USA TODAY GOP Power Rankings: WEEK 10

A good night on the debate stage has put Marco Rubio on top of our GOP Power Rankings for the first time, and it gave Chris Christie his first taste of the top tier.
"Rubio is clearly on the rise after a strong debate performance," said Kristen Soltis Anderson, one of the 30 political experts we survey each week for their view of who is the strongest Republican candidate. "Cruz and Christie also did themselves favors in the debates," she said, but it's "still unclear how much the polls move as a result."
Rubio jumped from third to first place in our survey, and Christie moved up from eighth place to fifth.
