Here's the Republican Leading the 2016 Pack in New Fox News Poll, and It's Not Rand Paul or Ted Cruz

13-percent of likely Republican primary voters said he was their top choice.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) leads Republican hopefuls in the race to become the 2016 GOP nominee, according to a new Fox News poll.

13-percent of likely Republican primary voters said Rubio was their top choice. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker placed second with 12-percent of the vote, followed by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) who scored 10-percent of the vote.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who many expect will secure the nomination, came in fourth with 9-percent of the vote. He was tied for that position with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.

Tea party favorite Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) placed fifth. The conservative firebrand earned only 8-percent of the vote in the Fox News poll.

The results among likely Republican primary voters have an error margin of plus or minus five points.
