Republicans like Jeb Bush. And a lot really don’t like Donald Trump.
In fact, more than half find Trump a distraction from the primary process, not a serious candidate.
With the first Republican presidential debate coming up Thursday, a new McClatchy-Marist poll finds that a majority of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents personally like Bush, saying they view him favorably rather than unfavorably. Large numbers also like Marco Rubio and Mike Huckabee, far more than dislike them.
But nearly half dislike Trump, suggesting that the billionaire businessman who leads national Republican polls will have a hard time reaching those personally hostile voters and growing his constituency, while a host of others have room to surge.
The debate in Cleveland, the first of a monthly series, will feature the 10 Republicans, plus ties, atop an average of national polls. As many as seven other candidates will not qualify and instead can participate in a late afternoon forum.
The McClatchy-Marist poll dropped questions about voting choices in this survey, believing the debate criteria is a misuse of public polling data for a critical first debate. This survey instead measures how voters feel about the candidates for the Republican and Democratic nominations.
The favorable numbers illustrate whether a candidate starts with goodwill....

Total Paid for poll rubbish ... I have read 3 other articles citing polls that say 180 degree opposite
Bush and Rubio like illegal aliens living off the backs of American taxpayers. San Luis Obispo. Spanish isn’t it?
It’s pretty bad, like his tweets. Seems to be on board with Kasich. He may be a confused libertarian or some sort of `taint.

Um...the same Marco Rubio that has collapsed from 14% to 5%?
San Luis Obispo: home to California Polytechnical Institute (?), the fighting Mustangs. Bro-in-law studied electrical engineering there.
Years ago my brother and I bought some nice analog stereo equipment at some wholesale outfit in San Luis, fresh off the boat.
LOL.
Very revealing!
” a new McClatchy-Marist poll finds that a majority of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents personally like Bush”
See? The stage is being set by the MSM to fudge the numbers. They did the same with Romney. Even the most ardent idiot knows that no “Republican-leaning independent” will ever vote for Jebro.
A distraction from the nominating process is exactly why people like Trump. He’s not a politician.
None that I know. But then again, I don't hang out at private country clubs.
First off, the Telegram-Tribune was taken over by the very liberal Knight-Ridder chain (San Jose Mercury News, never saw a liberal or tax increase or new regulation it didn’t endorse, or nearly so)
Second, Trump and Cruz are clear leaders right now among the R voters......... they are simply the most articulate candidates plus Trump commands headlines even when he sneezes.... and Cruz has been working probably the hardest with so many appearances, speeches, position papers,.. almost all very articulate
This note is not to say that either Trump or Cruz will win the race, nor that either is necessarily my choice... but certainly they are right out there in front of the race right now.....and editorials or idiotorials or polls that claim otherwise are either mistaken or propaganda lies trying to influence the race for less popular candidate(s)
or D propaganda designed to sow dissention or confusion in the R primary
Who ? And the RINO Establishment doesn't count. They're Democrats.
I was thinking “nervous hospitals”, but that’ll work.
No consider the source.....
McClatchy-Marist is as Liberal a rag as you can get.....pure propaganda.....use in the birdcage!
We were just passing through on our way to The Gong Show!
Nursing a cluster headache now, ding dang diddly darn it.
I voted republican. I despise Bush and his ilk.
Is’nt San Luis Obispo a sanctuary city?
There are a whole bunch in libural Kahlifornia.
Could it possibly be more obvious that they long to run against Jeb?
Trump scares the crap out of Hillary and all the rest of the leftists.
If it’s Trump v Hillary there will be no debates.... Hillary would pass out before they could get her to the podium.
