For Immediate Release Contact: Southern States JSU Poll: Republicans Carson, Paul, Huckabee, Fiorina, Trump and Santorum Lose Ground to Cruz and Rubio Democrat Bernie Sanders Benefits from Vice-President Biden Decision; Democrats Lead Republicans in Firm Commitment to Presidential Nomination Choice; Republicans Lead Democrats in Voter Intensity Jackson The Polling Center at Jackson State University s Institute of Government has released a national survey of 1000 adults. The Poll on the nation s 2016 election was conducted January 22-27, 2016. This news release presents the results among the 225 southern state poll respondents included within the national sample. Southern states included Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. The latest national poll by Jackson State University s Institute of Government Polling Center covered first, second and third choices for Republican and Democratic presidential nominees, strength of commitment to first choice for presidential nominees and plans to vote in November 2016. In three short months, Republican likely voters have made significant changes in their presidential nominee preferences. The current leaders are Donald Trump (29.0%), Ted Cruz (17.4%), Marco Rubio (7.2%), Dr. Ben Carson (13.0%), and Jeb Bush (13.0%). Since October, 2015, support increased for Ted Cruz (up 10.7%), Marco Rubio (up 1.6%) and Chris Christie (up 2.9%) Support declined for Donald Trump (down 1.6%), Dr. Ben Carson (down 2.3%), Rand Paul (down 1.4%), and Mike Huckabee (down 1.3%). Carly Fiorina and Rick Santorum remained the same from October, 2015. A number of candidates have also since dropped out of the contest including: Bobby Jindal, Lindsey Graham, and George Pataki.

Interestingly, just 17.4% of Republican likely voters reported that their support for their first choice nominee is very firm. Another 60.9% suggested somewhat firm and 17.40% indicated not at all firm leaving plenty of opportunity for candidates over the months ahead. The current leaders for the nomination among likely Democratic voters included: Hillary Clinton (47.4% -- up slightly from 50.8% in October, 2015), Bernie Sanders (38.6% -- up significantly from 8.5% in October, 2015) and Martin O Malley (5.3% -- up from 1.7% in October, 2015). Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders clearly benefited when Vice-President Biden decided against a run for President. Strength of commitment for their first choice was significantly stronger among Democratic likely voters than Republicans. Two-fifths, 42.1%, suggested their support is very firm. Another 45.6% indicated their support was somewhat firm and 6.3% suggested their support for their first choice was not at all firm.
