Will Jeb Bush be able to fix this? In a new Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday, the former Florida governor has fallen to a new low, with only 4 percent of Republican and Republican-leaning voters saying they would support Bush in their state's presidential primary. In September, Bush was polling more than double what he is now, at 10 percent.
Quinnipiac also found that Donald Trump holds a slim lead over Ben Carson for the top spot in the GOP field, earning the support of 24 percent of Republican voters to Carson's 23 percent. Sen. Marco Rubio is next at 14 percent, followed by Sen. Ted Cruz, with 13 percent. In a general election matchup, Carson, Rubio, Cruz, and Gov. Chris Christie were all able to trounce Hillary Clinton; Trump, however, lost to her 43 percent to 46 percent. Quinnipiac did not bother testing a Bush-Clinton matchup.
