| 3 | 3 | Martin O'Malley | Democratic | 8-Jan | "I am very seriously thinking about it, is what I would say," O'Malley said. "I've been very encouraged as I travel around the country by a number of people who repeat again and again and again their desire for getting things done again as a country and also for new leadership to get those things done." | 3 |

| 10 | 10 | Rick Perry | Republican | 19-Jan | “I think most people think we’re probably going to run, but we’ll announce our intentions in May or June,” Mr. Perry, 64, said. “I haven’t tried to be coy at all. I’ve been very forthright with my intentions to do the preparatory work that’s required, and we’ve done that.” | 4 |
| 11 | 11 | Rick Santorum | Republican | 19-Jan | Santorum is still “several months away” from deciding on a second presidential run, however, and has yet to lay the groundwork for a campaign. “We’re just trying to get a sense of where we are,” he said. | 3 |
| 12 | 12 | Rand Paul | Republican | 9-Jan | “If the ideas are resonating — if the ideas look like they have a chance – then it’s much more likely that I’ll make a go of this. If it looks like we’re at 1 percent, we’re not in the top tier, and it’s just going to be a quixotic sort of run, then I think it’s not something I want to do just for educational purposes. I would do it to be in to win. And that’s a decision we’re going to have to make later in the spring.” | 3 |

"I've never decided to get in or not get into a race based on who else is running.";"If I decide to run," he said, "it's going to be based on whether I think I've got something unique to offer." | 3 |
| 17 | 17 | Scott Walker | Republican | 16-Dec | Walker says Bush’s action “doesn’t affect me one way or another.” Walker says whether he decides to run for president will be “based upon me, my family and my state and what I may or may not be able to do for my country not based on anyone else who may or may not be in the race.” | 3 |
| 18 | 18 | Ben Carson | Republican | 18-Jan | “I am certainly thinking about it and putting together some infrastructure and listening carefully as I travel around the country,” | 4 |

| 20 | 20 | Ted Cruz | Republican | 30-Oct | “But if we run another candidate in the mold of a Bob Dole or a John McCain or Mitt Romney, we will end up with the same result which is millions of people will stay home on Election Day … and if we run another candidate like that, Hillary Clinton will be the next president,” | 3 |
| 21 | 21 | John Kasich | Republican | 25-Jan | I have not taken any options off the table. There's plenty of time for me to decide. And you know what? Ohio is a microcosm of America. And when you're doing things in a state like this where things are getting better, people are more hopeful, that's an important message to take around the country, whether I run or not. | 3 |

| 24 | 24 | Mitt Romney | Republican | 30-Jan | "After putting considerable thought into making another run for president, I’ve decided it is best to give other leaders in the Party the opportunity to become our next nominee." | 1 |
| 25 | 25 | Mike Pence | Republican | 7-Jan | “It’s not on our agenda. It’s not our focus. I am completely focused on the future of the people of Indiana and this session of the General Assembly. We’ll let decisions about my future wait until the spring.” | 2 |
| 26 | 26 | Rob Portman | Republican | 2-Dec | "I don't think I can run for president and be an effective senator at the same time," Portman said.
