Romney, Bush seen more negatively since considering White House bids
BY DAVID LIGHTMAN

Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney may be causing a lot of chatter in Republican circles, but the public isn’t enthusiastic about either of them, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

“In fact,” said a poll analysis, “In fact, both candidates have lost ground since pollsters last measured Americans' feelings towards them - including a dip in approval from members of their own party.”

The survey found 27 percent of Americans rated Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, positively. Forty percent gave him negative ratings. Among Republicans, 52 percent saw him positively.

That contrasts with September’s marks, long before Romney said January 9 he was considering another White House bid.
