PPP POLL: PLURALITY OF FLORIDIANS WANT JEB BUSH AND MARCO RUBIO TO DROP TO OUT

[Attorney in Texas]

9. Rubio is the sitting Senator. If 48% of Republicans wanted him out he wouldn't be running for higher

office; he'd be running for the border.

Since 48% of Florida voters want him to drop out of the race, that means plenty of Republicans want him out and almost none of the Florida Democrats voters think of him as "their Senator."

These numbers are so bad that they not only spell doom in the presidential race, but they call into doubt whether Rubio could bring Florida along if he were the VP nominee. In fact, these terrible numbers suggest that Rubio may have trouble retaining his Senate position (like Santorum -- his failed presidential run doomed his next Senate race).

Bush has ONLY 40% of Florida voters wanting him to keep running. If only 40% of Florida voters want him to keep running, that means his lack of appeal with Florida voters is a bi-partisan problem for Bush.
