WASHINGTON (CNN) - Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has jumped to third place in the prospective Republican presidential field since making his bid official last week, according to a new poll.
The survey, released Wednesday by Democratic firm Public Policy Polling, found Cruz surging from 5% support last month to 16% support from Republican primary voters this month.
He now trails only Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who leads the pack with 20% support, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who takes 17%. Cruz was in sixth place in last month's poll.
Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul both take 10% support, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee tie with 6% each, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie takes 4% and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry has 3% support.
That's a steep drop for Carson, who was polling at 18% support last month, and a drop for Huckabee from 10% last month.

The idea that these polls mean anything at all just shows how ignorant people are. At this point, a poll only demonstrates cult followings (Cruz, Paul) and brand name recognition (Bush).
The poll certainly means something. Cruz is getting his name out there and people are receiving his message positiely. I agree though. Cruz will not finish third. He is shooting for first.
A new working paper by Neil Malhotra of Stanford's Graduate School of Business, and David Rothschild of Microsoft Research, shows that some voters do, in fact, switch sides in an effort to feel accepted and to be part of a winning team. But the paper also concludes that greater numbers of voters are searching for the "wisdom of crowds" when they evaluate poll results, and that the opinion of experts matters more to them than that of their peers.
You are a fucking idiot. Reports from a government sucking funds freak making the report have much or more to do with issue, nothing to do with voter emoting at the polls. BOOHOO!
