Jeb Bush surges to lead GOP pack in new 2016 poll (flashback-because the polls are always right)
MSNBC ^ | June 22, 2015 | Chuck Todd and Mark Murray

Posted on 06/21/2019 8:08:45 PM PDT by DoodleBob

Jeb leads the GOP pack, according to brand-new national NBC/WSJ poll… Who makes that first debate, per the poll? And who gets left off?… Full NBC/WSJ poll comes out at 6:30 pm ET… What dynasty issue?… GOP candidates divided over South Carolina’s Confederate flag… And Rick Perry on how NOT to talk about the Charleston shooting.

FIRST THOUGHTS

*** 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.

Jeb’s candidacy as the designated loser in 2016 only showed that 2008 (McCain) and 2012 (Romney) elections were a sham.

Maybe Jeb! will get the itch to run against Trump in 2020?

Like Hillary, he never led in the polls. Polls exist to form opinion.

My goodness I’m glad I wasn’t drinking anything when I read that.

Weekly World News could learn a thing or two from MSNBC.

Either JEB or Kasich could win the Democrat primary in ‘20 if they switched parties.

But George P. Bush may be elected governor in 2022.

The most pathetic candidate ever - even worse than Hillary

Yes, IIRC Jeb was flying high, until we Conservative voters realized that he was open borders to the point where he was giving speeches in spanish.

Then, (again, IIRC) Jeb became toxic almost overnight, followed by his immediate nosedive and unrecoverable crash.

All from memory, corrections invited.

He’s a Bush.

Nobody is ever going to be stupid enough to put another Bush in office again. The White House I mean.

Of course, Jeb! was only trying to get Hillary in. That’s the dirty little secret about Jeb!. He knew he didn’t have a chance of anything. He was a distraction.

No.

He was the second coming of Bob Dole.
A man who was so bland and milquetoast that even a history of valiant service as a young man in WW2 couldn’t create any enthusiasm for him as a candidate.
