Since announcing his candidacy, Jeb Bush has touted his two terms as Florida’s governor on the campaign trail.
But likely voters in the state’s GOP primary put their former governor in fourth place with support in single digits, according to a poll from the University of North Florida released Tuesday.
If the primary was today, celebrity tycoon Donald Trump would earn 21.7 percent of votes, followed by retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson with 19.3 percent and Sen. Marco Rubio (FL) with 14.9 percent.
Bush, at fourth place, would earn 9 percent.
Despite his low ranking among GOP presidential contenders, 64.9 percent of those surveyed have a favorable view of him.
When asked who their second choice would be, Bush remained in fourth place (14.9 percent) behind Rubio, Carson and former technology executive Carly Fiorina.
The poll was conducted among 641 registered Republican likely voters in Florida from Oct. 8 to 13 with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.87 percent.
