A disclaimer: Online reader polls like this one are not statistically representative of eligible primary voters. They are a measure, however imprecise, of which candidates have the most energized online supporters, or most social media savvy fan base. After all, what they are counting is the number of Internet-devices controlled by people who want to vote. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4255031/republican-debate-miami-cnn-survey-poll/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4255031/republican-debate-miami-cnn-survey-poll/"},"headline":"Vote Now: Who Won the Twelfth Republican Debate?","datePublished":"2016-03-11T03:39:24.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T15:49:06.117Z","description":"Tell us what you think.","url":"https://time.com/4255031/republican-debate-miami-cnn-survey-poll/","keywords":["Debates","2016 Election topic","Sen.
