Since announcing his candidacy, Jeb Bush has touted his two terms as Florida’s governor on the campaign trail.
But likely voters in the state’s GOP primary put their former governor in fourth place with support in single digits, according to a poll from the University of North Florida released Tuesday.
If the primary was today, celebrity tycoon Donald Trump would earn 21.7 percent of votes, followed by retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson with 19.3 percent and Sen. Marco Rubio (FL) with 14.9 percent.
Bush, at fourth place, would earn 9 percent.

<><> Fla is at the epicenter of Medicare/aid fraud---Fla crooks sucking out billions of tax dollars.
<><> Fla is known as the state w/ the most flagrant voting fraud.

And here you have a ‘sitting Senator’ and a ‘former Governor’ and you have Trump beating the crap out of both of them....
Way.To.Go.Trump!!! Florida voters are smart people...they know who to vote for!!!
They should both drop out now. Seriously.

Need to throw dirt on this zombie’s grave.
Jeb lacerated Donald Trump WRT porous US immigration laws at the time of 9/11...when Jeb’s brother GWB was president.
The former Florida governor wrote a book in 2013, ‘Immigration Wars,’ in which he wrote that the airplane hijackers who attacked New York City and Washington D.C. on Sept. 11, 2001 were allowed into the U.S. under ‘leaky’ immigration policies presided over by his brother, President George W. Bush.
Trump and Jeb Bush have been publicly feuding ever since Trump last week noted in an interview that the 2001 terrorist attacks occurred on Bush’s brother’s watch as president.
But Jeb’s own 2013 book noted that ‘in addition to the Mexican drug cartels, the fact that several of the 9/11 terrorists entered the country lawfully under a leaky immigration system has heightened national security concerns.’ (Excerpt) dailymail.co.uk ...
Except in one congressional district that threw out a good man (Col. Allen West), and another that returned that f***ing commie jerkoff Alan Grayson to a seat he never deserved.
Looks like Jeb has himself some low-energy poll numbers right there.
The Donald has everybody thinking in terms of how Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush have to be playing defense of their past associations, not on any record they may have accumulated during their respective terms in political office.
Both have been thrown way off their games. Rubio still comes across as “pro-amnesty”, Jeb is left defending the actions of his brother George in 2001.
The best defense is a good offense, and neither Rubio nor Jeb can come up with an effective offense.
I don't think that's the case, and certainly not what Jeb said. I am as anti-Jeb as anyone, but these evil men were well established here before GWB took office. This was a plot several years in the making. I do not recall if any came in or out in 2001 with overseas trips, but their presence here was already well established. Bush is terrible on immigration, but did not mess around with terror-related countries post 9/11. I'll give the man credit where due and criticism when due.
Lets say in theory, he came into office and on his 'first day' made massive changes to our immigration policy to prevent potential terrorists from getting visas or entering our country. It would have had zero effect on 9/11. The wheels were well in motion.
9% of Florida voters are stupid.

Jeb finishes a distant LAST in my house. He should get out of the race. He is an embarrassment to the state of Florida.
It was 22 years ago that Jeb first ran against Lawton Chiles, and the Dems pulled their usual tricks to ensure Chiles' re-election, in spite of it being the 1994 Gingrich Revolution. When Bush ran again in '98, he was a virtual shoo-in, because MacKay had conspired to keep Willie Logan (black) from the FL House speakership, so all the black voters stayed home; ditto when he ran again in '02, because Janet Reno lost in the primary to Bill McBride by a hair, and all the lib women stayed home.
Jeb was a reasonably effective governor: kept the budget under control, tried some education reforms, handled the onslaught of hurricanes in 2004 very well.
But there is nothing in his resume that indicates that he would be a President who would overturn the Obama "transformation," and what the country needs in 2017 is not someone who is reasonably effective, but someone who is going to kick @ss and take names. Trump acts like he would do it; Cruz is someone we know would do it; Jindal might have been one to do it. Everyone else on the GOP stage would become the caretaker of everything Obama has forced down America's throat, and that includes Jeb Bush.
