CNN/ORC Poll: Bush surges to 2016 GOP frontrunner
CNN ^ | December 28, 2014 | Alexandra Jaffe

Posted on 12/28/2014 7:06:50 AM PST by C19fan

Jeb Bush is the clear Republican presidential frontrunner, surging to the front of the potential GOP pack following his announcement that he's "actively exploring" a bid, a new CNN/ORC poll found.

He takes nearly one-quarter — 23% — of Republicans surveyed in the new nationwide poll, putting him 10 points ahead of his closest competitor, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who tallied 13%.

It is a CNN pol so it is automatically flawed. What I have observed recently is how FOX NEWS has become the unofficial mouthpiece and cheerleader for a Bush candidacy. Not a day goes by that their trumpets are not announcing his coming...

The more important constituency is the not voting segment, since, we have Pres__ent that represents them. So, until they can tell me who the not voting are not voting for, i call it Barack sh!t.

There is not one person I know of that wants another Bush or Hillary White House, not one!

This poll has to be propaganda rubbish.

So many of our little Republican primary voters actually think a “Bush” is “conservative.” Goldwater once said he knew no one more conservative than the senior Bush. Just another AZ lie

Wow, CNN - the official Democratic Propaganda Channel - really wants the Republicans to nominate an unelectable candidate.

Turn on Fox news for 15 minutes. You will see a Jeb Bush propaganda piece. Guaranteed. This is a full court propaganda campaign in both conservative and liberal media.

Jeb has a lot of negatives on his side, but the one you mention tops them all.

And it’s one that will never be remembered by most.

(But it’s the first thing I think of when I see or hear his name.)

BINGO.

Talk to anyone on the street and say ‘Republican”. you get dirty looks. Why? Republicans earned it. The name is an Albatross because the Republicans themselves destroyed it. They let the Dems rewrite history and then became Dems themselves.

this is why Cruz, Lee, Palin and the remaining conservatives HAVE to leave that faild fiasco. THEN people will look at them without the stink of the GOP.

“CNN and the left will be pushing Jeb until the republican nomination is sewn up. They did the same for McCain.”

If my memory is correct, we got McCain because the Democrats switched over to vote for him in the early primaries. I expect to see them get very motivated to try and do the same for Bush.

what on earth makes you think that FOX, an outlet anchored by closet cases, abortion backers and GOP watercarriers is ‘conservative’?

So how did this hated brand win 33 governorships and both houses of 29 state legislatures?

GOP-e: "Remember that you have to vote for a repulsive Bush brother (except W.), or you will get another repulsive Democrat as president. NO OTHER CHOICE is permitted."

Reverse OP Chaos!

I can see the same thing happening if Hillary and Fauxcahontas duke it out in 2016.

Yep, that’s their game plan. The gullible GOP will fall for it every time.

It’s no secret. Entitlement army to provide the votes, crony capitalists to provide the dough. Cal+Ill+NY = 104 electoral votes without spending a dime and it’s a pretty low bar for a national Dem win.

Terri Schiavo could not be reached for comment, since she is dead as a result of Jeb Bush’s cowardice.

I think it’s way too early to panic over this. But if there are credible contenders, they should start emerging now.
