5 GOP Hopefuls Lumped At Top

Five Republican presidential hopefuls are lumped atop the pack in a crowded 2016 Republican presidential race that remains relatively wide open, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, neurosurgeon Ben Carson, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker each take 10 percent support among Republicans in the poll. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul follows with 7 percent support while Texas Sen. Ted Cruz takes 6 percent and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina has 2 percent. No GOP hopeful in the poll captures more than 10 percent of the vote. Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Penn.), who announced his White House bid on Wednesday, did not register among overall voters/The Hill.

Question: Which would you pick if you had to vote today?
