Roughly three quarters of Republicans have already made up their minds about Jeb Bush and Chris Christie — and a striking share, 16 percent, say they would not vote for either one.
A Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows Christie, the governor of New Jersey, and Bush, a former Florida governor, both facing likability problems among Republicans nationally as they gear up for presidential bids.
Christie and Bush top the ranking of Republicans whom voters say they "would definitely not support," and their favorability ratings are also underwater.
Forty percent of those polled view Bush unfavorably, compared to 34 percent who perceive him favorably. Similarly, Christie received an unfavorable rating from 39 percent of respondents, while 32 percent responded favorably. In both cases, roughly one quarter of Republicans said they still haven't heard enough about the candidate to make a decision.

Do Republican voters realize that none of them will win a general election unless they have cross over appeal?
ReplyDeleteA candidate favored by the extreme base will get killed in the general election.
Bush has NO chance. Most Americans do not want a Bush dynasty, not do they want a Clinton dynasty.
ReplyDeleteGluttonous fat boy Christie, who arrogantly believes he absolutely has all the answers has no chance either.
Stick with the message that swept the last elections for Republicans.
What's Hillary got? "Lets get a woman in the White House.....ME!! ME!! ME!!". No policy ideas, no new idea's, just appeals to sexism, and has Obama's failures wrapped around her neck like a noose.
She has some 'splainin' to do....
