Jeb! at 4%: Will he drop out?

Published October 2, 2015 9:21pm ET



A new poll by Pew Research released Friday shows that former Florida Gov. Jeb! Bush (R) may be going the way of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R).

The polling report found that Bush’s support among Republican primary voters has withered to a mere 4 percent.

To make matter worse, among the majority of likely GOP voters who consider themselves conservatives, only 2 percent said they would vote for Bush.

Bush fatigue is largely due to the massive change in what the electorate is looking for in a president.

A majority of Republican voters are looking for someone with new ideas over a candidate with experience, 55 to 37 percent.

While this is the only poll that has Bush at such a low level, other national polls show him on a negative trajectory after an initial post-debate bounce.

According to Pew, Donald Trump continues to dominate the Republican field with 25 percent of the vote, followed by Ben Carson with 16 percent. Carly Fiorina is tied with Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) at 8 percent.

The poll was conducted by phone interviews with 566 Republican and Republican leaning voters.
