10/14/15, "What's happened to Jeb Bush?" Kathy Francovic, today.yougov.com

"Until two months ago, Bush was viewed as the most likely GOP nominee by Republicans. That is no longer the case: although Trump’s GOP support has dropped from his high point in the mid-30’s (28% name him as their first choice this week), he–not Bush--is viewed as the party’s most likely nominee. Just 13% say Bush is most likely to win the nomination."...
