Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has seen his advantage blunted in his home state over the past two months, according to a new Quinnipiac University swing-state poll released Thursday.
Bush leads potential Republican contenders in Florida with 24 percent, a decrease from 32 percent in the Quinnipiac poll of Feb. 4. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker follows with 15 percent, and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is next at 12 percent.
Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson follows the top three in Florida with 8 percent; Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who announced his presidential bid in Virginia on March 23, grabs 7 percent; and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee receives 6 percent in the Sunshine State.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich leads among his home state’s GOP voters, with 20 percent saying they would vote for him in the primary; Cruz, Huckabee and Walker follow, each with 9 percent; Bush and Carson with 8 percent; Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul with 7 percent; and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie with 5 percent.
Among Pennsylvania Republicans, 14 percent would vote for Walker, followed by 9 percent for Bush, Carson and former home-state Sen. Rick Santorum. Cruz and Rubio picked up 7 percent in the state. Bush received 12 percent of the Keystone State vote in the same poll last month.

CRUZ TO VICTORY OR GET BUSHED !
I don’t do images but I’m seeing that scene from Invasion of the Body Snatchers where the guy lights up the pod before it can hatch.
Jeb’s candidacy needs to be fried in its pod stage.
Mr. Ineviability my ass!
JB was and is a Common Core advocate, and that is a big issue here. Parents and school districts are now advocating an end to CC, standardized testing. Students are refusing to take the tests.
He is being found to be more and more out of touch.
I'm beginning to think Jeb clings to tightly to Common Core because he thinks it vaccinates him against the performance of the Florida school system. Anyone points out that Florida schools stank under his administration and he says "I was for Common Core! Rigorous Standards! Testing! Next topic please!"
But it's a disaster. Everyone except those from the bubble of PhD educators needs but one look at basic third grade math instruction to know it's insanity. It makes Jeb look out of touch at best and dumb at worst to not see it too.
That’s the one! :D
