Monmouth Poll: Christie’s numbers drop, Bush leads, Trump gets a bump
Politicker NJ ^ | 7/13/15 | Politicker Staff

The latest Monmouth University Poll of Republican voters nationwide found significant bumps, both in the vote choice question and candidate favorability, for Jeb Bush and Donald Trump since they threw their hats into the rings. Bobby Jindal has made no headway since he entered the race, and Chris Christie may actually be losing ground since his announcement. Despite Trump’s surge, the poll also found that many GOP voters are not taking his candidacy seriously.

When Republicans are asked who they would support for the GOP nomination for president, Jeb Bush nominally leads the pack with 15%, followed by Donald Trump at 13%, and Ted Cruz at 9%. The next group of candidates includes Scott Walker (7%) – who is formally announcing today – Mike Huckabee (7%), Marco Rubio (6%), Ben Carson (6%), and Rand Paul (6%). The rest of the field garners no more than 2% of the vote, including Rick Perry (2%), Chris Christie (2%), Bobby Jindal (2%), Rick Santorum (2%), Carly Fiorina (1%), and John Kasich (1%), Lindsey Graham and George Pataki earn less than a half a percentage point.

I don’t get Jeb Bush anywhere near the top unless its still just name recognition.

That sentence made me laugh.

A. Christy’s numbers drop; What numbers? I always see him in single digits.
B. Jeb’s ‘frontrunner status’. I simply do not believe it.
The polsters must be using Common Core math to arrive at those results. I am not yet detecting any brush fire of enthusiasm about brother Bush. Nor do I expect to.

If it was not for Trump there would be only one Constitutional conservative Republican with guts, Cruz!

Exactly: the poll includes numbers for “all adults” but not the results LOL!
Also it’s funny that the ‘Republican’ pollees have a larger female proportion than the “all adults”.
