Jeb Bush plummets in latest national poll Trump and Carson continue to lead the GOP field. Jeb Bush's support among Republicans nationally has plummeted to the low single digits in the latest Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday, as the former Florida governor's campaign seeks to hit refresh with its "Jeb Can Fix It" tour. Donald Trump and Ben Carson, meanwhile, continued to lead the field, with Carson outperforming Hillary Clinton in a hypothetical general-election matchup. . . For its part, the Bush campaign has tried to manage expectations among the media. "FYI political press corps. Jeb's going to have a few weeks of bad polls," campaign communications director Tim Miller tweeted Monday. "Comebacks take time, we recognize and are prepared for that."
Among Democratic and Democratic-leaning independent voters, Clinton bested Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders to the tune of 53 percent to 35 percent, a 10-point jump for both from the same poll in September. In general election matchups, Carson beat Clinton 50 percent to 40 percent, outdrawing the former secretary of state in the share of both men (55 percent to 35 percent) and of women (45 percent to 44 percent). Clinton also came up on the short end of hypothetical head-to-heads against Rubio (41 percent to 46 percent), Cruz (43 percent to 46 percent) and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (43 percent to 46 percent), who drew less than Bush among Republican voters. Quinnipiac did not test a Bush-Clinton matchup. Matched up against Trump, however, Clinton held a lead of 46 percent to 43 percent. Overall, Carson earned the highest net favorability ratings of any candidate tested, at 49 percent favorable to 25 percent unfavorable (+24 positive), while Trump tied for the third lowest with another New Yorker, former Gov. George Pataki, at negative 19 points. Rubio had the second highest, at a net favorable of 14 points, followed by Fiorina at 10 points. Other candidates earned net positive numbers in the low single digits, negative single digits or in negative double digits, as in the case of Clinton (-10), Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul (-11), former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley (-13), former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum (-16), former Virginia Sen. Jim Gilmore (-18) and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham (-25). But Clinton and Trump (as well as Christie) did lead their fellow contenders when voters were asked about leadership qualities. About 60 percent said Trump had strong leadership qualities, while 56 percent said the same for the former secretary of state and governor of New Jersey. The poll was conducted via landlines and cellphones Oct. 29-Nov. 2, surveying 1,144 registered voters nationwide, with an overall margin of error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points. The overall sample included 502 Republicans, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points, and 480 Democrats, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points. http://www.politico.com/story/2015/11/quinnipiac-poll-jeb-bush-clinton-trump-215493 This message has been edited by BeWare on 11-04-2015 at 09:39 AM |
