Poll: Jeb Falls to 4%
The Weekly Standard ^ | Oct 2, 2015 | Daniel Halper

Posted on 10/02/2015 10:42:12 AM PDT by monkapotamus

The latest Pew poll shows that Jeb Bush has fallen to 4 percent in the Republican field. Donald Trump leads the field with 25 percent; Ben Carson is at 16 percent.

Carly Fiorina and Marco Rubio are tied for third at 8 percent of the Republican field



"At this stage of the 2016 presidential campaign, key issues divide both Republican and Democratic voters, and early candidate preferences reflect some of these cleavages," writes Pew.

"When Republican and Republican-leaning voters are asked in an open-ended format (no names provided) for their first choice for the nomination, none of the 15 GOP candidates are named by more than 25% of those who may vote in the primary: 25% name Donald Trump, 16% name Ben Carson, both Marco Rubio and Carly Fiorina are named by 8%, 6% name Ted Cruz and 4% choose Jeb Bush. Other candidates are named by 2% or fewer. A quarter (25%) of potential Republican primary voters do not mention a first choice today, four months before the first caucuses and primaries."

Spend more money and spin around Jeb. Maybe you'll turn into butter.

The Climate Change Fairy Tale says that if the government spends money it will stop the fictitious Global Warming.

So surely, a genius like you can easily get elected if only you spend more money. Mortgage the family farm, sell your car, buy some magic beans...

...yeah, that's the ticket.

Don't let the door hit you on the behind Bushy!

Yes it’s real. What happened was Bush’s campaign staff had handed out Bush campaign T-shirts prior to the photo op, but had forgotten to check the product after delivery from the printing company.

Others speculate these were pranksters who told Jed they were supporters. Just before one of the pranksters took the photo, the rest posing with Bush, took off or unzipped their coats.

"The next Republican debate will feature an undercard stage before the main event, the forum's host CNBC said Wednesday, assuaging some of the fears and complaints from lower-tiered presidential campaigns.

Candidates polling at an average of 3 percent in the five weeks before the event will make the primetime debate at 8 p.m. EDT Oct. 28. A 2.5 percent average will be rounded up to 3 percent. Candidates with a 1 percent average will appear in a forum at 6 p.m. EDT. The polls being used for the averages are from NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox, CNN and Bloomberg released between Sept. 17 and Oct. 21..."

Notice how all the pranksters can’t hold back their laughter?

Some say after they got the shot, they all ran in different directions, while laughing hysterically.

"Based on Republican and Republican leaning Rigistered voters who say they may vote in the Republican primary or caucus in their state".

Another junk poll.

They showed Yeb at his townhall of 50 or so people the other night. He looked greasy, sweaty and nervous. It was pathetic. He had his shirt sleeves rolled up, no tie. Mr. common Joe. Then over at Trump’s rally there were 3,000 people and Trump looking svelte in a nice suit. Confident and not sweaty.

Marco is pulling votes from Jebbie. Barbara Bush et ux at this rate may have to move to FL to vote in the primary there next year.

Jeb! really had to work at lowering his poll numbers. He started out with money, name recognition, Florida and Texas love and GOP support.

Yes I see that. Just amazing one of his people didn’t stop it. Also his tippy toes at the Regan Library. I didn’t think I could loathe him anymore, yet I do after seeing him do that.
