I'm voting Hillary but impressed with Jeb's background an announcement. The media and GOP has successfully detached the goodwill of the Clinton name from Hillary, I think Jeb can also escape the taint of the Bush brand.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

The Obama victories and GOP midterms highlighted the polarization of the electorate.

Pollster showing Hilary pulling away werent reflexive of the current atmosphere. But Jeb, even in a divided race wont escape the Dubya legacy.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Good bounce for Jeb, but the question of the week is how long will it last?  My guess is not more than a week or 10 days at the most.  I can almost guarantee his bounce will be eroded by the 4th of July holiday unless he does some major campaigning and plays Mr. Nice Guy for a while even when it comes to Hillary.  If he starts getting too dirty too soon, he could be doomed.

[Likely Voter]

A couple of observations
- Rick Perry continues to show that he has much more potential than his current horse race polling level (bolstering my contention he is being underestimated)
- Rand Paul is the only one to get no bounce, reinforcing the CW that he has a high floor but low ceiling (only Christie and Trump have higher negatives)

Looking forward to seeing the full results tomorrow.

Well, this would certainly suggest that the nominee would be Bush, Rubio, or Walker. The others have too low could sees or too high couldn't sees, except for Carson, who will crash and burn at some point.

Impossible, I thought Trump was the next Reagan!

[Likely Voter]

At some point Jeb Bush (or more likely his supporters via a Super PAC without a clear connection) are going to have to go after Rubio. His positive number is to high for comfort and he has very low negatives.
