Florida voters would prefer former Florida Jeb Bush to run for president while Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) ran for re-election in 2016, according to a new Mason-Dixon poll released Monday.
Just 15 percent of Florida voters and 19 percent of Republicans said Rubio should run for president, the poll found. Rubio has said he won’t run for re-election if he decides to run for president in 2016. Meanwhile, 57 percent said Rubio should run for Senate again.
Meanwhile 42 percent of Florida voters and 59 percent of Republicans said Bush should run for president while 31 percent said he should not run for president again. Bush has taken steps toward running for president, although he hasn’t announced that he’s running yet.
The poll was conducted from January 27 to January 29 among 625 Florida voters. It had a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
'Cause we know they will both lose!!!
Marco Rubio just seems like “the little train that couldn’t.”
TPM Headline: Poll: Floridians Want Jeb To Run For President, Rubio To Run For Re-elect
Alternate interpretation: Floridians Want Both Jeb and Rubio To Live In DC Instead Of Florida.
Trying to think of a reason to care about a measure (single-state, at that) of should/shouldn’t run sentiment.
