Coming on the heels of the recent CPAC vote won by Rand Paul with 31 percent, and which polled Jeb Bush at 2 percent support, a new Washington Post-ABC poll revealed that Jeb, the current darling of the GOP donor class, holds the distinction of being the least popular potential presidential candidate of either party.
When 873 registered voters were asked in late January which Republican they would definitely not vote for, 50 percent said there’s no chance they would vote for Bush. That ranked Bush as the most soundly rejected of the possible presidential candidates.
Despite that, Andrea Mitchell on NBC’s Meet the Press today referred to Jeb Bush as the best potential “game changer” who could broaden the GOP’s appeal in 2016. It would be easy to dismiss that as the wishful thinking of a “liberal” reporter, hoping for the GOP moneybags to cluelessly bulldog him to the nomination, but Andrea is the wife of Alan Greenspan.
