Oh c'mon, Jeb Bush controls Washington Post polls - that's just silly.

Didn't say he "controlled" them. I said that the poll was designed to give him credibility. Because liberals love the idea that a "moderate" will get the GOP nomination. If you're going to criticise, at least make it to the point, instead of a straw man drawn from your incorrect reading of what was actually said.

The poll shows that amnesty is not critically important to a large number of latinos.

How on earth would that help Jeb Bush who argues the exact opposite?

What? How on earth did you arrive at that conclusion? If you actually bothered to look into the internals (all there, just click a few buttons), you would have seen that while 52% of all adults support Obama's executive amnesty vs. 44% who oppose (which is obviously an outlier, and has more to do with the fact that it's an MSM push poll than anything else), Latinos support it by a margin of 72%-21%. Obviously your assertion is incorrect.

Just because they support an issue, doesn’t mean that it’s the one, above all others, that drives Latino voting decisions.

I’d like to know what % of Latinos are single issue voters on immigration. My recollection from past elections is that it isn’t all that high, and they do tend to put economics first.

Again, this poll does nothing to help Jeb Bush. Your assertion is absurd. It shows that the single issue of amnesty does not drive the opinions of Hispanics regarding the totality of either party's brand. That goes directly against the main talking point of the pro-amnesty GOP.

And the Washington Post doesn't want Jeb Bush as a candidate because in their circles, he's not unappealing enough for them to be sure of victory for Hillary.
