February 2, 2015: No clear frontrunner in GOP field but Romney leads when included
Various polls show show that there isn't a clear frontrunner in the republican field, with no potential candidate going over mid-double digits. Scott Walker is leading Jeb Bush by around three points, with other potential candidates all below 10%. A good result for Ben Carson, a new conservative idol, who's gaining traction. But when Romney is included in polls, then he has an early lead over Walker, with the Wisconsin governor and the other candidates close to the "establishment" losing some points.
