Fox News Poll – Perry making move in race for Republican nomination

A Fox News Poll conducted 7/20-7/22 has many questions about Obama, Congress, direction of country, etc.

Buried in it are some 2016 Presidential race items:

Republican nomination:
Similar to other polls, it shows the Republican field as a crowded group of 7 candidates with 3% separating 1st from 7th (basically the margin of error)

In this poll Jeb Bush and Rick Perry lead the pack at 12% followed by Rand Paul at 11%, Chris Christie at 10%, and finally Paul Ryan, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz at 9%.

The thing that stood out the most was Rick Perry‘s climb from just 3% in the poll taken in December to the 12% in this poll.

The opposite was true of Chris Christie who won the December poll with 16% and dropped down to 10% in the most recent numbers.

Democratic nomination:
It remains a 3 horse race with Hillary Clinton in the lead (64%) followed by Joe Biden (12%) and Elizabeth Warren (9%)

Clinton actually dropped by 4% from December’s 68%
Warren gained 2% up from December’s 7%

Head to Head:
Only 4 head to head matchups were polled
Clinton +10 over Christie (50-40)
Clinton +11 over Paul (52-41)
Clinton +13 over Bush (52-39)
Clinton +19 over John Kasich (54-35).  Kasich only got 2% in the Republican nomination poll.
