OWNING THE BASE:

The April Washington Post/ABC poll asked about potential candidates. The results give an early snapshot of how the race is going and who the born-again base of the GOP likes so far.

This graphic is not offered for republication.

The poll asked Republicans which candidate they preferred -- who would they vote to the Republican nominee if the primary was today? Among all Republicans and white, born-again Christians, the top pick was Jeb Bush. This is a good harbinger for the Bush campaign, as a challenger is unlikely to be successful without organized opposition.
