Assorted Thoughts on GOP Race

New Holland ZimmPollOur latest ZimmPoll asked the question, “Who’s your pick now for GOP candidate?”

When you have nearly 20 GOP candidates, you are bound to have many opinions. Our latest ZimmPoll proves that, but one opinion was clear. Donald Trump took the majority of the votes. The rest were scattered. Candidates from both sides had the opportunity to speak at the Iowa State Fair’s Soapbox, but I believe it’s too early to form a strong opinion.

Here are the poll results:

  • Jeb Bush – 7%
  • Ben Carson – 10%
  • Chris Christie – 4%
  • Ted Cruz – 5%
  • Mark Everson – 0%
  • Carly Fiorina – 8%
  • Jim Gilmore – 2%
  • Lindsey Graham – 1%
  • Mike Huckabee – 5%
  • Bobby Jindal – 2%
  • John Kasich – 9%
  • George Pataki – 1%
  • Rand Paul – 0%
  • Rick Perry – 1%
  • Marco Rubio – 6%
  • Rick Santorum – 1%
  • Donald Trump – 30%
  • Scott Walker – 6%
  • Other – 2%
