Poll: Rand Paul Leads GOP Presidential Field

A poll by CNN/ORC International released Sunday showed Rand Paul narrowly leading 2012 GOP vice presidential nominee Ryan for the votes of Republicans, 16% to 15%. They are followed by Perry, the Texas governor who had a disastrous 2012 campaign with 11% and Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor who won the 2008 Iowa caucuses, with 10%.

“With a crowded field and no clear front-runner among the potential candidates, we should expect to see constant fluctation in the amount of support most candidates get and the order of finishing, so it would be easy to read too much into these numbers,” CNN’s Polling Director Keating Holland said.
