In this week’s edition of the boss’s email newsletter (sign up free here!), Bill Kristol conducts the eighth “straw poll” but this time with a twist: fewer candidates and some face-to-face matchups.
It’s time for a poll, perhaps the final one before the primaries begin: If your state’s primary were tomorrow, for whom would you vote? And I’m going to (somewhat arbitrarily) restrict the voting to the six candidates who seem to me to have a non-super-long-shot chance for the nomination (though a few of these are fairly long shots). So please vote for one of:
Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, John Kasich, Marco Rubio, Donald Trump
And then, answer this: If the race is down to the following three candidates by the time of your primary, for whom would you vote?
Cruz, Rubio, Trump
And if it’s down to these three?
Christie, Cruz, Trump
And if it’s down to these two?
Cruz, Rubio.
