He does not enjoy popularity among many Republican voters, especially the right-wing of the party. However, it puts the GOP leadership, because polls show he has the best chance in the elections in the confrontation with President Obama.
The next primaries will be held until February 28 - this time in two large and important states of Michigan and Arizona.
