Florida Down on Bush, Rubio Campaigns
PPP's new Florida poll finds that a plurality of voters in the state think that both Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio should drop out.
Only 40% of voters in the state think Bush should keep running, compared to 47% who think he should drop out. And the numbers are similar for Rubio with just 42% believing he should continue on with his campaign to 48% who believe he should end it.
The lack of enthusiasm for Bush and Rubio's candidacies is reflected in the Republican primary numbers in the state. Donald Trump has a wide lead at 28% with Ben Carson second at 17%. Bush (13%) and Rubio (10%) can only achieve 3rd and 4th place standings in their home state. Ted Cruz at 9%, Carly Fiorina at 7%, and John Kasich at 5% round out the candidates with any meaningful level of support.
Beyond that group Mike Huckabee's at 3%, Chris Christie and Scott Walker at 2%, Bobby Jindal and Rick Santorum at 1%, and Jim Gilmore, Lindsey Graham, George Pataki, and Rand Paul are all at less than 1%.

There are no good Republican candidates, but I am glad to see him crash and burn.

He's trying to ramp up the outrageous rhetoric so that he'll be the logical candidate to turn to when Trump's out of the picture. The problem is that Walker isn't Trump and when he gets aggressive and threatens to wreak havoc and destroy unions and every other attention getting proposal, he just looks like a moron and a dick. He also looks like an incredibly insincere, opportunistic career politician, which he is.
