First Read: Jeb Bush Leads the GOP Pack
NBC ^ | June 22, 2015 | Chuck Todd, Mark Murray and Andrew Rafferty

First Read is a morning briefing from Meet the Press and the NBC Political Unit on the day's most important political stories and why they matter.

Jeb leads the GOP pack

A brand-new national NBC/WSJ poll finds Jeb Bush leading the crowded Republican presidential field, with 22% of GOP primary voters saying he's their first choice. He's followed by Scott Walker at 17%, Marco Rubio at 14%, and Ben Carson at 11%. While Jeb had a similar five-point lead in our April NBC/WSJ poll, you see his current position has strengthened when you look inside the numbers of this new poll. (It was conducted during the buildup and coverage of Bush's official presidential announcement on June 16.) The latest survey shows him ahead among self-identified conservative GOP primary voters -- when he was in third place in April behind Rubio and Walker. And as we unveiled on Sunday, 75% of Republican primary voters in our new poll say they could see themselves supporting Bush -- up from 70% in April and 49% in March. Bottom line: While Jeb has plenty of potential problems to overcome (his last name, his positions on immigration and Common Core, his desire to run a general-election campaign instead of one aimed at GOP primary voters), this poll is very good news for him.

I’d say the end game is Walker and Rubio.

I’ve read 4 surveys this morning, and every single one of them has a different “frontrunner.” It’s impossible to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Neither do I. Even so-called “centrist” Repubs don’t want Bush, because of the dynasty/Bush fatigue factor. Who’d they poll, Democrats?

Shaking head with disgust. Obviously UPOS/IPOS/SPOS on both sides. The fact that he is even in contention is a really sad commentary on the republicrat party. Guess the spinalectomy was successful.

Is your assessment based on Hispanic appeal? From my perspective, whether one or both speak Spanish is irrelevant, unless it is in the context of telling these invaders here to go the hell home.

There is absolutely nothing that either of them can offer me as a sovereign citizen if it involves giving my country away to a bunch of third world invaders.

The RNC is determined to force you to vote to give your country to fraudulently documented foreigners.

I will NEVER vote for ANY cheap labor importers.

Nominate an amnesty candidate and they will be a designated loser.

I can’t understand why anyone would vote for Jeb.

I'll vote for the OPPOSITION BEFORE I vote for Jeb !

I'll take out (vote AGAINST) an "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICAN" every time I get an opportunity to, and that INCLUDES the GENERAL ELECTION.

"ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS"SHALL NOT PASS !



It's SIMPLE.

I want to know who’s being surveyed. If it’s “Republican leadership” they don’t represent us.

My guess would be no one. Made it up from whole cloth.

Sad to say, that is NOT unthinkable.
