Rubio voted against it because he said it weakened “U.S. national security by outlawing the very programs our intelligence community and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have used to protect us time and time again”. Marco Rubio receives the support of 13 percent, just above Ted Cruz at 11 percent.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who has made foreign affairs the centerpiece of his campaign, has yet to schedule a speech about ISIS, but he has called the fight a “clash of civilizations”. No, they focused on trying to scramble for the top rating as most conservative, as most critical of President Barack Obama, as most able to control illegal immigration, and as most likely to get the GOP nomination once front-running Trump and Carson, who’s been dented by inaccuracies in his boastful personal history, fade away. A University of MA poll has Trump leading with 31% to Carson’s 22%.
The poll also clearly showed why establishment candidates, such as former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, favored by just 6 percent, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (4 percent) and Ohio Gov. John Kasich (3 percent) are swimming upstream this election season.

Two new polls of New Hampshire Republicans, conducted since the Paris attacks by WBUR of Boston and Fox News, show that Rubio may be doing a little better in that state and Carson a little worse.
When it comes to Democrats, Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton leads with 49 percent, followed by Sen. Bernie Sanders advanced to 41 percent. However, Carson (25 percent) moves above Cruz (20 percent) and Bush (16 percent). Feingold, a Democrat, lost his seat to Johnson in the 2010 election.
In a similar matchup between Rubio and Cruz, voters said Rubio had the better temperament to be president (47 percent picked him, while 28 percent said Cruz), and 46 percent said he would be most effective at working with Congress. Twenty-nine percent picked Cruz.
The poll surveyed 1,002 adults between November 15 and 17.
Freshman Samuel Cuoco, a registered independent who leans toward the Republican Party, said that he was “not too surprised with the amount of votes for Trump…because he is so bold and confident, and represents our (college students’) views”.

“It’s awesome. I mentioned food stamps and that guy who’s seriously overweight went insane, ” Trump said in response.
