JEB! leads other Republicans, but still gets blasted by Hillary; Paul outpolls JEB! and Rubio in Florida

Familiarity breeds contempt?

A recent national poll by St. Leo University in Florida finds that the Crown Prince is indeed on top of other Republicans as the choice for the party's standard bearer in 2016. He gets 16 percent in a crowded field. Maybe this says more about Republicans than anything else, but one thing it says is Republicans want to lose. The GOP front runner loses to Hillary in the same poll by 18 points.

Surprisingly, Rand Paul actually outpolls JEB! and Marco Rubio among all voters in the state of Florida when matched up with Hillary. Or perhaps not surprisingly. Floridians know JEB! and Rubio best. Paul loses to Hillary by only 46 to 42 percent, while JEB! loses 47 to 41. Rubio gets routed 53 to 39 percent.
