Florida voters agree, according to a poll released Tuesday: their former governor as well as one of their current U.S. senators should drop out of the presidential campaign.
Forty-seven percent of Florida voters said Jeb Bush should stop campaigning while 48 percent said Marco Rubio should join him, according to a poll from the Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling.
Not only is Florida considered a swing state, but it’s also both politicians’ home base.
The numbers improve when Florida’s Republican voters were surveyed. Fifty-two percent of Florida GOP voters said Bush should continue his bid whereas 62 percent said Rubio should.
The poll was conducted among 814 voters, 377 of whom were Republican primary voters, from Sept. 11 to 13. Eighty percent of participants completed the survey by phone. The margin of error was 3.4 percent overall and 5.1 percent for Republicans.
and i bet trump has already pounced on it on the twitter machine. this is exactly the kind of tidbit he will riff on and the mockery will be delightful…
Works for me.
Carson against any dem and Carson loses. That’s what I’d like to see.
Whew! Redemption at hand …where Jeb! and Marco H-2-O can sink into oblivion unnoticed.
TPM posted this earlier today.
Here’s an idea–maybe the Republican primaries can be negative votes. Instead of choosing who they want to win, allow them to specify the candidate they absolutely hate. Like golf, lowest score wins.
