DES MOINES â It is a portrait of deep frustration. Jeb Bushâs campaign has 10 paid staff members in Iowa, it has made 70,380 phone calls to state Republicans and it has collected 5,000 email addresses. For all that, it has recruited just four volunteers statewide and has identified only 1,260 supporters.
The metrics were shown to campaign donors in Houston this week and revealed on Thursday as part of a detailed strategy memo obtained by U.S. News & World Report.
Upbeat excerpts from the briefing, which called Senator Marco Rubio of Florida âa G.O.P. Obamaâ and Mr. Bushâs chief rival, had been previously shared with reporters.
But the full 112-page memo, which has more sensitive information, surfaced the day after Mr. Bush delivered a lackluster debate performance and was upstaged by Mr. Rubio.
On Saturday, both will appear with eight other Republican candidates at a forum in Des Moines. Iowa, the state with the first nominating contest, has been rocky terrain for Mr. Bush because of its large evangelical bloc and hostility to mainstream politicians....

Report by a Trumpster from Iowa:
On the ground in Iowa. We work the rallys getting volunteers to sign cards with phone and email info volunteering to take 5, 10, 15, 20 others to caucus. We are re-registering Independents and Lifelong Blue Collar Union DEMOCRATS at the events and later in their workplaces. We have no doubt the eGOP will bring an air war of unimaginable magnitude, unrestrained by the truth, class, or the comity accorded their democrat âfriendsâ.
Trump has reserves for that having spent almost nothing so far. Just some tshirts, yard signs and his own plane to date. No need for air war expenditures when one leadsâ¦The eGOP will bombard us from the air the week of the caucus. BUT WE OWN THE GROUND, There will be no room left in the rooms for them come caucus day.
Better yet, make that
