Corrected: Trump-24%, Cruz 16%, Bush 9%, Walker and Perry 4% in poll of Texas likely Republican voters

Random survey of 976 random likely Republican voters suggests Texas Republicans in step with national polls

Corrected: The original posting indicated 76% of registered Republicans considered themselves members of the Tea Party. A key word was omitted. Actually, 76% of likely Republican voters tested in the poll do NOT consider themselves members of the Tea Party.

The Texas Bipartisan Justice Committee formed by occasional QR contributor John Coppedge commissioned the poll of Texas Republicans by non-partisan Gravis Marketing to test Texas attitudes among registered Republicans.

The results would seem to correlate with national polling in the GOP presidential nomination horse-race.
