MANCHESTER, New Hampshire — At least two separate GOP presidential campaigns’ internal polling data shows a demonstrable and significant slide for Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) after his widely panned debate performance—where New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie targeted him—Breitbart News has learned.
A pro-Ohio Gov. John Kasich Super PAC published, via Politico, internal polling numbers showing a drop off for Rubio after Christie exposed him during the debate.
In that poll, Rubio fell down to 10 percent and into fourth place. “Most of the polling conducted in the immediate days before the debate showed Rubio in second place,†Politico’s Alex Isenstadt wrote late Sunday.
“The survey, which was based on phone calls to 500 likely voters (margin of error plus or minus 3 percent), was conducted Sunday, the day following the latest Republican debate,†Isenstadt added.

Rubio is an open borders wolf in conservative clothing.

Rubio Record (immigration)
http://www.eagleforum.org/immigration/rubio-record.html
From the “CONCLUSION”:
There is no single major distinguishing policy difference between Marco Rubio, John McCain or Lindsey Graham. They have the same trade policy, immigration policy and foreign policy. But on immigration most especially — the issue in which all four have invested the most — there is no daylight separating them.
The difference, then, is one of persona, not policy. And in the arena of immigration, this translates into a vital difference. The biggest change from McCain-Kennedy, which could not get out of the Senate, and the Gang of Eight — which was nursed along by conservative pundits despite being to the left of Kennedy’s bill — was the presence of Rubio. Rubio created the conditions necessary to produce a considerably more open borders bill: conservatives who were invested in the Rubio Brand provided no early pushback but accepted Kennedy’s old talking points, and Rubio gave red state Democrats the political space necessary to support it. This is how it got 68 votes in the Senate.
The stakes of course are raised considerably if Rubio is President or Vice President. Rubio would have a much, much better chance than Obama of getting an open borders bill through Congress — while Boehner could refuse to bring up Obama’s mass immigration/amnesty bill for vote in 2014, Ryan would never refuse Rubio’s bill. Rubio’s presence, as it did with the Gang of Eight, would create the cover for both certain Republicans and all Democrats to get behind a far more open borders plan. Given that nearly every House Democrat sponsored the Gang of Eight House version (including Pelosi and Gutierrez), Ryan would not need to gather that many additional votes (House GOP leaders might have refused Obama’s 2014 request for a vote but they would not refuse President Rubio’s).
All of which adds up to: there is likely no person in the United States of America in a better position to enact mass immigration legislation than a President Rubio — no one who could deliver more votes in both parties for open borders immigration. Senator Rubio is not Main Street’s Obama, he is Wall Street’s Obama: President Obama was a hardcore leftist running as centrist; Senator Rubio is a Wall Street globalist running as a tea party conservative.
Unlike other legislation, the effects of bad immigration policy cannot be repealed. They are forever. The Republican party would never nominate a pro-Obamacare candidate, and it must be an even stronger maxim that it should not nominate any candidate who is committed to a policy of mass immigration. Rubio wrote the Obamacare of immigration policies: a bill that would have eviscerated the middle class, plunged millions into poverty, legalized the most dangerous aliens on the planet, overwhelmed our schools and safety nets, and done irreversible violence to the idea of America as a nation-state. Rubio is the candidate of open borders, Obamatrade and mass immigration, making one last attempt to pull off one big con.
Don’t worry about Kasich - no one like shim. And, thank you Chris Christie!
NAILED
He is also one of the Governors that shifted his States costs of medicare/medicaide expansion by signing up that state for the Obamacare coverage. He sits back and brags about how he has fixed the budget problems is Ohio. What he is not telling Is that he shifted those costs to the fed but in a couple years the State of Ohio have to pay for all of the new admisisons without fed dollars.
Then his charade impodes. Just like he likes to claim they balanced the Budget in 96, NEVER happened. They also claimed the did welfare reform.
Here's what they did. They went from a monthly check being sent out to a income tax filing based payment in the form of EITC. Welfare by any other name for those that worked just enough to say they had a job.
They also created groups or organization like EightCap in Michigan that is really the welfare office for providing services. In other words they are still doing it just relabeled it and spread it out a bit. The Term "welfare Office" was a stigma they got rid of. But they are still in plain sight if you look for them.
Just like crabs in a basket the rest of the field kill each other.
Because Rush has outed himself as an establishment guy. Such a fake and phony. I stopped listening to him over a month ago and haven’t turned him on since. Same with Levin.
RINO-Rush was fully exposed as GOP-Establishment when he defined Rubes as a “full throated conservative”.
HAs anyone listened to him today and get his current GOP-E message?
I have listened to Rush since the early days and what I heard was Rush trying to sell Rubio but it sounded like he did not believe his own words in the slightest.
He recently cooled off greatly on both Trump and Cruz.
Very strange.
A Chris Shritie beat down! LOL
Oh yeah, his Gang of Eight work was fascinating pimping.
And some people don’t get it.
I agree with everything, but I expect ObamaCare will implode before Ohio has to pay anything. (Fair disclosure: I’m from Ohio.)
But, if you had to pick from Bush, Christie, or Kasich, who would you pick to slip into the 3rd spot in New Hampshire polling.
At least the “Marcomentum” has been nipped in the bud.
Good. Keep up the pounding.
Now, kill that Kasich idiot. Politically.
I don’t mind that Trump will win; but Cruz must be a strong second place.

Kasich= Medicaid expansion in Ohio.
Kasich would have a hard time winning his own state, now.
Rush today was saying debates don’t matter and nobody will leave Rubio because he did poorly in the debate.
Total Rubio puppet mode.
They must have Rush by the balls. Perhaps Rush forged prescriptions during his drug days? Only speculating. That’d do the trick though.
Bush, because I like to watch a good comedy skit.
And Heb “please clap” Bush would be great comedy.
Disproving Rush’s attempted recovery today, which was a little embarrassing to hear.
I think Bush’s backers are too dangerous. I wouldn’t want to give him any kind of toehold at all.
Rush is NOT pumping rubio today, Rush is PIMPING RUBIO TODAY.
I sent Rush and email on my subscriber line, {along with the other several million on that private venue} and pointed out that I've been with him since 1988 as a listener, and a subscriber from the beginning of his 7/24 and Newsletter and all of his promotions, books, TEA sales and cancer donations, and if he continues to PIMP FOR RUBIO, I will cancel all of my connections to Rush and will have to go to therapy.
Rush has been a direct connection to my political life since he went national and I love him, BUT he sounds as if he and rubio are either brokeback cowboys or Rush is on the pad, or worse, Rush just believes what he is spewing.
If it continues, I want no part of it.
Christie only because I know that his Liberal leanings will wash him out in Super Tuesday.
No Bush, No Kasich, no Rubio... not for me.
