Sen. Rand Paul Is Early Grassroots Frontrunner in 2016 Presidential Poll

Senator Rand Paul

 March 7, 2013 -- Houston, TX --  Last week, Contract from America launched a 2016 Presidential Poll at www.contractfromamerica.com/polls/poll to gauge the opinions of grassroots conservative activists.  After 181,000 votes have been cast, Senator Rand Paul is the early frontrunner, with Governor Scott Walker and Senator Marco Rubio rounding out the top three. Governor Chris Christie is in last place.

The Contract from America 2016 poll is based on a crowdsourced, Condorcet preference voting model which prevents the vote-stuffing found in other polls and elicits deeper voter preferences.

The Contract From America's 2016 Presidential poll is the first poll in the nation to take a deeper look at how grassroots conservatives view the early Presidential horse race.

The younger Mr Paul, who like his father is a fierce advocate of civil liberties, was reportedly held at Nashville International Airport by agents from the Transport Security Administration (TSA), an agency he has repeatedly criticised for encroaching on Americans' freedoms.

A spokeswoman for the Kentucky Senator said he was being held "indefinitely" after he set off an alarm in an image scanner used at the airport's security check point.

The 49-year-old reportedly told agents that there was a fault in the machine and refused to submit to a physical search.
