Gallup: Jeb Bush Only Republican Candidate With Net Unfavorable Rating
Breitbart.com ^ | 6 Feb 2016 | Charlie Spiering

Posted on 02/06/2016 8:52:10 AM PST by Rockitz

A recent survey from Gallup shows that Jeb Bush is the only candidate with a net unfavorable rating — even after he’s aired millions of dollars of ads to promote his candidacy.

Since July, Bush’s net favorable rating has gone from 27 points in to negative one point, according to the survey of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents.

That’s even lower than Donald Trump, widely considered to be the most controversial candidate in the Republican field.

Forty-five percent of voters have an unfavorable view of Bush, ten points more than Trump. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has the lowest unfavorable ratings with 16 percent.

The Right to Rise Super PAC backing Bush raised more than $100 million last year and has spent about $60 million on ads so far tearing down Bush’s opponents and promoting Bush – but with little to show for it.

Jeb= LOSER...

Maybe Ted can beat the RAT in November? He leads the net favorable ratings stakes at 45%.

I hope that doesn’t discourage Jeb from staying in to beat up on Rubio.

Jeb’s lucky pocket turtle is viewed more favorably.

Not sure where the extraneous “7” in the title came from. Please delete. Thx.

Another vote for the Washington ruling class establishment.

I told you Jeb to learn that the border has to be closed to ILLEGALS. Go fishing and save your mom’s money.

Jeb is showing some energy at just the right time to help knock off Rubio.

Keeping Jeb and Kasich in is a BIG MISTAKE!! Too much downside risk, like the elite possibly having a way to steal the nomination for them.

OTOH, it impedes the GOPe from coalescing around a single candidate.

Wonder what the favorability rating is for artificial sweetener is.

The name is toxic.
I still think W is a stand-up guy, but the name is toxic.

Even if Jeb was ideologically perfect, he’d never overcome the name.

Splitting the amnesty vote is a good thing, if Yeb! and Kasuck get out, their votes will all go to Mario Rubco.

We do not want Mario Rubco emerging as the consensus establishment candidate.
He’s slicker than Slick Willy

It’s not his name, it’s his love of Mexicans to the exclusion of concern for Americans.

My interpretation of Jeb’s unfavorables —

Everybody wants him to go away and he just won’t do it.

He’s like a fever blister.

I honestly feel badly for him.

He seems like a decent man, and he really was a good governor. But he's about as inspirational as a Saltine cracjer., and he's just wrong on too many issues.

He's become an embarrassment to himself at this point, and needs to figure out a way to exit with humor and grace, to salvage whatever he can of his reputation.

He's probably be a decent Secretary of State.

That part is true for primaries.
But W Bush allowed himself to become a punching bag for Dems, to the detriment of all Republicans.

That’s what is drawing people to Trump, he is the Phalanx CIWS of politicians.

This is where we'll NEVER agree. Rubio I could vote for. I don't think I'm alone, and I don't understand why Cruzers are so intent on crushing him. I doubt the elite would be thrilled to have Rubio in there.

It's Jeb and Kasich who are capable of anything, and aren't even bothering to campaign for Constitutional Conservative votes.
