Read more on the Insiders Poll, including a comparison to last years 2012 Republican contender rankings.
Insiders Poll -- 2012 Contenders
Methodology: In tallying the rankings, a first-place vote was worth 5 points, a second-place vote worth 4 points, and so on. The Insiders Index reflects the percentage of points that each contender received out of the maximum possible. For example, Mitt Romney scored an Index rating of 78, meaning he received 78 percent of the possible 535 points, the number he would have if all 107 participants in the poll this week had ranked him first.
