Shocking! Half of Floridians think Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush should quit the presidential race.
This had to hurt. The Hill reported: “ Almost 50 percent of Florida voters say that former Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio should end their respective bids for the Republican presidential nomination, according to a new poll.
A survey from the left-leaning Public Policy Polling (PPP) finds that 47 percent of voters in the Sunshine State say Bush should drop out, while 40 percent say he should stick with it. Forty-eight percent also say Rubio should drop out, while 42 percent say the senator, who has opted to run for president instead of seeking a second term in the Senate, should not drop out of the race.
A similar survey from the polling outfit released last week found that 78 percent of Republicans in South Carolina thought Sen. Lindsey Graham should end his 2016 GOP bid.
Bush and Rubio are thought to be top contenders for the GOP nomination, but are polling in single digits nationally behind billionaire businessman Donald Trump and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson.
In the latest poll of Florida, which holds its primaries in mid-March, Trump is supported by 28 percent of GOP primary voters, followed by Carson (17 percent), Bush (13 percent) and Rubio (10 percent
At least, the ones who are above ground...
Florida knows these guys better than the rest of us. Folks in Georgia warned about Carter, but people didn’t listen.
The other half are democrats.
As a Floridian, I agree that neither one of them should be anywhere near 1600 Penn. Jeb was a decent governor, but he was executive to a strongly conservative House and Senate. Rubio is a south Florida “Republican.” That says it all.
Who?
“Florida knows these guys better than the rest of us. Folks in Georgia warned about Carter, but people didn’t listen.”
Good point!
I am a Florida voter and I think Bush and Rubio would be doing the Republic a favor by dropping out of the race. Rubio has no reason to keep going. Bush can win the Nomination with very little actual results. He just has to get his 8 majorities in primaries in Deeply Democrat states and the Superdelegates can checkmate Trump/or at the convention if Trump/or manages to get the requisite 8 majorities.
Them and Hickabee, Carly, Santorum, Christie, Kasich, and Paul too?
BUT HE'S INEVITABLE!!!
Actually, they said ‘No habla inglais’
...and Arkansas warned us about Slick Willie long before 1992.
Several of the wannabes are having trouble in their own states.
