Jeb Bush is in 5th place in this NH poll. But that’s not his worst news out of the survey.
Washington Post ^ | 9/24/15 | David Weigel

Posted on 09/24/2015 3:55:26 PM PDT by jimbo123

It's not really news anymore when a poll finds former Florida Governor Jeb Bush far below "frontrunner" status. The best-funded of the Republican establishment candidates has struggled for months, and never achieved the sort of advantage that Mitt Romney, John McCain, or George W. Bush did in the years before they became the party's nominee.

Still, the new WMUR/CNN poll out of New Hampshire -- which has Jeb Bush tied for 5th place with John Kasich, well in back of Donald Trump and Carly Fiorina, and just behind Ben Carson and Marco Rubio -- suggests that the months of weak numbers have created a voter impression that badly undercuts Bush. In July, the last time this poll was conducted, Bush pulled 16 percent of the state's Republican voters. More than twice as many, 37 percent, nonetheless said that Bush had "the best chance of winning in the general election next November."

In today's poll, Bush has fallen to 7 percent in a ballot test. He's fallen even further on the "best chance of winning" measure. Now, only 16 percent of voters say he's their most electable Republican, while 27 percent say that of Trump.

You could spin this all sorts of ways. None of the remaining candidates -- no, not even Jim Gilmore -- crack into double digits on the electability question. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has told countless crowds that his message of a broader, more diverse, less law-and-order crazed GOP can win, and his reward is only 2 percent of Republicans calling him their most electable candidate.

FioRINO making play for Jeb’s Right To Rise money. She’s probably going to get it, too.

Here is the 218-page opposition research report on Carly Fiorina compiled by political research firm Gragert Jones for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in April 2010.

Careful Jeb!, I hear that Carly has the precise moves of a surgeon, and that she never forgets any ‘cutting remarks!”.

Jeb Bush was at least honest about his leftist positions. Carly lies about hers just like Romney did. And the results would be the same.

Sorry Jebnesty!

Your failure to support your own GOP grassroots, who so deeply, deeply desire that we NOT grant amnesty to illegal aliens is your biggest undoing.

Enjoy the freefall, and do let us know how the <1% polling data cellar is like.

Don’t count that damn RINO Bush out. The objective is to use Fiorina as a foil to destroy Trump, then wipe her out so a RINO Dream ticket of Bush/Rubio can emerges. Bush has so much money from the US CHAMBER of Commerce and crony capitalist PACS he can spend longer and harder than anyone else. The GOP establishment which IGNORED us on Obamacare, illegals, the Iran deal, etc. is determined to put that mountain of Jelly “Jeb”.

¡Yeb!, campaigning in a foreign language to foreigners who can’t vote (legally) doesn’t seem to be working. Your poll numbers are falling.

The problem for Bush is that even if other candidates like Fiorina implode, their support isn’t going to go to him - he already has 100% name ID...it’s not like they are looking to him as an option or alternative.
