You've seen the polls that measure Republican voters first choice for the party's 2016 presidential nomination. But there's another measure of public perception -- this one on the negative side -- with pollsters asking voters to list candidates they could not see supporting.
Pollsters for NBC News/Wall Street Journal asked that very question of GOP primary voters, and in that one, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal did fairly well. Jindal is expected to announce his presidential candidacy on Wednesday.
While Jindal remains toward the bottom of the list in terms of voters' first choice for the GOP presidential nomination, with just 1 percent of those polled by NBC News/Wall Street Journal selecting him as their preferred candidate.

Trump’s numbers are a death knoll, at least they would be if he were really running for president, but we don’t know what he is really trying to do, and Rand Paul does seem to be very disliked, a lot.

Jindal also ranks better than Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.; who is listed by 45 percent of those polled as a candidate they could not see supporting”
Do they ask the same questions about Democrat candidates?
Trump has not even filed FEC papers.
He NEVER will.
His is a modern day PT Barnum.
Looks like he has:

I live in Louisiana. Jindal will never win another election in Louisiana. His approval numbers are in the teens here. I would never vote for him again. He governs just like Obama, he talks a conservative talk, but he is not conservative.
He filed yesterday.
America is finished
