By now, you surely know that Donald Trump is the least-liked Republican candidate for president. How could he not be, after months and months of coverage of how disliked he is? A new Fox News survey reveals that, thanks to opposition from Democrats, Trump is indeed viewed less favorably than any other candidate.
But if you look only at Republican respondents, that changes: Republicans view Jeb Bush even worse.
Among all voters, Trump is at negative-25 -- that is, he is viewed 25 points more unfavorably than favorably. Bush is at -21. Among Republicans? Bush gets lower marks than anyone, at plus-1. Even Chris Christie is at +4. The difference is inside the margin of error, but this is clearly not where Bush would like to be.
Part of that is thanks to Bush's slide in favorability over time. His drop looks a lot like that of another person with a famous last name: Hillary Clinton. Clinton was doing better than Bush when Fox polled in March and May, and is still doing better than him now; but for all of the hand-wringing over Clinton's trustworthiness, Bush has fared just as badly.

Unfortunately, The Donald has high negatives too. Lots of interesting polling information here, but this is WaPo.
Carson is looking pretty good here.
The Donalds high negatives from the Left are because they see him taking their Marxist con game to the woodshed for a big dose of Whoopass.
Carson is not going to be the nominee!
And how disliked is Hillary?
In a General election, Trump will crush the Democrats.
Interesting stuff!
Yeb! What’s up?
I would point out that I (for one) hate Marco Rubio even more than ¡Yeb!
MSM seems to be doing their best to shove Jeb out today so that they can circle their wagons around some more viable RINO.
I will not vote for Jeb. I just can’t swallow that bitter pill.
At this time in the last presidential election cycle, no candidate was as hated as Mitt Romney.
I note that after swearing blood oaths on family lives to never do so, 70,000,000ish people tried to elect his aborted baby BBQing ass anyway.
And they weren’t registered Democrats.
Like Marco "Gang of 8" Rubio? He seems to be the one they're tying their wagon to today.
I hear you. If it’s Jeb, this country is toast. I voted for McCain and Romney, but I will not vote for Jeb even if Vladimir Putin somehow made it on the ballot for the RATs.
LAKE and EDMUND ahead of the curve PING!
If the nominees are Jeb and the ‘Beast, then we all know the fix is in. I think I’ll be fully on board with Alex Jones at that point.
¡Yeb! The Joyful Tortoise should take off his R jersey and run as a Democrat
Carson is for amnesty, too.
No thanks
No, he isn’t.
I was at a Texas barbecue/bonfire/gun demonstration and I asked how many democrats were present. Nine people raised their hands out of about 40 people. I asked if I could burn a life-size cardboard picture of Hillary in the bonfire.
All of the self-confessed democrats said to a person, "Please do!"
And this was years before she announced she was running for president.
It is a sad state of affairs. Actually I think Jeb is a decent sort of guy. Is it that he is so much disliked - or is it the people resent another member of the Bush family being pushed onto center stage, when what we need is a dynamic personality, high energy type of candidate?
I think the latter is the problem with JEB. He is not what this country needs just now. He ought to withdraw from the race.
