Name recognition. Right after Bush is Rubio; they're both native sons.

While that is true enough, it doesn't alter the importance of Florida which is vital for a GOP win.
Note Paul bests her in Pennsylvania, the 6th largest state.

I like Walker polling within 6 points of her in FL, with Clinton only at 46%. That's the standout for me. Jeb polling under 50% in his "home" state isn't a good sign at all.
I'm guessing we'll see either a Walker/Rubio or Walker/Fiorina ticket if Walker wins the nomination.

Jeb polling under 50% in Florida doesn't surprise me. I realize that the MSM depicts him as a conservative and was good for Florida, but living here I know first hand what he was like as a governor; lousy. His catering to illegals, his big push for "common core", his land grabs by eminent domain and land scandals will sink him in his home state. He cannot win over Hillary.
Rubio is another Floridian that might have a difficult time in his home state; again the MSM depicts him as a conservative and he was very popular until he took a soft stance on illegal immigration. He has a much better chance than Bush and Bush may select him as his running mate should God forbid he become the nominee.
Florina is a moderate leaning conservative and Walker is considered a libertarian leaning conservative; neither will win against Hillary.
With all this being said (and strictly my opinion), it's much too early to be getting excited about the polls, especially since no one except Cruz has even announced that they are running and Hillary has a huge cloud over her head that she needs to get cleared up before she throws her hat in the ring. I'm beginning to think she won't run. My bet is still on Cruz and I definitely wouldn't count him or Paul out or for that matter Perry.

YOU mean JEB is NOT leading. Every poll anywhere seems to say JEB is LEADING ???? talk about trying to form public opinion with polls???? Problem is trying to find anyone that likes HIM.??? :whistle:

Well, at least Jeb Bush looks like he can carry the state he governed. That makes him a cut above Mitt Romney in my book.
