Poll: Jeb Bush trails most of Republican field in Iowa (Amnesty tour flop alert)
CNN ^ | 5/6/15 | Theodore Schleifer

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush may be the most popular Republican presidential hopeful nationwide, but he trails his rivals badly in the critical state of Iowa, according to a new poll released Wednesday.

Only 5% of likely Iowa GOP caucus-goers told Quinnipiac University pollsters that they planned to vote for Bush, placing him No. 7 in the field of declared or potential 2016 candidates.

Even worse for Bush: He may not have as much room to grow over the next year as other candidates do. One-quarter of Republicans said they definitely could not support Bush, the lowest ceiling of support of any candidate in the Hawkeye State, and 45% said Bush was "not conservative enough."

It's clearly time for Jeb Bush to deport himself back to Mexico and take his non-English speaking wife with him.

I’m convinced that Jeb is not running to win but merely to keep the Bush election cartel together, funded, and ticking over, and the Bush name in the press so that Gee Oh Pee Bush has a fully functioning turnkey apparatus at his beck and call whenever he wants it.

With ten opponents, Jebbie can carry nearly every state except maybe for ME, where they have their Kennybunkport house.

It would be wonderful if Bush were just humiliated in the upcoming primaries.

Like a great big sign to anyone who thinks running on amnesty is a good idea.

from the article:
“Jeb Bush may be the most popular Republican presidential hopeful nationwide”

my question is: SAYS WHO? I think the media just spews
this out. I do not think he is really #1 anywhere with Republicans of any ilk. Who are the media polling? Themselves?

NO more Clinton’s.

NO more Bush’s.

Every other Republican hopeful should make this their mantra.

Look to the future and not the past.

As long as he has money in the bank and Ted Cruz is still standing, Jeb will remain in the race.

Because he is the media's current "Favorite Republican Candidate"?

It looks like he is the republican the leftist media wants to run against Hillary.

Remember in 2008 when they pushed McCain in the primaries then abandoned him for Obama in the general election?

First ya gotta consider the source. Then, IMO the lib media lapdogs are pushing Jeb because they believe he’d be the easiest to beat because he IS a Bush....Their quandary is, again IMO, he is not even gonna get to the GOP nomination, he’ll be long gone by then.

Maybe it’s George P. Bush’s 70 percent plus in both the 2014 primary and general election that keeps the popular Bush mystique alive and kicking.

Don't think so. Jebbie is merely promising U.S. Citizenship on the cheap. Hillary is promising moving sidewalks and a special line to expedite them through with more freebies promised at every stop on the expressway.

Jeb ain't going to top that.

Any poll that is in any way controlled or influenced by Karl Rove will ALWAYS have Jeb Bush as the front runner, whether it’s true or not.

Middle America neither likes or trusts Jeb.The establishment Republican machine needs to pound that fact into their thick skulls before it’s too late.

Right now it's all name recognition. Most voters still don't know who these other guys are but they all know the name Bush.
