also the politician Republicans view as their new leader in Washington, D.C.

A Public Policy Polling poll of GOP primary voters conducted September 25-26, while Cruz was speaking on the Senate floor for 21 hours in support of defunding Obamacare, found Cruz is the top choice “among Republican primary voters to be their candidate for President in 2016″:

He leads the way with 20% to 17% for Rand Paul, 14% for Chris Christie, 11% for Jeb Bush, 10% each for Marco Rubio and Paul Ryan, 4% for Bobby Jindal, and 3% each for Rick Santorum and Scott Walker.

Cruz received the support of 34% of “very conservative” voters while Paul received 17% and Ryan 12%. Those “very conservative” voters make up the greatest share of the GOP primary electorate at 39%.

The poll also found that “Cruz is now viewed more broadly as the leader of the Republican Party” over Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH):

When asked whether they trust Cruz or GOP leader Mitch McConnell more, Cruz wins out 49/13. When it comes to who’s more trusted between Cruz and Speaker John Boehner, Cruz has a 51/20 advantage. And when it comes to Cruz and 2008 GOP nominee and Senate colleague John McCain, Cruz wins out 52/31. He now has more credibility with the GOP base than the folks who have been leading the party for years.

“Ted Cruz this week established himself as the grassroots hero of the Republican Party,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling, which is left-leaning.

“The party base has a lot more faith in him than their more official leaders like Mitch McConnell and John Boehner.”

Cruz has said this week that he is accountable to the grassroots and has blistered Washington’s permanent political class for not listening to Americans outside of the beltway. He hammered that point time and time again while he was on the Senate floor for his quasi-filibuster.

The poll, which surveyed 743 GOP primary voters, has a margin of error is +/- 3.6%.
