JEB! 2016 President Poll: Scott Walker Gaining Ground In Florida And Pennsylvania, Swing State Survey Finds

It's NOT Fair!  It's MY turn!!!!

(International Business Times) - Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is losing ground in his home state to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and has failed to gain any in either Ohio or Pennsylvania, according to a Quinnipiac University poll centered on the 2016 U.S. presidential race in the three swing states whose results were released Thursday. Among Democrats, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is the clear top choice in the three swing states despite the controversy surrounding her use of private email to conduct State Department business. In Florida, Bush still leads the potential Republican field with the support of 24 percent of registered GOP voters, but his share has dropped 8 percentage points since February, while Walker has gained 7 percentage points to reach 15 percent. Close behind is Florida’s other favorite son, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, with 12 percent. Nobody else pushed through double digits.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich is leading in his home state with 20 percent. No other candidate was in double digits. Bush’s 8 percent in the latest poll was comparatively unchanged from the 9 percent he had in a February poll. Walker also couldn’t get traction among Ohio voters. He polled at 10 percent in February and 9 percent in the most recent poll.

However, the Wisconsin governor has overtaken Bush in Pennsylvania. At 10 percent in February, Bush was tied for second place with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in Pennsylvania, a state then led by 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who has since decided not to take a third shot at the White House. Walker had only 5 percent in that February poll, but now he leads in the Keystone State with 14 percent. At 9 percent in the latest poll, Bush is tied for second place with former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum, a Pennsylvanian who also ran in 2012, and retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson. Read more.
