Internal polling by the Jeb Bush campaign showing Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is within 2 points of GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump in South Carolina is leading to speculation that it might be the reason Trump is going after Cruz so hard.
Fox News media reporter Howard Kurtz tweeted about the Bush internals on Sunday and Politico reported on them.

Internal poll for Bush PAC shows much tighter SC race: Trump 26,
Cruz 24, Jeb 12, Rubio 11--while public surveys give Trump
a huge lead
Internal polling by the Jeb Bush campaign showing Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is within 2 points of GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump in South Carolina is leading to speculation that it might be the reason Trump is going after Cruz so hard.
Fox News media reporter Howard Kurtz tweeted about the Bush internals on Sunday and Politco reported on them.
Here are the results, according to the internal poll:
Donald Trump: 26 percent
Ted Cruz: 24 percent
Jeb Bush: 12 percent
Marco Rubio: 11 percent
Public polls give Trump a much larger margin in South Carolina. The four most recent polls in the state at RealClearPolitics, show Trump ahead by 16 percent to 22 percent....

Straw, meet grasp.
Remember the “internal” Bush poll that Rich Lowery was touting in NH? Yeah. That same thing.
Or Trump may be attacking Cruz because Trump is a nasty lying liberal engaging in projection and who really is hoping to derail a genuine conservative uprising by posing as a counterfeit populist.
All post debate polls have Jeb in the toilet and Trump way ahead.
This is grasping at straws.
Your theory is now that Trump gives a crap about a poll conducted by the man he considers to be “low energy” and the lousiest candidate of all??
I doubt Bush puts out internals that show him trailing that badly unless you believe he is telling his supporters to never mind voting for him.
Again and again this story. How many times will it be posted?
LOL, you guys are going to keep reposting this Mike Murphy/Jeb Bush internal push-poll until the last vote is counted on Saturday, when Cruz comes in third behind Rubio.
I thought he hated Cruz the most? Then again, what day is this?
Two days old debunk poll. 2ndDivisionVet your agenda makes us more determined to defeat your liar-in-chief.
By the way , why you keep on repeating same old, same old debunk poll like a broken record..
Nonsense, Trump is just a nut.
I believe Trump is still ahead by 12 to 15 points, but I also believe that there is some trending toward the gap narrowing a bit in internal polling.
Trump’s big problem is that if Cruz ends up close to him and neither Bush nor Rubio is as close to Cruz as Cruz is to Trump, he may find himself in a two-way race. Trump needs to keep at least a three-way race going to win by a plurality.
If it’s a two-way race, his road to the nomination becomes much more difficult.
Trump should realize that his biggest threat is GOPe boy Rubio.
Absolutely unless Trump keeps up the liberal talking points, then Rubio will pass him up.
Candidates do not “leak” internal polls.
Hmmmm. Now why do you suppose Kurtz would cobble together a poll showing Cruz within two points of Trump; when at least six other polls since Saturday show Trump with a lead of 14 to 22 points. Mystery!
The internal poll is about as real as the secret army.
Of who do you speak in reference to he?
