May 31, 2015 - With roughly nine months to go before the Iowa Presidential Caucus, Republicans in the latest 2016 national poll show that a clear front runner has yet to emerge.

Tied at 10% each are former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, Dr. Ben Carson, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee , Senator Marco Rubio of Florida and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.

In the next tier of candidates is Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky with 7% and Senator Ted Cruz of Texas with 6%. Real estate entrepreneur is next with 5% followed by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie with 4%.

At 2% each are former CEO Carly Fiorina and Ohio Governor John Kasich. Registering at 1% in the poll are former Texas Governor Rick Perry, Senator Lindsay Graham of South Carlina and Louisianan Governor Bobby Jindal.

Registering at less than 1% among those polled is former New York Governor George Pataki and former Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania.

Currently there are eight Republicans who have officially announcement that they are running for president, Cruz, Paul, Carson, Fiorina, Rubio, Huckabee, Santorum and Pataki.

Expected to join the growing list of GOP White House contenders in the coming weeks are Bush, Christie, Walker, Perry, Graham, Jindal and Kasich.

While the Republicans could potentially have as many as 15 candidates running , the Democrats are expected to have about 5 with former Senator Jim Webb of Virginia and former Governor Lincoln Chafee joining the already announced candidates of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and former Governor of Maryland Martin O'Malley.
