Jeb! at 4%: Will he drop out?
Red Alert Politics ^ | October 2, 2015 | Ryan Girdusky

Posted on 10/03/2015 6:08:09 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

A new poll by Pew Research released Friday shows that former Florida Gov. Jeb! Bush (R) may be going the way of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R).

The polling report found that Bush’s support among Republican primary voters has withered to a mere 4 percent.

To make matter worse, among the majority of likely GOP voters who consider themselves conservatives, only 2 percent said they would vote for Bush.

Bush fatigue is largely due to the massive change in what the electorate is looking for in a president.

A majority of Republican voters are looking for someone with new ideas over a candidate with experience, 55 to 37 percent.

While this is the only poll that has Bush at such a low level, other national polls show him on a negative trajectory after an initial post-debate bounce.

According to Pew, Donald Trump continues to dominate the Republican field with 25 percent of the vote, followed by Ben Carson with 16 percent. Carly Fiorina is tied with Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) at 8 percent.

The poll was conducted by phone interviews with 566 Republican and Republican leaning voters.

More interestingly, if Jeb drops out (Huzzah!), to whom will he throw his support?

Not with $100 million he won’t. He’s hoping to outlast everybody else.

Same as McCain, same as Romney.

It’s possible that he’s already receiving messages that they don’t want his support.

If Romney announces, he’s deluded. He had his chance.

There are two polls I think are total B.S. The one showing Carson way ahead of Trump, and the one showing The Rube in 2nd place.

We need him to stay in to dilute the moderate/liberal vote...and take the money from their donors.

I don’t think Romney could even poll at 4%. He’s a proven loser and establishment empty suits like him clearly aren’t the hot item this election cycle. I hope he announces so we can see him be humiliated ... again.

Rube is a real risk of getting the nomination...especially if Jeb drops out. He will be the RINO candidate...get all the money and he does present himself very well. He is very good at public speaking. I wish Cruz had a more manly voice.

Jeb isn't concerned...

Jeb Bush: 'These polls really don't matter'

Translation: I've got the Illuminati in my corner, so my rivals better watch their closets. The probblem is, the NWO has no problem throwing their weight behind Rubio. He may be better, more easily manipulated.

Remember RINOS would rather lose the POTUS vice allowing a true conservative and reformer to win.

At this moment in 2011, you couldn’t find a conservative that would vote for him. On election day, Romney found 70,000,000 suckers that did. And within 24 hours of the great fail he admitted he was a fraud.

Never, EVER think he’s done. Because WE proved we will vote for anyone not a registered democrat.
