Over the next few months, PollTrack will be ranking the GOP contenders for the 2016 Republican nomination for president.These rankings will consider several factors, including public opinion polls, internal polls (when available), the ups and downs of the news cycle, conditions on the ground, and electoral history.

Here is PollTrack's first ranking of announced and presumptive candidates, from most to least likely to prevail:

1. Jeb Bush

2. Scott Walker

A new poll by Monmouth University/Asbury Park Press n New Jersey reports that 52% believe that the newly released internal probe into GOP Gov. Chris Christie's administration and the Bridgegate scandal was intended to "to help Chris Christie's reputation." 

While a new poll by NBC News/Maristl reports that nearly seven in 10 Americans say the George Washington Bridge scandal engulfing New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's administration hasn't changed their opinion of him, he has lost considerable ground to Hillary Clinton in an early hypothetical presidential match up. He now trails Clinton by a -13%, 50% to 37% among nationwide voters.

A new poll by Monmouth University/Asbury Park Press reports that Gov. Chris Christie's approval rating is 59%, with just 32% disapproving. This despite the scandal surrounding his administration.
