Post-Walker GOP Drop Out Poll

[Adam Griffin]

Walker dropping out is the equivalent to the Pawlenty weakness in 2012 polling, followed by his sudden and relatively unexpected dropping out.

I don't consider Pataki or Gilmore to be "real candidates", so them dropping out now or later really doesn't matter and I don't think actually counts in terms of "who's next?".

Anyone who remembers 2012 knows that Santorum is perfectly fine with campaigning on a shoestring budget, out of a single pick-up truck, and talking to very small crowds. It's really how he managed to win IA in the first place. I don't think he's going anywhere.

Jindal really is the most likely next drop-out. He seems to be that mix of "I take myself too seriously" and "I should be doing a lot better than this" attitudes that will lead to him becoming thoroughly exhausted with this charade (at least Graham has the ability to crack jokes about how poorly he's doing and about himself; Jindal is a stiff and won't be taking much more of this).
