JEB's been the Governor for almost four years and still can't top 50%. That, in case you were wondering, isn't the norm for wildly popular incumbents.

Assuming McBride is the nominee, we'll have a pretty good idea of how popular JEB is in November. If Reno's the nominee then, since JEB, you or I could beat her, we'll have to continue to disagree.

caltrop, you know I like you, and I am saying this honestly to you: I have never ever seen a job approval rating poll for Gov Bush showing him below 60%. Maybe there is such a poll, but his approval ratings have been high, even in tumultuous times in FL. But, because I know you are honest too, I will give you the benefit of the doubt.

Having said that, I think it is still remarkable he polls as high as he does, considering this is a state with more registered Dems than GOP voters. It's really the swing state capital of the county, since independents and non-loyal party voters will decide every election.

As for McLawyer - I don't think he can pull it off. He was very lackluster lask night in the debate as well. If a miracle happens and he does win the primary, I have no doubt: Gov Bush will still win, and, by a large margin.

After that win by Gov. Bush, I will tell how McLawyer could have won it, as I promised you earlier. Thanks for your post. Always nice to hear from you. :)

Two media polls in June show Jeb at 57% and 53%.
